style yourself preview beards
Sep 26, 2017 i like this functionality of being able to preview different beard styles -
Aug 8, 2020 A lot of people seem to be under the impression that this app is for controlling the groomer. NO. It's a style guide and information/education app. With the style guide, you take a selfie and it then lets you preview what different styles of beards, stubble, mustaches, and combos could potentially look like on you. The hair color matching is limited but you can get a basic idea.Just remember that getting good results takes practice, don't expect to look like the model on your first few tries. The information side of the app is typical for what you would get out of magazines and web pages.Lots of how-to's and advice on grooming and hair/skin care. Is this app essential for using your trimmer, shaver, groomer, whatever? No, but it is useful for learning the basics and best practices. Unless you're already a hair guru extraordinaire, you'll probably learn something. Four and a Half Stars. It's not much beyond a selfie app and a collection of web pages but it covers the basics well.more -
Aug 31, 2020 Only good if you've never styled/trimmed your own beard. A little clunky too i had to close the app a number of times to reset it. And if you have a beard you can't tell what style its suggesting because it shows the beard on top of your existing beard in the picture which makes it really to see what they're suggesting.more -
Works great
Apr 19, 2020 The only problem is that us old guys can’t do grey hair. :-) -
Simple and cool idea
Dec 25, 2016 I discovered this app on the side of a grooming kit and decided to give it a try. I didn't know what to expect when downloading it, but to my surprise it actually offers really cool hair styling looks techniques. You can even take a photo of your own face to see what different facial hair styles to try.more

How do they not preview black hair?
May 17, 2018 I like the concept of having an app that can be used to show what a beard would look like on a person. Kudos for making an app like this. That being said, there is one question that i cannot help but ask: why does this app not preview black beard hair? They preview brown hair, red hair, blonde hair, etc, but not black beard hair. It’s bizarre, because virtually 100% of black people have black hair, as well as a large chunk of white people and i’m willing to bet a pretty large chunk (if not all) asian people do too. Yet the app makers didn’t include previewing black facial hair. I feel ridiculous previewing my beard with brown facial hair.more -
Jun 14, 2019 Not able to load final looks. after waisting time taking pic, selecting suggestions etc ...it keeps loading the proposed looks forever and not even able to show them or reset and go back to the beginning. you have to shut down the app. don't waste your timemore -
Needs more textures
Jan 2, 2020 Saw a previous review that attempted to speak to this with a response from the developer that also missed the mark (and somewhat snide at that). The issue with this app isn’t the colors available, it’s the texture. There are plenty of men that the lone texture used would not fit (i.e, anyone non-white). Kind of untenable in the year 2020.more -
Feb 16, 2019 does not work! i upload my photo for a suggestion look but it takes forever and forever to load and will not load. i have the best internet connection and a top market phone pixel xl 2. The app is a failure. uninstalled. -
Mar 2, 2020 Let me get this straight. I have to download this app and create an account, give Phillips access to my photos, etc, so I can change the settings on my razor? What kind of moronic company puts Bluetooth in a product that doesn't need Bluetooth and forces me to provide them with login and personal information to I can use all of the features of a razor?? Think about the complexity you added to a simple product for absolutely no benefit to the consumer that only provides marketing info to youmore

Oct 19, 2018 This seems to need a lot of permissions and no guarantees about what it does with the data. -
Oct 30, 2019 It drew a beard on my beard. Seems useful only for people who have no beard

Mar 24, 2018 Not helpful when you only have black to blond choices. Some of us have gray beards. -

What’s Groovy
I think overall that the app simplifies the shaving process. I like having it pointed out to me an easier way to get the job done. The app seems fairly complete. It would be even better if there were more razors in the product list. However, I was able to find new razor in the list that I might like. I would recommend this app to anyone wishing to improve there shaving habits.

What’s Subpar
As someone who already has facial hair and is looking to change styles, there is no option to work with a bare face. If you use the camera to take a picture, it cannot remove existing facial hair.
Thankfully, it lets you upload an old picture from your phone. Unfortunately it enforces a static aspect ratio and squeezes all my pictures to be too long vertically. I’ve played with cropping pictures and it still does it. No options for me to get a bare face in the app, so it’s unusable except to look at pictures of models. I can already do that with Google.
Also the ads are too repetitive and annoying.
