What is Barbr?

Barbr is an AI haircut preview app for men. Upload one selfie. Barbr reads your face shape — oval, round, square, oblong, heart — and renders any cut photoreal on your actual face. Your jawline, your skin, your hair, with the new cut on. Three ways to try a cut: pick from the built-in catalog, describe what you have in mind in plain English, or upload a reference photo from Instagram or Pinterest. Fades, tapers, buzz cuts, undercuts, crops, pompadours, quiffs, mullets, beard pairings — whatever you can name or point to. It is not a filter. It is your face with the hair. Screenshot the one you like, send it to your barber, walk in and sit down knowing exactly what to ask for. No subscription, no auto-renew. Buy a pack of tokens once through the App Store, use them when you actually want a preview. Your selfie is used once, then dropped. No account, no tracking, no data sold. iPhone only, iOS 17 or later.

Three ways to try any cut

You are not stuck with a preset menu. Pick from the built-in catalog, type what you have in mind, or upload a reference photo from Instagram or Pinterest. Barbr renders the result photoreal on your own face — not on a template model with a different jawline.

Face-shape analysis

Barbr reads your face — oval, round, square, oblong, heart — the way a good barber would, from one selfie. Use the read to filter the catalog to cuts that work with your proportions. Or ignore it and try whatever you want. It is your face.

Barber-ready share

Screenshot your pick, AirDrop it, or share straight to Messages. Any barber in the world can read a photo. That is the whole point.

Curated men’s style catalog

Every serious men’s cut is in the catalog: skin fades, mid fades, low fades, tapers, buzz, crew, undercut, textured crop, pompadour, quiff, mullet, curtains, plus beard and facial-hair pairings. No novelty filters, no costume hair.

FAQ

Isn’t this just a filter?
Your face. Not a filter. Barbr renders a photoreal image of your own face with the new hair on. Jawline intact, skin intact, lighting intact. You can hand it to your barber as an actual reference photo, not a sticker stuck on top of your selfie.
What if the cut looks bad on me?
Then don’t commit to it. That is the entire point. You try cuts photoreal on your own face, privately, before anyone else sees you in one. A preview that doesn’t work is a six-week haircut you never had to get.
How many cuts can I try?
As many as you want. Pick from the built-in catalog, describe a cut in plain English, or upload a reference photo. Each preview generation uses one token from your token pack.
Why pay when I can Google haircuts for free?
Google shows you strangers. Barbr shows you. Your own face, in the cut you actually want — whether you picked it from the catalog, typed it in, or uploaded a reference. Screenshot the one you like, walk it into the shop. That is the whole point.
What happens to my selfie?
Used once. Then dropped. Barbr processes your selfie to generate your previews and deletes the original from our service. We don’t train on it, don’t resell it, don’t hand it to anyone. Only the previews stay on your iPhone, and you control what gets kept.
Do I pay once, or is this a subscription?
Neither, and specifically not a subscription. Barbr uses token packs. Buy a pack once through the App Store. Each generation uses one token. No renewal, no auto-charge, no hidden fees. Run out? Buy another pack — or don’t.
Which hairstyles can I try?
Any men’s cut you can describe or reference. Every major style sits in the catalog (skin fades, mid fades, low fades, tapers, buzz cuts, crew cuts, undercuts, textured crops, pompadours, quiffs, mullets, curtains, beard pairings). You can also type a description in plain English, or upload a reference photo, and Barbr will render that on your face.
Can I use a reference photo from Instagram or Pinterest?
Yes. Upload the reference and Barbr renders that cut on your own face instead of handing your barber a photo of a stranger with a different jawline. Use photos you have rights to.
Can I send the preview to my barber?
That is the whole point. Screenshot your chosen preview, AirDrop it, or share it straight from the app. Walk into the shop, show the image, sit down. No more "something like this guy’s, but on me, I guess?"
Does it work if I’m bald or have a receding hairline?
Yes. Barbr previews work on full hair, thinning hair, receding hairlines, and shaved heads. It is especially useful if you are considering going shorter, shaving, or seeing what a restored hairline would look like on your face — privately, before you do anything about it in real life.
Is this hard to use?
One selfie. One tap. No sign-up, no account, no settings to figure out. If you can take a photo and screenshot a result, you can use Barbr.
iPhone only?
Yes, for now. Barbr is an iOS app built for iPhone. No Android, no iPad, no web version yet. iOS 17 or later.

Privacy

Barbr processes your selfie once to render your previews, then drops the original. No account, no tracking pixels, nothing sold, nothing trained on. Your previews stay on your iPhone.
