Try Hairstyles-AI Change Color
Android OnlyFree· User Rating
I tried Try Hairstyles-AI Change Color as a quick beauty app for experimenting with haircuts, hair colors, makeup looks, and salon-style makeovers. My first impression was that it is built for visual exploration rather than serious hair consultation: you choose a look, apply the idea to a photo, and decide whether the result gives you something worth showing to a stylist or simply sharing with friends. That makes it approachable, especially when I want inspiration without committing to a real haircut or dye job.
It is a free beauty app from Bizo Mobile, available to Everyone, and it runs on Android devices using version 6.0 or later. The app has reached over 500 thousand installs and holds a 4.0 average from around 4.8 thousand ratings. Those figures suggest that it has found a reasonably broad audience, although I would treat popularity as a starting point rather than proof that every result will suit every face or phone.
What I noticed when testing the makeover experience
A simple way to explore a new appearance
The main appeal is easy to understand: instead of searching through separate galleries for cuts, color ideas, and makeup inspiration, I can use one place to create a rough preview. That is useful when I have a vague thought such as “maybe shorter,” “perhaps warmer,” or “what would I look like with a completely different style?” A visual mock-up can turn that vague thought into something concrete enough to discuss.
I would not use the app as a replacement for a professional consultation. Hair texture, density, curl pattern, face shape, lighting, and the condition of the hair all affect the real result. A virtual style can look convincing while still being impractical for daily maintenance. I found the best way to use it is as a conversation tool: save the looks that communicate what I mean, then ask a stylist what can actually be achieved.
That distinction matters because a digital makeover tends to present the finished appearance without showing the work required to maintain it. A dramatic color may need regular touch-ups, while a cut that looks balanced in a still image may require styling products or heat tools every morning. The app is strongest at helping me compare ideas, not at predicting the full salon experience.
Choosing the right photo makes a bigger difference than expected
One practical lesson I learned is that the starting photo matters more than the number of styles I try. A clear, front-facing image with the hair visible gives the makeover a better foundation than a dark selfie, a heavily angled portrait, or a picture where the hair blends into the background. I also prefer a neutral expression and even lighting because they make it easier to judge the shape of the result rather than getting distracted by the photograph itself.
For a realistic comparison, I would use one photo for several different looks instead of changing the image every time. That keeps the face, lighting, and pose consistent. It becomes easier to compare a short cut with a longer one, or a cool shade with a warm shade, without accidentally comparing the quality of two different photographs.
This workflow is especially useful before a salon appointment. I can make a small shortlist rather than arriving with a dozen unrelated screenshots. My advice is to keep the most natural-looking option, one bolder alternative, and one style that is close to the current haircut. That gives the stylist a clearer idea of my comfort level and makes the conversation more productive.
Color previews need a little skepticism
Hair color is where I think users should be most careful. Screen brightness and the original photo’s white balance can change how a shade appears. A color that looks soft and neutral on my phone may appear brighter in daylight, while a darker tone can hide detail in an indoor image. I use the previews to compare direction rather than to identify an exact dye formula.
There is also a difference between changing visible color and achieving that color in real life. Going lighter may involve bleaching, and the existing shade can affect the final result. The app cannot turn a visual suggestion into a guaranteed salon outcome. If I were considering a major color change, I would show the image to a qualified stylist and ask about the condition of my hair, the likely process, and the upkeep before making a decision.
A useful trick is to view the same result at normal phone brightness and again in a brighter environment. If the style only looks appealing under one lighting condition, I would consider it an experiment rather than a dependable reference. That small check prevents me from treating a flattering screen effect as a precise color consultation.
Makeup ideas add variety, but they are not the whole beauty routine
The makeup side makes the app more useful for people who want to coordinate a complete look. I can think about hair and makeup together instead of deciding on a haircut first and then trying to imagine which makeup style would balance it. This is handy for an event, a photo session, or simply testing a different personal style without buying products immediately.
Still, a virtual makeup look does not tell me how a product feels, how long it lasts, or whether a particular formula works with my skin. It also cannot replace checking shades in person when undertones matter. I see this part as an idea board: it helps me notice combinations I might not have considered, but it should not be treated as a product recommendation or a skin-care assessment.
