Choose two contrasting references

Start with one familiar option and one different direction, such as a chin-length shape versus a shoulder-length shape. Keep the source portrait the same so your comparison concerns hair rather than pose. Looks+ lists hairstyle and color previews; use the available options to explore a question rather than collecting every variation. Save a small shortlist in your own notes and write one sentence explaining what appeals to you in each.

Separate shape from color

Describe length, fringe, parting, and volume independently from shade. You might like the outline of one preview but prefer your existing color. For example, write that you want the open forehead from the first image and the softer outline from the second. Check whether the generated picture changes facial details, earrings, or the background as well. Those changes can influence your preference even though they are not part of the haircut you are considering.

Add real-world constraints

Before an appointment, note how much daily styling time you want, whether you tie your hair back, and how often you expect to maintain the look. Bring an unedited current photograph alongside the preview. Ask the stylist which parts are feasible with your hair texture, density, length, and starting color, and what a lower-maintenance alternative would be. Do not treat a simulated shade as an exact color sample. A successful consultation ends with a shared description of the plan, not an obligation to reproduce every generated strand.

Take it with you

  • Shortlist two previews and explain what you like.
  • Discuss shape and color as separate decisions.
  • Bring the original and ask about practical upkeep.
