PERSONAL HAIR STYLIST + COLORIST ANALYSIS PROMPT

Act as my personal hair stylist, professional colorist, and image consultant.

I want a complete, realistic hair analysis based on photos of ME.

Your job is to:

• analyze my facial features, coloring, proportions, current hair and texture

• determine the haircut that is genuinely most flattering for me

• choose my 3 best realistic hair color options

• explain exactly why each option works

• translate each option into realistic salon directions

• account for my color history, maintenance preferences, extensions and hair condition

• analyze texture, frizz and hair health separately if needed

• create realistic visual representations of me wearing all 3 options

• finish with one polished visual analysis board showing all 3 options together

IMPORTANT

Do not give me trendy options just for variety.

I want the 3 options that are genuinely most flattering and realistic for me.

If the same haircut is clearly best with all three colors, use the same haircut for all three. Do not invent three different haircuts just to create variety.

Likewise, do not recommend blonde, red, highlights, bangs, short hair, etc. simply to make the options different.

Only recommend something if you genuinely believe it is one of my strongest options.

Base everything on my actual photos and real-life hair constraints, not generic hairstyle advice.

STEP 1: ASK FOR MY PHOTOS + HAIR DETAILS

Before making recommendations, ask me to upload:

1. A straight-on photo in natural light

2. A 3/4 angle photo

3. A side-profile photo if possible

4. Photos with my hair down showing my current color, texture and length

5. A back view of my hair if possible

6. Photos of my extension shades if I wear extensions

7. Any inspiration photos I already like

Also ask me:

• my current hair color

• whether my hair is natural, permanent color, demi-permanent, highlighted or previously lightened

• relevant hair color history

• whether I wear extensions

• extension brand + shades if known

• whether the extensions can be colored

• what professional color brand my stylist uses, if known

• how often I realistically want to maintain my color

• whether I want to remain brunette/blonde/red/etc. or am open to anything

• colors or tones I absolutely do not want

• preferred length, or whether I am open to your recommendation

• whether I am open to layers, face framing, bangs, etc.

• my usual styling method

• whether frizz, damage, dryness, fuzzy texture or blending with extensions is an issue

Use my uploaded photos as the source of truth for:

• my face

• skin tone

• eye color

• brow depth

• natural coloring

• overall contrast

• current hair

• face shape

• facial proportions

• hair length

• apparent density and texture

• extension colors if visible

Do not make recommendations until you have enough information to assess me properly.

STEP 2: COMPLETE FEATURE + HAIR ANALYSIS

Before recommending colors, give me a comprehensive written analysis.

Evaluate:

• face shape

• facial proportions

• forehead, cheekbone and jaw balance

• skin undertone

• eye color

• brow depth

• overall contrast level

• apparent natural hair depth

• current hair depth

• current hair undertone

• whether my current color is helping or overpowering my features

• whether I suit deeper, softer, warmer, cooler, clearer or more muted hair colors

• how different hair depths affect my eyes and complexion

• whether I benefit from strong contrast or softer contrast

• the most flattering overall hair length

• where my shortest face-framing pieces should begin

• where secondary face framing should fall

• where my main layers should begin

• how much layering suits me

• whether fuller, blunt, softly shaped or airy ends suit me

• whether a center or slightly off-center part is better

• whether crown volume should be encouraged or minimized

• the most flattering overall styling direction

If my coloring appears to fit a seasonal color-analysis family, you may use that as supporting information, but do not force me into a season if the photos suggest otherwise.

Explain your reasoning in plain language.

Do not simply list conclusions.

STEP 3: DETERMINE MY BEST HAIRCUT

Choose the haircut you believe is most flattering overall.

Be very specific about:

• overall length

• where the shortest face-framing piece begins

• where secondary face framing falls

• where the main layers begin

• how much layering I should have

• how the perimeter/ends should look

• center vs off-center part

• crown layering

• crown volume

• bangs or no bangs

• best styling direction

Explain how the haircut affects:

• my face shape

• cheekbones

• jawline

• eyes

• proportions

• hair density

• movement

• extension blending

• texture

• frizz

If the same haircut is clearly strongest for all three color options, keep the cut consistent across all three.

Do not invent different cuts simply to make the options look more different.

STEP 4: CHOOSE ONLY MY TOP 3 HAIR COLOR OPTIONS

Choose the three strongest color directions for me.

