Would I look good with a buzz cut?
There's one honest answer: it depends on the head under the hair — and you can't see that in the mirror. Upload a selfie and the AI clips it down on your own photo: same face, same skin, same glasses if you wear them. Know in twenty seconds, not three months.

The buzz cut is the one haircut you truly can't un-decide at the barbershop — so decide before you go. Run the buzz first, then compare it against a textured crop or low taper fade side by side and see which one your face actually wants.

With a buzz cut there's nowhere to hide: head shape, hairline, ears, jaw — everything reports for duty. That's why it looks stunning on some faces and unfinished on others. Here's how the odds usually fall.
| Face shape | How a buzz cut tends to read |
|---|---|
| Oval | The safest bet — balanced proportions keep it looking deliberate, not drastic. |
| Square | Often the best case: a buzz turns a strong jaw into the whole show. |
| Round | Workable with a slightly longer guard on top (#3–4) to add height; a skin-tight buzz can widen the face. |
| Long / oblong | Keep some length on top and tighter sides so the face doesn't stretch further. |
| Heart | A buzz spotlights the eyes and cheekbones — usually a win if the hairline cooperates. |
Theory is nice. Your face is nicer — run the buzz cut on your selfie and let your own eyes vote.
Buzz cuts on real faces — before & after
Every pair below is a real try-on result from this tool. Look at what survives the clippers: the bone structure, the skin tone, the glasses, the expression. That's the whole point — you're judging the haircut, not a stranger.


The big chop, previewed. Deep skin tone kept, features untouched — just the hair.


From styled to shorn. Same jaw, same brows — now you can actually compare.


Glasses stay, age stays. No de-aging filter nonsense — an honest preview.
Pick your buzz: it's not one haircut
"Buzz cut" covers everything from military-tight to soft crop. The guard number changes the whole story — try more than one.
Induction cut (#1)
Clipped to ~3 mm all over. The boldest version — scalp visible, zero styling, maximum jawline.
Burr cut (#2)
~6 mm of velvet. Still unmistakably a buzz, slightly more forgiving on head-shape quirks.
Butch cut (#3–4)
10–13 mm — reads as "very short hair" rather than "shaved". The easiest entry point.
Buzz + skin fade
Buzzed top with faded sides. Adds structure and intent; the barbershop favourite.
Buzz + beard
The classic balance move — the beard gives back the frame the clippers took away.
Bleached buzz
Buzz it, then bleach it. The fashion-week version — absolutely preview this one first.
Before you commit: the practical bits
A buzz cut is the cheapest bold haircut there is — but go in knowing three things.
It undoes itself. Hair grows about half an inch a month, so even a #1 is back to a short crop in eight to twelve weeks. The commitment is real but temporary — the preview above just saves you from being the awkward-phase person in every meeting.
Maintenance flips. You'll spend nothing on styling and five minutes a fortnight with clippers — but the neckline and ears need tidying weekly if you want it to look crisp rather than escaped-from-somewhere.
Sunscreen becomes hair product. Your scalp hasn't seen daylight in years. It will be surprised. SPF it.
Buzz cut try-on, answered
How do I know if a buzz cut would suit me?
A buzz cut is decided by what's underneath: head shape, hairline, jaw and cheekbones, because there's no length left to hide behind. Strong bone structure and an even scalp usually wear it well; a rounder or longer face just needs the right guard length. Instead of guessing in the mirror, upload a selfie above and look at the actual answer on your own face.
Is the buzz cut preview free?
Your first try-on is free with no account at all, and signing in with Google adds 30 free credits — still no card. The AI clips your hair in the photo and changes nothing else, so you're judging the buzz cut, not a stranger wearing it.
Do buzz cuts look good on women?
Often spectacular — a buzz cut moves all the attention to the eyes, cheekbones and jaw. It's also one of the boldest changes you can make, which is exactly why you should preview it on your own photo first rather than committing on faith.
How fast does a buzz cut grow back?
Hair grows roughly half an inch (about 1.25 cm) a month. A buzz cut reaches a short crop in two to three months and a workable short style within six. It's the rare bold haircut that quietly undoes itself — but it's still cheaper to preview it than to wait it out.
What should I ask the barber for?
Buzz cuts are ordered by clipper guard number: a #1 is about 3 mm (bold, scalp visible), #2 about 6 mm, #3 about 10 mm, and #4 about 13 mm — the classic 'induction' look sits at #1–2. Screenshot your favourite preview and show it to the barber; it's you, so nothing gets lost in translation.
The clippers can wait
Your first try-on is free, no card — and the face in the preview is yours, not a model's. See the buzz cut first. Decide like you've already lived with it.
