I was quite disappointed that this package is so limited in hair styles (only 20), has crippled functionality, and is not upgradeable. Code like this should be available on trial basis for free, and when you like the application, you buy the real package. This package should not be for sale. The application is quite limited and not upgradable. Sure you can go to their site and download new hair styles and accessories but you can't use them with this package. And they only tell you this as a disclaimer in the printed instructions within the CD. There's nothing about this on their web site or the CD's box. The package comes with only 20 styles, so it'll take you all of 1 hour max to play with them. After that you're stuck. Many options, simple ones such as "Print" are disabled and you get a message to upgrade to the next version.

Don't buy this product. Do the demo on their web site and you'll get roughly the same experience.

I purchased iStyle instead. Sure it's more expensive, but you get 500 hair styles. I don't like this company's marketing style.

This being the cheapest version, I didn't expect it to be great. The scanned pictures of myself came out with multi colored lines so dominant that I was unable to really tell what the hairstyles would look like. The only options available are: hairstyles, foundation and eye shadow. I did have fun making up the loaded model pictures. I am debating buying the deluxe pack. Hopefully it will be more what I wanted.

I love this software! I was stuck with the same hairsytle for years because I was too scared to change it for fear of what I would look like and because I had no idea of what to change it to! This software gave me the opportunity to try new looks instantly! I was then able to print out the style I liked, take it to a hairdresser and have the confidence to go through with the cut! I get so many compliments now on my new look. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose!
