Haristyle vs Naee

Haristyle is an Android augmented reality app for previewing hairstyles before a haircut. It uses the camera to detect the user's head, then tracks it so a selected style moves with them as they turn or tilt. The catalogue contains more than 50 3D hairstyles, and users can explore colors such as dyes, highlights, lowlights, and ombre effects. A preview can be saved to the gallery and shown to a barber or friends. The app is freemium: its Free plan is free, and the Google Play listing says four premium styles can be tried at no cost. Suggested uses include choosing a haircut, testing colors, and planning a wedding or event look. Haristyle says face tracking and hair rendering happen locally, without uploading facial geometry or camera feed to its servers. It collects device information and anonymous usage analytics and says it does not sell personal data. Previews are simulations, so actual results may vary.

Naee is an iPhone app that uses AI to preview hairstyles and hair colors on your photo. You can explore cuts, colors, and textures on your own image, or provide a reference photo so the app can pick up cues about its cut, length, and color. An AI hairstylist chat covers face shapes, everyday care, and style choices. The App Store listing says the app analyzes face shape and suggests hairstyles. You can save favorite looks, compare options, and keep a reference for a salon visit. The free download includes limited credits for a trial; after that, AI hairstyle generations, hair color changes, and Stylist Mode require a subscription or credit purchase. Listed purchases include 5 credits for 3.99 EUR once and 50 credits for €17.99 a month. For face analysis and hairstyle generation, selected photos are sent to Google AI Services via Firebase. The policy says photos are not used to train AI models and are not retained on Google servers after processing; original photos and face-analysis results stay on your device while the app is installed. The app requires iOS 17.6 or later.