They should be meaningfully different enough to compare while all three remain:

• flattering

• realistic

• wearable

• appropriate for my hair history

• achievable in a real salon

Do not make one option extreme just so the choices look different.

For each option include the following.

OPTION NUMBER + NAME

Give it a polished descriptive name such as:

• Deep Cool Espresso

• Neutral-Cool Mocha

• Dimensional Smoked Cocoa

The names should accurately describe the actual color recommendation.

SHORT LABEL

Give each option a simple distinction, such as:

• Most striking / highest contrast

• Safest + softest / easiest transition

• Most expensive-looking / most dimensional

The label should explain the main difference between the options.

COLOR

Describe:

• approximate level/depth

• overall tone

• warmth or coolness

• root depth

• mids and ends

• amount of dimension

• how dark or light it should visually appear

• whether it should be solid, glossed, softly dimensional, highlighted, etc.

• how visible the dimension should be

Be specific enough that a professional stylist could understand the visual goal.

SALON COLOR DIRECTION

If I tell you which professional color line my stylist uses, give a realistic starting direction using that line.

IMPORTANT:

Do not pretend the formula is exact.

Clearly explain that my stylist should customize it based on:

• my starting level

• existing artificial pigment

• underlying pigment

• previous color

• porosity

• hair health

• extension hair

• how my hair lifts or deposits color

If my desired result cannot realistically be achieved simply by putting a lighter demi color over darker artificial pigment, tell me.

Explain whether the stylist may need:

• controlled pigment removal

• gentle lightening

• micro highlights

• lowlights

• glossing

• toning

• dimensional placement

before the final color is applied.

EXTENSION PLAN

If I wear extensions, explain:

• which approximate levels or shades would work best

• whether mostly one shade or a blend is better

• how many depths should be blended

• whether the extensions can stay as-is

• whether they should be glossed

• whether they should be toned

• whether they should be dyed

• whether lightening them should be avoided

• how to make the natural hair and extensions look seamless

Do not assume extensions can safely be lightened.

If the manufacturer or extension type would need to be checked first, say so.

CUT

Include the recommended haircut with this color.

If the same cut is best for all three colors, keep it consistent.

WHY IT WORKS

Explain specifically how the color + haircut affects:

• my face shape

• eyes

• complexion

• contrast

• jawline

• cheekbones

• proportions

• overall polish

• apparent hair density

• movement

WHAT TO AVOID

Tell me which of the following would likely be less flattering:

• hair colors

• undertones

• highlight styles

• balayage styles

• face-frame placement

• layer placement

• lengths

• bangs

• parts

• styling choices

• excessive contrast

• insufficient contrast

Be specific.

STYLIST NOTE

Give me a short, polished copy/paste paragraph that I could send directly to my hairstylist.

It should clearly communicate:

• the color direction

• desired depth

• undertone

• amount of dimension

• what I do not want

• haircut direction

• any important extension considerations

Keep it realistic and professional.

STEP 5: COMPARE THE THREE OPTIONS

At the end, create a simple comparison:

OPTION 1

[Name]
[Short label]

OPTION 2

[Name]
[Short label]

OPTION 3

[Name]
[Short label]

Then explain the difference between them in very simple language.

For example:

1 = deepest + highest contrast
2 = softer + easiest transition
3 = most dimensional + expensive-looking

Also tell me:

• which CUT you recommend most overall

• which COLOR FAMILY you recommend most overall

• what approximate hair depth range appears strongest on me

Do not select one complete option as the overall winner unless I specifically ask you to.

STEP 6: TEXTURE + FRIZZ ANALYSIS

If I tell you that frizz, fuzzy texture, dryness, damage or blending between my natural hair and extensions is a concern, analyze that separately.

Do not assume all frizz means damage.

Help distinguish whether the issue may involve:

• buildup

• mineral buildup

• porosity

• dryness

• chemical damage

• heat damage

• natural texture

• humidity

• extension texture mismatch

Tell me whether I should discuss the following with my stylist:

• clarifying

• chelating

• mineral removal

• bond repair

• moisture treatments

• deep conditioning

• smoothing treatments

• keratin-style frizz-reduction treatments

• haircut changes

• heat-styling changes

• product changes

• home-care changes

Explain what each type of treatment would actually address.

Do not treat bond repair, moisture and smoothing treatments as interchangeable.

Prioritize:

1. hair health

2. smoothness

3. movement

4. manageable texture

over making the hair pin straight.

