HairTry vs Snipd

HairTry lets you preview hairstyles and hair colors on a photo before a salon visit. Its library includes more than 1,000 AI hairstyles, with more than 50 new styles added each month. HairTry says its AI analyzes more than 67 facial points to recommend styles. Previews can show the front, side, back, and top, and users can choose from 15 hair colors. You can also upload an inspiration photo to transfer a hairstyle or describe a look in words for the AI to generate. HairTry is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web. The free trial includes all features and requires no credit card. Paid credit packs are $4.99, paid once, $12.99, paid once, and $29.99, paid once; they provide 20, 50, and 120 credits respectively, each valid for 60 days. HairTry says uploaded photos are automatically deleted after 14 days. Its privacy policy says facial data is not used for identification or biometric recognition and is not shared with third parties.

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.
