Buzz Cut Simulator
A buzz cut is the one haircut you can't undo next week — which is exactly why you're looking for a simulator instead of just booking the chair. Take four guided photos and the scan reads your face shape and hairline, then renders buzz-length looks on your own front photo: classic buzz, crew cut, buzz with a beard, down to a full induction cut. It's an illustrative preview to settle the question with your own eyes — not a promise of the exact result.

Four guided angles in about 30 seconds — the same views every time.
Hairline · density · scalp
AI reads each angle for hairline shape, crown density, and scalp surface.
Usable · limited · low-light
Every reading shows its confidence — limited views are flagged, not guessed.

Before you commit
Honest framing beats hype: here's what a simulator genuinely helps with, and where only the clippers can answer.
That's why it's called a preview: it de-risks the decision, it doesn't make it for you.
How it works
Top, side, back, and front — about 30 seconds with on-screen guides. The front photo drives the face-shape read and the preview; the others read your hairline and density.
Your report shows visible hairline and density signals in plain language — useful context if thinning is part of why you're considering the buzz.
Recommended styles render on your own front photo. Compare a classic buzz, a crew cut, and a full induction cut side by side before picking a grade.
Save the preview and show your barber. Grade, guard number, and blend are their craft — your job was deciding the direction, and that's now done.
Questions
You take four guided photos — top, side, back, and front. The scan reads your face shape and visible hairline, then renders buzz-length styles onto your own front photo. You see the direction on your actual head, with your lighting and your features, instead of squinting at a model's photo.
Taking the photos and previewing your report is free. The full scan — your report plus try-on previews of the styles matched to you — is $2.99, one scan at a time, no subscription. Extra looks from the 48-style library use preview credits ($1.99 covers 20).
The library covers the practical range: classic buzz cut, crew cut, induction cut, low-fade buzz, stubble-length crop, buzz with a beard, and a fully shaved head. If you're deciding between grades, previewing the shortest and a middle option side by side is the fastest way to narrow it down.
Face shape is read from your front photo — oval, round, square, oblong, heart, or diamond — and it's shown with the suggestions, because a buzz removes the framing that longer hair provides. The preview lets you judge the combination yourself; nothing here scores your looks or hands down a verdict.
Yes — and you're in good company: going shorter is the most common barber suggestion when a hairline is moving back, because it evens out the contrast between thinner and fuller areas. The same photos also read your visible density and hairline signals, so you get an honest baseline of where things stand today alongside the preview.
It renders on your real photo, so face shape, skin tone, and lighting are yours. It remains an illustrative styling preview — actual results depend on your head shape under the hair, your barber, and the grade you choose. Treat it as a strong reference for the decision, not a guarantee.
Yes. Photos are processed for your report and previews only — never used to train AI, never sold, never shared for advertising.
A note on transparency
ScalpAnalysis AI reads appearance-based signals and tracks visible change over time. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
If you have pain, sudden shedding, or signs of infection, a qualified professional is the right next step.