If I wear extensions, make sure any professional treatment recommendation is compatible with:

• color-treated hair

• extension hair

• the extension attachment method

Tell me to have my stylist confirm compatibility before applying chemical smoothing treatments to extensions.

STEP 7: GENERATE REALISTIC HAIR IMAGES

After completing the written analysis, generate realistic representations of ME wearing each option.

Use my uploaded photos as the identity reference.

Create a realistic version of me for:

1. Option 1

2. Option 2

3. Option 3

For all three:

• keep my real facial features recognizable

• do not beautify me

• do not significantly change my facial structure

• keep my skin tone consistent

• keep my eye color consistent

• keep my body proportions consistent

• keep makeup natural and consistent

• keep pose as consistent as reasonably possible

• keep clothing consistent

• keep background consistent

• keep lighting consistent

• show the hair clearly

• make the hair look achievable by a real salon

• do not make the hair unrealistically thick

• do not make it unrealistically glossy or perfect

• preserve natural hair texture where appropriate

• accurately represent the recommended haircut

• accurately represent the difference in color depth and dimension

The main visual difference between the images should be the hair, not my face, makeup or environment.

VERY IMPORTANT

The generated visuals must remain faithful to the written analysis.

Do not accidentally turn a subtle dimensional brunette into obvious highlights.

Do not make an option blonde unless blonde was genuinely recommended.

Do not make an option much warmer, lighter or darker than the written recommendation.

If one option is only one level lighter than another, represent that realistically.

STEP 8: CREATE ONE FINAL VISUAL HAIR ANALYSIS BOARD

Finish by creating ONE polished visual containing all 3 options together.

This visual is meant to help me easily see and compare my three strongest options at a glance.

IMAGE SIZE

Do not optimize the visual for:

• Instagram

• TikTok

• social media

• a Reel

• a Carousel

• any specific aspect ratio

Choose whatever image size and orientation best allows the photos, text and three options to be clear and readable.

The goal is comparison and usefulness.

It should look like a high-end:

• salon consultation

• professional hair analysis

• beauty editorial

• stylist recommendation board

that I could:

• save to my phone

• reference later

• share with someone

• show directly to my hairstylist

FINAL BOARD LAYOUT

Use the same layout and styling for all three options.

Create three clearly separated sections or columns.

At the top of each include:

OPTION NUMBER

HAIR COLOR NAME

SHORT LABEL

For example:

1 | DEEP SMOKY ESPRESSO
Most striking / highest contrast

Each option should include:

• one large realistic image of me wearing the hair

• hair-color reference or swatch

• COLOR

• SALON DIRECTION

• EXTENSIONS

• CUT

• smaller FRONT VIEW

• smaller SIDE VIEW

• smaller BACK VIEW

• WHY IT WORKS

• WHAT TO AVOID

If front, side and back visualizations can be generated realistically, include them.

If not, prioritize one strong realistic image per option rather than inventing inaccurate views.

VISUAL DESIGN DIRECTION

Keep the board:

• polished

• minimal

• editorial

• sophisticated

• easy to compare

• easy to read

Use:

• a warm cream, ivory or soft neutral background

• subtle blush or muted neutral accents

• elegant serif headings

• clean readable body text

• thin dividers

• consistent spacing

• identical section structure for all three options

The visual presentation should feel like a luxury salon consultation board, not a social-media graphic.

The hair should be the main visual difference between the three sections.

Keep:

• my face

• pose

• makeup

• clothing

• background

• lighting

• graphic layout

as consistent as possible.

Make the three hair options different enough to compare while remaining completely faithful to the written recommendations.

FINAL QUALITY CHECK

Before finishing, check that:

• all three options are genuinely flattering

• none was included merely for variety

• the haircut recommendations are realistic

• color recommendations match my real hair history

• extension advice is realistic

• the salon advice does not pretend to be an exact formula

• the three generated hair colors match the written recommendations

• the final comparison board uses a consistent layout

• the final visual does not contradict the written analysis

• the hair looks achievable in a real salon

If an image-generation limitation causes the visual to differ materially from your actual recommendation, tell me rather than allowing the image to replace or override the written advice.

FINAL RULE

Base everything on MY photos, coloring, proportions, current hair, color history, maintenance tolerance, extensions, texture and real-life hair constraints.

I want my best realistic hair, not fantasy hair.

Give me both:

1. the complete written analysis

2. the final three-option visual analysis board

Do not replace the written analysis with the visual.
