Quick answer
Named haircuts, each with its reason.
A hairstyle recommender ranks named haircuts for your face shape and forehead proportion and explains each choice with the measurement behind it.
Upload a photoHow it works
Choose a photo
Use a front-facing photo with your hair pulled back from your face and forehead.
We read your face shape
Your face length, cheekbone, jaw and forehead widths are measured.
We rank haircuts
Named cuts are scored against your shape, forehead proportion and, if you tell us, your hair length.
You get your cuts
You see ranked haircuts, each with the measurement it answers, and can save or dismiss each one.
What a haircut does for each face shape
| Face shape | What a flattering cut usually does |
|---|---|
| Oval | Keeps the balance: most lengths and partings work |
| Round | Adds height at the crown and length below the chin |
| Square | Softens the jaw with layers and movement |
| Heart | Adds fullness at the jaw and softens a wider forehead |
| Diamond | Adds width at the forehead and chin around narrower ends |
| Oblong | Adds width at the sides; a fringe shortens the face |
| Triangle | Adds volume at the temples to balance a wider jaw |
How this was analysed
How we handle your photo
What happens from the moment you choose a photo:
Your photo is resized and its location and camera metadata removed before anything is sent.
Face landmarks are located in your browser. If your browser can't, they are found on our server instead, by our own model or Amazon Rekognition.
The photo is sent once over an encrypted connection to check lighting and sharpness, and for colour tools to sample your skin. It is held in memory for that request and never written to disk or a database.
The measurements from your read, saved to your profile, which works without an account. Export or delete them any time.
Your photo is never used to train models. We don't keep it, so it can't be.
How we check our method
FaceAuraAI publishes its method, a rule check anyone can re-run and its bias notes — not scan totals or accuracy percentages. Each result carries a confidence label based on that photo's quality and how clear-cut the result was.
Stated selection biases
- Selfie uploaders who choose to use FaceAuraAI tools
- Front-facing photos with sufficient landmark confidence
- Landmarks found in the browser where it can, on the server where it can't
- English-first marketing traffic until locale depth catches up
- No age, region, or ethnicity stratification unless explicitly sampled and labeled

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the hairstyle recommender free?
Yes. Guests get 2 free reads a day, and a free account gets 5 a month. The limit is checked before you choose a photo, so you never upload and then hit a paywall.
What haircut suits my face shape?
A flattering cut usually balances your face: height and length for rounder faces, width for longer ones, softness for strong jaws. The recommender ranks named cuts for your own measurements, including your forehead proportion.
Why should I pull my hair back for the photo?
Hair covering your forehead, temples or jaw hides the landmarks that decide your shape. Pull it back for the read; the recommendations then suggest how to wear it.
Does my hair length change the recommendations?
Yes. Tell us your current length and cuts that need more or less length are ranked accordingly. Your answer is saved to your profile and can be changed at any time.
Can I bring the results to my stylist?
Yes. Each cut is named, with the reason it suits you, so you can show your stylist the list or save the ones you like to your profile.
Do you store my photo?
No. Your photo is used for this one read and then discarded; it is never written to disk or a database. What we keep are the measurements, saved to your profile, which you can export or delete at any time.
