HairLook vs Snipd

HairLook is an AI virtual makeover app for previewing hairstyles on your own selfie or uploaded photo before a salon visit. You can browse a gallery of hundreds of curated looks, with new styles added weekly, or upload an inspiration image from Pinterest, magazines, social media, or another source. Hair-color previews cover natural and bold shades, balayage, ombré, highlights, and dimensional color. Additional tools include a bangs editor, makeup try-on, glasses, and face retouching. HairLook offers free features and selected hairstyle try-ons; hairstyle transfer requires a subscription. HairLook Pro Monthly costs $19.99 a month, while HairLook Pro Yearly costs $59.99 a year. Both plans allow up to 40 hairstyle generations per calendar week. The service runs on iOS, Android, and the web, and cloud processing requires an internet connection. Uploaded photos are automatically deleted within 72 hours.

Snipd lets users preview hairstyles and hair colors on their own photos before visiting a stylist. A selfie-based try-on shows possible looks, and a photo-match feature lets users bring a hairstyle reference image to explore that style on themselves; some features require Premium. For ideas without a photo or sign-up, the website offers a free quiz: five questions produce three hairstyle ideas. Snipd says its suggestions span straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair, along with braids and locs. The app is presented as a way to explore a look and share a preferred preview with a stylist. The previews are inspiration, and a real cut or color may look different. Snipd is listed for iOS and web, while its site says the iPhone app requires iOS 17 or later. The Free plan is free. Premium costs $29.99, paid once, billed 3 months, or $69.99 a year, billed Yearly. App Store subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal.
