Haristyle review
A focused Android AR app for previewing cuts, colors, bald looks, and wigs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Haristyle is a mobile augmented-reality app for previewing hairstyles before a haircut, color change, event look, or wig purchase. It is designed for Android users who want to see 3D hairstyles anchored to their head and face while moving naturally. The app includes more than 50 hairstyle models, hair-color effects, bald-cap simulation, virtual wig try-on, and image saving for sharing with a stylist.
Its standout feature is real-time AR tracking. Haristyle uses local face tracking to keep 3D hairstyles aligned as the user turns and moves, with multiple viewing angles available during the preview. That makes it more useful for evaluating how a style appears from different directions than a static image overlay. Color previews extend the experiment beyond shape, covering hair color, highlights, lowlights, and ombré effects. Bald-cap simulation and wig try-on also give the app a broader use case than haircut previews alone.
Haristyle follows a freemium model. The published free mode includes four premium styles, with paid premium subscriptions also available. The app’s main trade-off is focus: its library is smaller than broader hairstyle platforms, and access is limited to Android. Choose Haristyle if real-time movement tracking, color experimentation, and wig or bald-look previews matter more than extensive platform coverage. Android users seeking a focused visual try-on tool should find the feature set relevant, while people on other mobile platforms or those who need a wider style catalogue should consider an alternative.