Trust begins with the choices I can actually see
Because this app works with personal photos, I pay attention to the moments when I am asked to choose an image or continue through the experience. The important question is not simply whether the result looks good; it is whether I understand what I am selecting at each step. I prefer to pause before importing a photograph, especially when the image includes another person, a child, or a private setting in the background.
I also keep the app’s purpose in mind. A portrait used for a hairstyle experiment can be more personal than an ordinary screenshot, so I avoid using photographs that reveal information I would not want associated with a beauty test. I crop out unnecessary background details when possible and choose a picture created specifically for the experiment rather than one containing friends or family members.
These are not reasons to avoid the app. They are sensible habits for any photo-based tool. The app is most comfortable for me when I remain deliberate about which image I select and when I do not assume that a fun makeover should automatically involve every photograph on my device.
How I handle account and purchase decisions
The app is free to download and use as an entry point, but in-app purchases are listed at $5.99 per item. That makes it important to read each purchase screen carefully before confirming anything. I would not tap through quickly just because I am curious about a particular look. If a paid item appears, I first decide whether it adds meaningful value to my experiment or whether the free experience already answers my question.
I also recommend checking the wording around any purchase and using the device’s normal purchase protections. This is especially relevant if children use the phone, since the content rating is Everyone and the beauty theme can make the app seem harmless enough to hand over casually. A child may understand the makeover but not the financial consequence of tapping a purchase option.
For my own use, I treat paid looks as optional extras rather than part of the basic decision to install the app. If I only want to compare a few haircut directions before an appointment, I would start with the available free experience and set a personal limit before exploring further. That keeps the app from turning a small style experiment into an unplanned expense.
Where the app fits among ordinary alternatives
The usual alternatives are salon consultations, hairstyle galleries, social media searches, and dedicated photo-editing tools. Each has a different strength. A stylist can assess the actual condition and behavior of my hair. A gallery can show real people and real salon work. Social platforms offer a huge range of references, although the images may be edited or carefully staged. A general photo editor can provide more control, but it may require more effort and produce less beauty-specific results.
This app sits between those options. It is more interactive than browsing a static gallery, but less authoritative than speaking to a professional. It is more focused than a general editor, but may not offer the same level of manual control. I like that middle position when I need quick inspiration, especially because the goal is to imagine a change on my own face rather than only admire a style on someone else.
On the other hand, I would choose a real stylist first if I had a technical question about damaged hair, a difficult color correction, or a cut that depends heavily on curl pattern. I would choose a gallery first if I wanted to study real texture, movement, and maintenance over time. The app is not the best answer for every beauty decision, and its value increases when I use it alongside those alternatives rather than expecting it to replace them.
Everyday scenarios where I found it useful
Imagine I have an appointment after work and only know that I want a change. I can take a clean portrait during lunch, test a few lengths and colors, and arrive with two or three visual references. That is more useful than saying “make it modern” because the images give the stylist something specific to question and adapt.
Another realistic use is preparing for an event. I might be choosing between a familiar hairstyle and a more noticeable makeover, while also wondering whether a stronger makeup look would feel balanced. Trying the combinations digitally lets me narrow the direction before spending money on products or booking a service.
I can also see it helping someone who is nervous about change. A person considering bangs, a different parting, or a new color may not need a perfect prediction; they may simply need to see enough of the idea to decide whether it feels exciting or uncomfortable. Even when the preview is imperfect, it can make the decision less abstract.
There is a quieter use case too: learning what I actually like. By comparing several styles on the same photo, I can notice patterns in my preferences. Perhaps I consistently choose softer colors, open forehead shapes, or shoulder-length cuts. That kind of self-observation is more valuable than chasing every fashionable look shown in an app.
Limitations I would want new users to understand
The biggest limitation is that a preview can encourage overconfidence. Hair does not exist as a flat layer on a screen; it has weight, texture, growth patterns, and movement. A look that works in a front-facing image may behave very differently from the side or back. I therefore avoid judging a style solely by whether the front view looks attractive.
Another limitation is personal interpretation. Beauty is subjective, and an app can make a style appear polished without telling me whether it fits my wardrobe, workplace, routine, or budget. Someone who rarely styles their hair may be disappointed by a look that requires daily effort. Someone with a strict color-maintenance routine may prefer a less dramatic change even if the bold option is more exciting visually.
