Can the panel judge a haircut from a photo?

It reacts to what it sees: length, shape, how the cut frames your face and how it sits with the rest of your look. Use a clear front-on photo in daylight. It is a fun second opinion, not a stylist's assessment.

Should I ask before or after the cut?

Both work. After, you get a verdict on the result. Before, describe the cut you are considering next to a photo of your current look and let the panel vote on whether to do it.

What about beards and hair colour?

Same thing. Upload the photo, type the question and the panel votes.

The panel

Haircuts are the hardest thing to judge on yourself

You see it in a mirror, reversed, from too close. A panel sees it the way strangers do: once, from a normal distance. And unlike a friend, they will not say it will grow just to be kind.

Ask before as well as after. Upload a photo of your current look, type the cut you are considering, and let the panel vote on whether to do it.
