SKILL/TREE

The cut you actually want, in language your stylist actually understands.

Most bad haircuts come from miscommunication: the client says "shoulder-length and natural" and the stylist hears "blunt lob with curtain bangs." This skill gives you 4 specific cut recommendations matched to your face shape × hair texture × lifestyle, each with a reference-photo prompt + paste-into-DM salon script. Plus color picks tied to your skin season + products specific to your texture. \$10, no subscription.

014 cut picks across commitment levels (refresh / medium / bold / wildcard) with specific names + reference photos ("show your stylist Daisy Edgar-Jones's 2020 lob, NOT Jennifer Aniston's Rachel")
02Face shape × hair texture matching using the full 7-shape × 12-curl-pattern matrix (not the lazy "round face → bangs" advice)
03Color picks matched to your skin season with salon-speak script ("ask for level 8 ash blonde face frame + level 9 highlights kept off the root")
04Product stack for your specific texture (shampoo / conditioner / styling / treatment) across drugstore / mid / luxury tiers
05A paste-into-DM salon script to send your stylist BEFORE the appointment so they're prepared
06The 2-3 cuts to AVOID for your face shape with the optical reason ("avoid blunt chin-length bob — your face is widest at your cheekbones")

What it does

Most people walk out of the salon with a cut they don't love — not because the stylist did bad work, but because of a translation problem. The client says "shoulder-length and natural"; the stylist hears "blunt lob with curtain bangs"; both end up frustrated. This skill closes the translation gap. Upload a selfie (or describe your face shape + hair texture in words) and get four specific cut recommendations across commitment levels (refresh / medium / bold / wildcard), each with a reference-photo prompt the stylist can actually see ("show them Daisy Edgar-Jones's 2020 lob, NOT Jennifer Aniston's Rachel") + the maintenance reality (cut every X weeks, daily styling time, week-8 grown-out look). Color picks tied to your skin season — warm honey for Spring, cool ash for Summer, rich auburn for Autumn, jet black for Winter — with salon-speak scripts ("ask for level 8 NA tonal with face-frame money pieces"). Product picks across drugstore / mid / luxury tiers tuned to your specific texture (2A wavy fine vs 4B coily dense are different conversations). The 2-3 cuts to AVOID for your face shape with the optical reason. A paste-into-DM message to send your stylist before the appointment so they're prepared. Works from a photo or a verbal description. One pair under $10, no subscription, install on Claude or ChatGPT in a single command. Saves you from the $50-200 "consultation that didn't help" + the $100-300 "cut I now regret."

Frequently asked

Why does this work better than just showing my stylist a Pinterest photo?
Pinterest gets you a vibe. This gets you specificity — your face shape, your hair texture, the maintenance reality at week 8, and the exact salon-speak ("level 7 NA tonal with face-frame money pieces"). Stylists love clients who walk in with this kind of clarity because it removes the guess-the-vibe stress.
What if I don't know my face shape or hair type?
Upload a selfie (front + profile if possible) and the skill diagnoses both with confidence levels. Or describe your features in words — forehead-vs-jaw width, curl pattern (straight / wavy / curly / coily), density. Both modes work; photo gets slightly higher confidence.
Does this work for men, non-binary, anyone?
Yes. The face shape × hair texture matrix is universal. The cut recommendations span the full spectrum — pixies to buzz cuts to high-tops to traditional longer cuts. Examples in the skill cover men's, women's, and non-binary cuts.
What about cuts I should avoid?
Every recommendation set includes 2-3 cuts to skip with the optical reason. Round face + blunt chin-length bob = the bob endpoint draws the eye to the widest part of the face. The skill explains the principle once so you remember it next time you're scrolling Pinterest.
Can it handle my postpartum thinning / chemical damage / hair history?
Yes — there's explicit refusal-and-honesty logic for these cases. Recently bleached hair gets a "wait 6 weeks + Olaplex" path BEFORE color recommendations. Postpartum thinning gets cut + product picks tuned for regrowth. Chemical damage gets a holding-pattern cut while the hair recovers.