The purchase structure can also create friction. A free app is easy to try, but an item priced at $5.99 deserves a deliberate decision. I would rather understand what I am paying for before continuing than discover the cost only after becoming invested in a particular look. That is a small but important part of using the app responsibly.
Finally, photo privacy depends partly on my own choices. I do not upload an image casually just because it is convenient. I select a suitable portrait, remove distracting background details, and avoid including other people. That approach does not make a photo-based experience risk-free, but it gives me more control over what I choose to expose.
Who I think should try it
I recommend it to someone who wants fast hairstyle inspiration and enjoys comparing visual possibilities before making a real-world decision. It is a good fit for a salon visit, an upcoming event, a personal style refresh, or a low-pressure way to explore colors and makeup. The low entry cost also makes it easy to test without committing to a subscription-style beauty service.
I think it is less suitable for someone looking for exact color matching, professional technical advice, or a detailed plan for maintaining a haircut. It is also not my first choice for users who prefer not to work with personal photos or who want highly manual editing controls. In those cases, a stylist, a real-photo gallery, or a more advanced editor may offer better answers.
The developer, Bizo Mobile, has kept the concept focused enough that I can understand the app quickly. Its current version is 1.0.28, and the Android requirement of 6.0 or later makes it accessible to many older devices. I would still judge the experience on my own phone, since photo tools can feel very different depending on screen size, camera quality, and available storage.
My cautious verdict
Try Hairstyles-AI Change Color is a useful imagination tool, not a promise of what a salon result will look like. I like it most when I use the previews to prepare better questions, compare a small number of ideas, and discover preferences I could not easily describe in words. The haircut, color, and makeup combination gives it more range than a simple hairstyle gallery.
My recommendation comes with two habits: treat every result as inspiration rather than a guarantee, and make conscious choices about photographs and purchases. The app is free to start, but individual in-app items cost $5.99, so I would review each option before paying. I would also keep private images out of the experiment unless I am comfortable using them in a photo-based beauty workflow.
For me, the strongest reason to install it is convenience. A few minutes of testing can turn uncertainty into a shortlist that I can discuss with a professional or use to plan an event look. The weakest point is the gap between a polished preview and the practical reality of hair texture, upkeep, and color processing. If you understand that trade-off, this Beauty app is a pleasant, accessible way to explore change while keeping the final decision in your own hands.

FAQ
What is Try Hairstyles-AI Change Color, and how does it work?
Try Hairstyles-AI Change Color is a beauty and photo-editing app designed to help you preview different hairstyles and hair colors using artificial intelligence. After selecting or taking a photo, you can experiment with virtual cuts, styles, and shades. The results are intended as visual inspiration rather than a guaranteed prediction of how a hairstyle will look in real life.
Do I need a professional photo for the hairstyle and color effects to work well?
A clear, front-facing photo usually produces the most convincing results. Good lighting, a visible face, and hair that is not heavily covered by hats or accessories can improve the AI analysis. Photos with strong shadows, unusual angles, busy backgrounds, or hair covering the face may lead to less accurate overlays or artificial-looking results.
Can I try both hairstyles and hair colors before visiting a salon?
Yes, the app is mainly useful for comparing different looks before making a change. You can explore various hairstyle ideas and color options, which may help you decide what to ask for at a salon or show a stylist as a reference. However, the final result can vary because hair texture, length, thickness, lighting, and the stylist’s technique are not fully represented in a digital preview.
Is Try Hairstyles-AI Change Color free to use?
The availability of features may depend on the app version, device, region, and subscription model. Some basic hairstyle or color previews may be accessible without payment, while premium effects, additional styles, or unlimited editing can require in-app purchases or a subscription. Before downloading or starting a trial, check the current store listing for pricing, renewal terms, and included features.
Are my photos and personal data safe when using the app?
Because the app works with personal photographs, it is important to review its privacy policy and the permissions requested during setup. Check whether images are processed on the device or uploaded to online servers, how long they may be stored, and whether they are used for service improvement. Avoid uploading photos containing other people unless you have their permission.
