Questions people ask

Does it show how my hair will actually behave?

No. It shows the shape and colour, not texture or styling time. Show the picture to your stylist.

Can I try colours too?

Yes. Name the shade, such as honey blonde or deep burgundy.

Will my face change?

Spark keeps your face and changes the hair you name. Check the versions closely.

Can I make a before and after?

Yes. See the glow-up guide linked below.

Does it work for beards?

Yes. Ask for a shorter beard, a full beard or clean-shaven.
