FAQ — Clear, Concise, Confident
What is buzzcuts.me — and why “free forever”?
Buzzcuts.me is purpose-built AI that simulates *only* buzz cuts — with surgical accuracy and zero compromise on accessibility. “Free forever” means no credit card required, no feature downgrades, and no expiration — just continuous access to core preview functionality, always.
How do I get started — really?
No sign-up needed to test it. Upload any clear selfie → choose a style → generate → download. That’s it. Account creation is optional — only required if you want to save history or unlock Pro features.
What makes the rendering so realistic?
Our model was trained on 50,000+ annotated buzz cut images across ethnicities, ages, and hair textures. It understands jawline contours, ear shape, neck taper, and how light reflects off short hair — not just “hair + head.”
Do I need perfect lighting or a tripod?
No. Natural daylight selfies work best — but even indoor shots with decent contrast deliver reliable results. Avoid hats, sunglasses, or heavy shadows. Front-facing, neutral expression = optimal.
Which styles are available in the free plan?
All 8 foundational styles — including #0, #1, #2, crew cut, high-and-tight, Ivy League, flat top, and regulation military — plus unlimited previews (watermarked, 720p). Pro unlocks 100+ variations, fade sliders, and custom length input.
How fast is generation — and is it consistent?
Freemium: ~15–25 sec (cloud-optimized, no queue). Pro: <2 sec (dedicated inference servers). All renders are generated in-browser or via secure edge nodes — never stored or shared.
Can I use buzzcuts.me in my barbershop or salon?
Absolutely. Our Pro plan includes commercial license, white-label branding, client report PDFs, and API access — empowering professionals to integrate AI previews seamlessly into consultations and marketing.
