What is the Side Shave Filter?
The Side Shave Filter is an online AI tool from ImageRoute. Try a side shave before you book the salon — one side shaved short with long hair swept over. Only your hair changes; your face, outfit and background stay exactly as they were. It runs on Grok Imagine, returns a result in about 15–40 seconds and uses 1 credit per image.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a side shave suit my face shape?
Upload your own photo to see it on you. The AI fits the cut to your head shape, so the preview is a realistic guide to how it would sit.
Does it change my hair colour?
No — your natural colour is kept unless you pick or type a preset that names a colour.
Can I show the result to my hairdresser?
Yes. Download it and use it as a reference photo at the salon. Many people try two or three variations first.
Is the Side Shave Filter free to use?
Creating an account is free, and you can browse the tool without charge. Generating an image uses AI image credits from a one-time credit pack — there is no subscription and credits never expire.
Do I need to sign in to use this?
Yes, you need a free ImageRoute account to generate images. This lets us queue your request and save your result to your gallery.
How long does it take?
Most side shave generations finish in about 15–40 seconds, depending on server load.
Can I choose a specific style?
Yes — pick one of the 6 presets, or type your own instruction in the style box. Leave it blank and the AI applies "Long top".
Which AI model powers this tool?
This tool runs on Grok Imagine, which handles photo-to-photo transformation while keeping your original subject recognizable.
