Step 1 / 3
Take a front selfie
Look straight into the camera, face centered, hair pulled back from the face if you can. Even lighting works best.
Step 2 / 3 · optional
Now a side photo (~45°)
Turn your head slightly to one side for a second photo. The extra angle lets the AI render the hairstyle correctly from every side.

Everyone meets the buzz cut question eventually: receding hairline, a failed haircut, summer heat, or plain curiosity — would my skull actually pull this off? It is the cheapest haircut in the world to get and the slowest one to undo, which is exactly why buzz cut filters are so popular.
The problem is that social filters paste a semi-transparent stubble texture over your photo and call it a day. They ignore your real hairline, flatten your head shape and fall apart the moment you turn sideways — the three things that decide whether a buzz cut looks like a choice or an accident.
This is the serious version of the filter: the AI regenerates your photo with an actual even-clipper buzz, keeping your face, hairline and head shape exactly as they are, and shows you the result from the front, both sides and the back. One free try-on, no clippers harmed. If you like what you see, the cut itself costs twenty minutes.

Name the guard number, not a word
'Short' means nothing; a number means everything. A #1 is roughly 3mm and shows scalp, a #4 is around 13mm and reads as a proper short haircut, a #8 at 25mm is a grown-out crop. Decide the number before you sit down.

Consider one length or a taper
A true buzz is one guard all over — the simplest and most severe. A buzz with a taper or fade at the sides softens the outline and suits most face shapes better than a uniform cut.

Ask about the neckline
A squared-off neckline looks deliberate but needs upkeep; a tapered, natural neckline grows out invisibly. For a low-maintenance buzz, choose the taper.

Go longer than you think first time
Guards come off easily and do not go back on. If you are between two numbers, start with the higher one and take it down next visit.
FAQ
How is this different from the TikTok buzz cut filter?
Filters overlay a stubble texture on your selfie in real time and ignore your hairline and skull shape. This tool generates a new photorealistic image of you with the buzz, accurate from all four angles.
Will a buzz cut suit my head shape?
That is the exact question the preview answers — it keeps your real head shape and hairline instead of an idealized template. Rules of thumb about face shapes are guesses; a photo of your own buzzed head is not.
Can I preview a bald head too?
Yes — there is a fully shaved preset as well, if you want to see the step beyond the buzz before committing to it.
What clipper guard is a standard buzz cut?
The preset shows roughly a #2 guard (about 6mm) — long enough to show hair color, short enough to be honest about your hairline.
What guard number should I use?
A #1 to #2 is a true buzz that shows scalp. A #3 to #4 is the most common all-round choice — short and easy but still clearly hair. A #6 to #8 is closer to a crew cut. Preview the length above rather than guessing from a number.
Is a buzz cut good for a receding hairline?
It is usually the best option available. A buzz removes the contrast between thinning areas and thick areas, which is what makes a receding hairline conspicuous. Longer hair pushed forward draws attention to exactly the line you want de-emphasised.
What is a buzz cut with a fade?
The top stays one guard length while the sides taper down to skin. It is a sharper, more intentional-looking version than a uniform buzz, at the cost of needing re-cutting every two to three weeks.
Does a buzz cut suit a round face?
Less naturally than an angular one, because a uniform buzz follows the shape of your skull rather than adding height. A buzz with a slight fade at the sides and a marginally longer top compensates for most of it.
