How Styloom works
Last updated November 5, 2026
Trying a style on your photo
- You pick a haircut, bangs or a hair color.
- You add a clear photo of yourself. It's resized on your device before it's uploaded.
- Our server removes the photo's metadata, such as location, and sends it to fal.ai, which runs Google's Gemini image model to restyle your hair.
- Before you see the result, Anthropic's Claude checks its quality. If it doesn't pass, Styloom may try once more on its own. If it still doesn't pass, you get a message instead of a weak result, and that try doesn't count.
A preview usually takes about 20–30 seconds.
What the AI can and can't do
The model is asked to change your hair, but it can shift the framing or pose a little. A preview shows how a style could look on you, not exactly how it will turn out. That depends on your hair's texture and on your stylist.
The example photos across the site are AI-generated, and they're labeled that way.
Face shape
You place four lines on your own photo. The proportions are worked out in your browser and matched to one of seven shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, long and triangle. Your photo, the lines and the measurements are never sent to us. With any pack you then see your shape and the cuts that often suit it, for your hair and the time you want to spend, and can try them on your photo.
Color reading
You mark your cheek and your hair on one photo. Your skin and hair colors are read only at those two spots, and Anthropic's Claude checks only the photo's light and quality. With any pack you see your likely season out of twelve, a close second and how sure the reading is. A photo in daylight, without makeup or filters, gives the steadiest reading.
What happens to your photo
Your photo isn't stored on our servers. The copy sent to fal.ai is set to expire after 15 minutes and the result after 24 hours. Face shape work stays in your browser. Privacy has the full list.
