Hair Color & Style Advisor

Hair Color & Style Advisor

An analysis + generation skill: analyze face shape and skin tone, then recommend and preview a hairstyle and/or hair color. There is no run.py.

When to trigger

When the user wants a hairstyle/color recommendation or try-on. For hair-health diagnostics, hand off to hair-diagnostics.

Ask first (this skill has multiple generation options) and state cost

Before generating, ask the user what they want and tell them the credit cost of each:

• Restyle (change hairstyle) — hair-transfer
• Recolor (change hair color) — hair-color
• Both Get costs with python scripts/youcam_core.py cost --feature hair-transfer and --feature hair-color (plus the analysis features if you run them), tell the user, and only run what they choose.

• Facial attributes: https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/ai_face_analyzer.md
• Skin tone: https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/ai_skin_tone_analysis.md
• Restyle: https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/ai_hairstyle.md (latest may be hair-transfer v2.1)
• Recolor: https://docs.perfectcorp.com/reference/ai_hair_color.md Pass --version if newer than api-fallback.yaml.

Prerequisites

A clear, front-facing selfie that shows the hair. python scripts/youcam_core.py validate-key (0 credits); guide the user to set the key if missing.

Flow

1. Analyze (as needed): run --feature face-attr-analysis for face shape, run --feature skin-tone-analysis for colors.
2. Recommend: use references/guide.md — face shape → hairstyle silhouette, skin tone → color family.
3. Restyle (hair-transfer): style source can be a preset template or a reference photo.
   • Template: read GET /s2s//task/template/hair-transfer, then run --feature hair-transfer --src_file --param template_id=
   • Reference photo: run --feature hair-transfer --src_file --ref_file
4. Recolor (hair-color): run --feature hair-color --src_file --param preset="Honey Blonde" (or custom pattern + palettes; ombre needs blend_strength / line_offset — see the doc).
5. The generation returns a result image URL in data.results.url.

Output rules

• Return the result image URL exactly as given (hyperlink is OK; do not modify it).
• Explain the recommendation (face shape → style, skin tone → color).
• Always end with this note: "This preview image is AI-generated and for reference only; real hairstyle/color results may vary. For coloring, consult a professional stylist."
