Let’s say the week after it doesn’t let you, you have to completely delete your account and do it again… that is so dumb!!!! it’s just a money grab ### 1/5 — do not download *2025-06-14, version 1.2.2* it will scam you, i showed my hair and it was stuck on one page!! it also says u pay 5 pence but it charges MORE! this is scam. they show fake review on the app as well. make sure to stay safe out there. do NOT download, i repeat DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-06-13, version 1.2.2* Absolute waste of time. Just took pictures and answered questions on the app only to be told that I have to pay.

DONT WASTE MONEY *2025-04-18, version 1.0.7* The AI results were super inaccurate and this is a money grab BEWARE. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-03, version 1.2.8* Almost a year later and the app doesn’t even work anymore. If you see this review, don’t buy it and save your money for a better app. ### 1/5 — No real hairstyle or color analysis *2025-11-05, version 1.2.8* Advertising in reality are very different here. App does not provide hairstyle or color analysis based on face shape and gives you a general idea which One could figure out by just looking in the mirror. Also, a company is hard to deal with and it’s hard to navigate. ### 1/5 — money *2025-07-24, version 1.2.7* it’s advertising would make you think you’d get an ounce of info for free. but is gonna charge you 20 a year for AI advice ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2025-07-20, version 1.2.7* Absolute waste of time the whole app doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Waist of my time. *2025-07-01, version 1.2.6* Waste of my time I’m thinking “oh this is free helpful and will help me for my hair” yeah no im deleting this app ### 1/5 — Payment Required *2025-06-21, version 1.2.3* They make it seem like they will offer some basic info for free and have you upload a bunch of photos, etc. You end up not getting any analysis or results unless you pay for a membership. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2025-06-20, version 1.2.3* My screen in stuck on the thing they said my hair scan is complete and when I delete and redownload it, it does the same thing ### 1/5 — no *2025-06-18, version 1.2.3* i have gone through so many reviews and most of them have the same issue i’m having. i finish taking pictures of my hair and it just told me that my hair analysis was complete and won’t let me go on from there ### 1/5 — so expensive *2025-06-17, version 1.2.3* I was excited to find this app as it would be a solution to one of my biggest insecurities but I answered all of the questions and then they started asking for $20 a month. Not worth it in my opinion. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-06-16, version 1.2.2* Took pictures and after that got in a screen that said I finished my picture and I could never advance ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-20, version 1.2.8* No notes ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-06-19, version 1.2.3* This was so helpful to me. ### 5/5 — Great way to style *2025-04-26, version 1.0.8* Ive been trying to find resources to help me fix my hair style and this app is so helpful. Its a hidden gem right now and I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Accurate *2025-04-20, version 1.0.8* Saw it on TT knew I had to try it out. Got my hair type and analysis 100% correct. ### 5/5 — great app! *2025-04-08* helped me so much ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-03, version 1.0.4* Had it for a little while now pretty accurate ### 3/5 — app *2025-06-11, version 1.2.1* the app is not working i showed them my hair type and it was just stuck on one page ### 3/5 — Money *2025-06-09, version 1.2.0* I wish it didn't cost money. But it is a good app for all l saw before l had to pay. ### 2/5 — Not worth the money, use chatgpt *2025-08-20, version 1.2.8* It gave me some very basic information I could’ve looked in the mirror and seen for free. I after I deleted my original analysis photos I couldn’t make another one the app just kept taking me in endless circles. It didn’t build any type of routine for my hair type just a generic tiktok type of advice and tips. I’m highly unimpressed and a little upset I paid for it 😅. But to each their own it may help someone who doesn’t have the basic knowledge of hair. But u would suggest to just use ChatGPT for free and ask it any questions you have. I’ve gotten t better results from it than this app. ### 2/5 — ehh *2025-06-15, version 1.2.2* i mean it gave me my results but the fact that i have to pay is not cool. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
