Who is the AI Hairstyle Try-On API for?

It is built for salons and barbershops, hair care, color, and wig brands, e-commerce retailers, and beauty and photo apps. Any business that wants customers to see a new hairstyle on themselves before they book or buy can add it with one API key.

What makes this hairstyle API different?

It offers both 150+ curated presets and try-on from any inspiration photo, and it can keep the customer's natural hair color while changing the cut. Facial features stay almost unchanged, so previews look like the real person. It also connects to YouCam APIs for hair color, bangs, extensions, volume, and hair analysis.

Can customers try on a hairstyle from their own inspiration photo?

Yes. In Customize mode, customers add any reference image, by upload or image link, and the API recreates that haircut on their photo. This works alongside the 150+ preset styles, so you can offer both curated and open-ended try-on.

Can the try-on keep the customer's natural hair color?

Yes. Version 2.1 adds a hair color choice to Customize mode, so the result can copy the reference cut and texture while keeping the customer's own color, or adopt the reference color instead. Existing integrations keep their current behavior until you choose the new option.

What is the difference between V2.0 and V2.1?

V2.1 adds the hair color choice for inspiration photo try-ons, giving you separate control over cut and color. Both versions are available in the API Playground, where a version selector lets you compare them on your own images.

What kind of photo gives the best results?

A clear, front-facing photo of one person, with the full face, hair, and shoulders visible, works best. Even lighting and a plain background help the AI produce the most natural result.

Can I use it as a hair AI SDK in my web or mobile app?

The hairstyle try-on is delivered as a standard REST API, so it fits into web, iOS, Android, and Flutter apps without a native library. The documentation includes code snippets for JavaScript, Java, Python, PHP, Node.js, and curl.

Can AI agents call the hairstyle API through MCP?

Yes. AI Hair Style Virtual Try-On is a tool on the YouCam Beauty MCP server, supporting both preset styles and inspiration photos. Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot in VS Code can call it with your existing API key.

AI Hairstyle Try-On API: Presets or Any Reference Photo

Virtual Hairstyle Try-On That Still Looks Like the Customer

The AI Hairstyle Try-On API is a generative AI service that shows a new hairstyle on a person's own photo while keeping their face almost unchanged. Businesses can offer 150+ preset men's and women's styles or let customers copy any cut from an inspiration photo, with the option to keep their natural hair color.

Help Every Customer Find Their Next Haircut Before the First Cut

Hair is the hardest look to commit to, because a cut that does not suit takes months to grow out. Let customers see the style on themselves first, and they book, buy, and come back with confidence.

Salons and barbershops: settle the "will it suit me" question before the client sits in the chair
Hair care, color, and wig brands: connect every style to the products that create and maintain it
Beauty and photo apps: offer a makeover feature users return to again and again
