HairTry

Overview

HairTry is an AI hairstyle preview service for people who want to explore cuts and colors on a photo before a salon visit. It suits users who want to steer the result with a reference image or a written description, rather than choose only from preset looks. Its range of preview options is appealing, but ongoing use depends on buying credits that expire after 60 days.

The service works across Android, iOS, macOS and the web. Its homepage describes a library of more than 1,000 styles, with more than 50 added monthly, and says its AI analyzes more than 67 facial points to recommend hairstyles. Those tools make it useful for narrowing down ideas; a generated preview is not a guarantee of the result a stylist can produce.

Key features

HairTry previews styles from the front, side, back and top, and offers 15 hair colors spanning natural and bold shades. Multiple angles and color choices can help users compare a look more thoroughly than a single front-facing image, though they do not replace a conversation with a stylist about what suits their hair.

Users can upload an inspiration photo to transfer its hairstyle onto their own selfie, or describe a style in words for the AI to generate. The reference-image option gives users a concrete starting point; prompts allow more flexibility but require translating an idea into a description. Personalized recommendations and custom views are also included with the paid credit packs.

HairTry supports ultra-HD output and watermark-free exports. The plans include HD downloads, social sharing and 14 days of cloud storage. These are practical extras for saving or sharing a candidate look, but the storage window is shorter than the 60-day credit validity period.

Photos and privacy

HairTry says uploaded photos are automatically deleted after 14 days and are not used for other purposes. Its privacy policy says facial data is not used for identification, biometric recognition is not performed, and facial data is not shared with third parties. Registration may require an email address, city, gender and name, so users should weigh that account information alongside the photo-handling terms.

The free trial includes all features and does not require a credit card. It is a useful way to explore the full set of tools before paying; it is a trial, not an ongoing free plan.

Pricing

HairTry sells one-time credit packs rather than recurring subscriptions. Every pack includes all hairstyles and colors, custom views, personalized recommendations, watermark-free results, 14 days of cloud storage, social sharing and HD downloads. Credits remain valid for 60 days, so the key trade-off is how much usage to buy against a limited redemption period.

• Starter: $4.99, paid once, billed Pay as you go, for 20 credits. Best for a small number of comparisons; it gives up the larger credit allowance of the higher tiers.
• Casual: $12.99, paid once, billed Pay as you go, for 50 credits. A middle option for users who expect to explore more looks without committing to the 120-credit pack.
• Enthusiast: $29.99, paid once, billed Pay as you go, for 120 credits. It offers the largest stated allowance for frequent or broader experimentation, but those credits still expire after 60 days.

There is no recurring renewal term on these pay-as-you-go packs. Choose the smallest pack likely to cover your needs if you may not use credits quickly; the larger allowance is useful only if you expect to spend it within its validity period.

Platforms

HairTry is available on Android, iOS, macOS and the web, giving users mobile and desktop options. Its listed mobile support covers both iOS and Android. The service says its first public release was April 16, 2025.

Who it's for

HairTry is a good fit for people who want to bring several visual options to a salon consultation, especially if they have a reference photo or a specific style in mind. The angle and color previews make comparisons more considered, while the full-featured trial gives prospective users a chance to decide whether the results suit their needs before purchasing credits.

It is less suitable for someone seeking a lasting free tier or who may use the app only sporadically over several months. The trial is free, but the plans are paid and unused credits do not remain valid beyond 60 days.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Front, side, back and top previews plus 15 colors give users more ways to compare a look before a salon visit.
• Pros: Reference-image transfer and written prompts let users guide the result beyond the built-in style library.
• Pros: The free trial includes all features and requires no credit card, lowering the barrier to evaluating the service.
• Cons: Credit packs expire after 60 days, which can penalize occasional users who buy more than they use.
• Cons: Uploaded photos are automatically deleted after 14 days, limiting the time available to revisit cloud-stored results.
• Cons: There is no ongoing free plan; continued use requires a one-time credit purchase.

Verdict

HairTry is a strong choice for users who want to explore a style from several angles, test color, and guide AI previews with either a reference image or a prompt. The all-features trial makes it easy to assess that workflow before spending. Look elsewhere if you need a continuing free option or expect credits to sit unused: every paid pack expires after 60 days.
