AI preview
See it before you sit down
Upload a photo and Tress renders the cut, colour or look on you. The same engine powers AI Studio in the business app, so a stylist can show a client the result before picking up the scissors. Previews are metered and priced from what they cost to generate, so there is no guesswork for the salon.
