Hairstyle Analysis vs Style Audit: hair or outfit

Both readings work from a photo and produce visual editorial output. Hairstyle Analysis renders eight haircuts on your selfie, matched to your face shape. Style Audit reads a full-body outfit photo at four layers and names your closest archetype. Different photo, different question. Many people who want both run Hairstyle Analysis first then Style Audit later.

Short verdict

Start with Hairstyle Analysis if your question is about hair: which cut, which length, which fringe. Start with Style Audit if your question is about how your outfits read as a whole: silhouette, palette, fit, styling. They use different input photos (selfie vs full-body), so you can't run them with the same upload.

Different photo, different read

Hairstyle Analysis takes a forward-facing selfie. It reads your face shape (oval, round, square, heart, oblong, diamond, triangle) and then renders eight canonical haircuts directly on your face: bob, lob, layered, fringe, pixie, long-wavy, sleek-low-pony, and bun. The output is an editorial spread showing each cut on your selfie.

Style Audit takes a full-body outfit photo from three metres at eye level. It reads four layers (silhouette, palette, fit, styling) and names your closest archetype from five (classic, romantic, edgy, minimal, dramatic). The output is an editorial card with annotated callouts on the photograph plus wardrobe-tweak suggestions.

Different questions answered

Hairstyle Analysis answers the question 'what hair would suit me'. It's the most directly actionable reading on the site because the output is literally visual previews of cuts you can take to a salon. The face-shape diagnosis is included so you know which cut category to lean into.

Style Audit answers the question 'what is my style and what could I lift'. It's more architectural: instead of recommending specific pieces, it names the archetype and suggests how to read your outfit as a coherent style register. The tweaks are usually small and free (posture, hem length, shoe height, jewellery).

Which to start with

Most users who try both start with Hairstyle Analysis. Hair is the most visually dominant element in a personal-style portrait, and a confident haircut underwrites the rest of the styling. Hairstyle Analysis is also the faster ROI: most people book a salon appointment within a month of the reading.

Style Audit pairs well after Hairstyle Analysis because the outfit photo will read differently once the hair lands. Some users hold off on Style Audit until after a salon visit so the audit reflects their current finished look. Both readings work standalone.
