The Honey balayage result redrawn as an anime illustration in our sample workflow: same curls, dark roots with honey ends and the mustard sweater. On the site this step runs in Anime Style.
Made with GPT Image 2.5 Flare in the sample workflow Use this hairstyleUpload a recent front photo with your hairline showing, pick a scene or type the cut, press Generate image and compare. Then try another cut on the same photo.
Use a recent photo with your face straight to the camera, even light and the hair visible around your face, with no hat or hand over the hairline. A front photo keeps your face most faithful; a three-quarter photo helps when you want to judge layers at the side.
Pick Layered curls, Curly taper or Honey balayage, or type your cut in the text box: curtain bangs, long bob, keep my curls. What you type is added to the effect's instruction. If you saved a photo of a cut, add it as a second image in Image.
Press Generate image and look at the result next to your original. Switch the scene or the wording to run another cut on the same photo. The button shows the cost before you generate.
Name your texture and ask to keep it, so the new cut stays curly instead of coming out straight.
Texture and density matter as much as face shape: fine hair looks fuller with blunt ends and a full fringe, thick hair needs weight taken out with care, and curly hair needs weight to hold its shape.
Name the texture and ask for it to stay. Lines you can paste into the text box:
Curls frizz when too many layers come out. Ask for long or shoulder-length layers: in the Layered curls sample the length rises to the shoulders and the curl stays defined.
For men: curls on top at medium length and a low taper at the sides and back. On a round face, more height on top with tight sides makes the shape look longer.
Keep the cut and change only the shade: honey or copper for warm skin, ash tones for cool skin.
To change only the colour, type change only the colour to … or pick Honey balayage. The real dye job still depends on your current colour and whether you need bleach.
Check your skin in daylight with no makeup. Pink or bluish means a cool undertone; golden or peach means warm.
This scene keeps the cut and curl and moves the colour to honey balayage, natural at the root and lighter through the lengths. In the sample the roots stay dark brown and the ends turn honey blonde; face and sweater do not change.
The preview shows the effect on your face, not the formula. Your colourist decides in the consultation what your current colour allows and whether lightening comes first.
Your face shape gives a short list; run two or three of those cuts on one photo and keep the one that still looks like you.
| Face shape | Women | Men | Better to skip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oval | Nearly any cut | Short back and sides, longer top swept off the forehead | — |
| Round | Long bob, soft layered bob, side-swept bangs with height at the crown | Height on top, tight sides: pompadour, flat top | — |
| Square | Layers, textured shag, wispy or side-swept fringe | Buzz cut, French crop, quiff, close fade, side part | — |
| Heart | Blunt bangs, bob with a fringe, face-framing layers | Medium swept styles | Men: very tight cuts |
| Diamond | Curtain bangs, layers at the cheekbones | Cuts with a fringe | Men: very short sides |
| Long | Side volume, soft fringe | Moderate height, fuller sides | — |
Pull your hair back, look straight on and find your row. Treat it as a starting point, not a rule: texture and density count just as much.
With your hair back, hold a pencil level under your chin and another upright under your earlobe. A gap of 2 inches (about 5 cm) or less usually means short cuts suit you; more than that, medium to long cuts tend to work better.
Type the cut by name: textured crop with a low fade, buzz cut, quiff with a side part. Run them on the same photo and see which one still looks most like you.
Bring the before, the after and a side view with notes on length and fringe; your stylist checks texture and density.
Have these on your phone:
The preview puts length, fringe and colour in one picture and helps you explain what you want. Your stylist checks texture, density and how your hair is coloured now in person, and tells you which part of the look is doable.
Open the result in Anime Style for an illustrated profile picture with the same cut and colour.
Download the result and upload it in Anime Style: the photo becomes an anime illustration and your new hair carries over to your profile picture.
To make the avatar move, upload it as the first frame in Animate in Video and describe the motion, for example turns her head and smiles.
Only the hair in your photo: cut, length, colour or fringe. Your face, skin, clothes and background stay as they were, and you get a new image to set beside the original.
Live colour filters in beauty apps are usually free, but they only paint over the camera feed. Editors that redraw the hair give a few free tries at most. Here the button shows the cost before anything is created.
Yes. Type curtain bangs, side-swept bangs or blunt bangs on the same photo and compare. Curtain bangs often suit diamond faces; blunt bangs often suit heart-shaped ones.
Yes, and long to short is the most believable direction because hair only has to be removed. Short to long means the AI has to invent the length, which is harder. Run the 2-inch test before you book the cut.
Yes. In Image, upload your photo plus the saved cut as a second image, and write that only the hair from the second picture should be copied, not the face.

Yes. Type one of these stylist ideas: a low bun with a velvet bow, a sleek low ponytail tied with a velvet string, or a high bubble ponytail. To change the outfit too, use the AI Clothes Changer.
