HairLook review
A mobile hairstyle previewer with broad color, texture, and makeover tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HairLook is a mobile AI hairstyle try-on app for people comparing potential cuts, colors, bangs, textures, and special-occasion styles before visiting a salon. Users can start with a selfie, browse a gallery, or upload a hairstyle or hair-color inspiration image. The app transfers selected looks onto the user photo and also offers makeup, glasses, eye-color, face-retouching, and related makeover tools. It is available on iOS and Android, with cloud-based processing for hairstyle previews.
Its main strength is breadth within mobile beauty editing. HairLook covers balayage, ombré, highlights, gray, and fantasy shades alongside straight, wavy, and curly texture previews. The gallery includes cuts, bangs, curls, and wedding styles, while the bangs editor offers a more focused way to explore fringe changes. Users can save and share generated looks, making the app suitable for building a shortlist of ideas or comparing several directions before a salon appointment.
Access is organized around HairLook Pro Weekly, which includes hairstyle transfer and up to 40 hairstyle generations per calendar week. There is no free plan, so it is a better fit for people who expect to generate multiple previews rather than those seeking occasional cost-free experimentation. The app also stays focused on mobile photo-based previews: users who need desktop workflows or broader professional salon planning should look elsewhere. Choose HairLook for convenient hairstyle, color, and beauty exploration on a phone; skip it if weekly generation limits or paid-only access do not suit your process.
