A live haircut camera puts the salon in your pocket. Point your camera, pick a cut, and see it on your own face in real time—bob, pixie, bangs, or buzz—as you move, talk, and turn.

The edge of a live haircut camera is motion truth. A posed selfie can flatter a bad cut; live video reveals it. Here's how to preview any cut live on the hairstyle try-on tool.
