Similar new apps seen: a few

Market signals are our own judgment from late 2026 research of new app listings. They describe other apps, go out of date, and are not a promise of what you will earn. Most new apps earn little.Source: Our own research of app listings and product pages, Oct to Nov 2026

What it is

Users upload a selfie and see realistic previews of different cuts and colours. It is for people planning a big change, and for salons that want to show clients options.

Why it looks interesting

Several new hairstyle apps show good interest on both stores. The result is personal and shareable, and the need comes back each time someone thinks about a new look.

How it makes money

Credit packs or a weekly subscription, since each preview costs money to generate.

Apps to study

Watch out

Selfies are sensitive, so delete them quickly and say how long they are kept. Do not allow images of other people without consent, and avoid beauty messages that shame users.
