Sample reading

Estima now runs as a demo. Scanning is switched off and no photographs are read. This card is built from the same tables a real scan used, so you can see exactly what Estima hands you. Pick a season and a face shape to see how the card changes.

How to cut it

oval · medium hair

Mid-length asks nothing of an oval, so the cut can follow the hair instead of correcting the face.

flat on top· a little width at the sides

Also worksMod cut· Grown-out textured crop· Slicked back, no part· Middle part with curtains· Blunt bob at the chin· Shag· Deep side part· Classic side part

SkipOne heavy blunt line at the chin· Volume piled only at the crown

How a real reading worked

Two photographs went to a model that only classified: undertone, depth, contrast, chroma, face shape and hair length, each from a closed list. The season then came from those readings through a fixed table, not from a model deciding on the spot, which is why the same photographs always gave the same season. Estima never stored the photographs.
