How it works

  1. The Balaya mascot taking a selfie

    Take a selfie

    Face the light, hair back, no filter. Wearing a hijab? Keep it on: head coverings are never removed.

  2. The Balaya mascot looking amazed

    Try looks on your face

    Get your hair profile, with cuts picked for your face shape. Then try cuts and colours from the catalog, or copy a look you saw.

  3. The Balaya mascot cheering

    Show your stylist the card

    Each look has a stylist card: what to ask for, the colour technique and notes about your hair. Set a reminder for your salon visit.

Made for the salon chair

  • Your hair profile

    Face shape, undertone and texture, read from your selfie, with the colours that suit your undertone. Written by AI; your stylist knows best.

  • Curly & coily catalog

    Curly cuts, twist outs, braids and locs, in their own catalog. Your texture stays in the render unless a look changes it, like a silk press.

  • Copy a look you saw

    Saw a cut you love? Add the photo and see that hair on you. Only the hair is used.

  • Colour with layers

    Pick a base colour, then add dimension, like balayage, and a tone. See the same cut in other shades.

  • Share or save

    Save a 9:16 image to your Photos or share it with friends. Every saved image carries an AI label.

  • Your photos, your call

    You agree before your selfie is sent, and you can delete your photos any time in Profile.

Questions

How does the AI hairstyle try-on work?

Balaya works like a haircut simulator on your own face. Take a selfie and Balaya reads your face shape, undertone and hair texture. Pick a cut, a colour or both, and AI renders that hair on your photo. You can also add a photo of a cut you saw and see it on you.

Can I try bangs before I cut them?

Yes. Curtain bangs, blunt bangs, a micro fringe or curly bangs: see them on your selfie first, since bangs take months to grow out.

Can I change only my hair colour?

Yes. Keep your cut and try a new colour, from brunette and copper to blonde, with a technique like balayage and a tone on top. Your hair profile shows colours for your undertone.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-up and no password. Purchases are linked to your Apple or Google account by the store, so you can restore them on a new phone.

How much does it cost?

Your hair analysis, the hair profile from your selfie, comes before you pay. To try looks on your selfie, you need a plan (a subscription) or a one-time pack of looks. Both are bought in the app through the App Store or Google Play, and the price is shown before you pay. A subscription renews until you cancel it: how to cancel.

Will the looks still look like me?

Balaya edits only the hair and is built to keep your face and skin tone as they are. AI can still get details wrong, so treat each look as a preview, not a promise of the salon result. If a look doesn’t look like you, tap Report on the look and tell us.

What happens to my selfie?

Nothing is sent until you agree. Your selfie then goes to our AI service providers to create your hair profile and your looks. You can delete your photos any time in Profile: your selfie and hair profile are removed from your phone, and your render history from Balaya. The Privacy Policy explains what they receive and why.

Does it work on curly and coily hair?

Yes. Curly and coily hair gets its own catalog, with curly cuts, twist outs, braids and locs, and we never force a straight cut onto curls.

I wear a hijab. Can I use Balaya?

Yes. Keep it on for your selfie. Only the hair is edited, and head coverings are never removed.

Which phones does Balaya work on?

Balaya is an app for iPhone and Android phones. Get it from the App Store or Google Play.
