Troubleshoot in a useful order
Identify where the request stopped before changing everything.
A failed result can begin with the source photo, the device connection, AI processing permission, a temporary service condition, or purchase state. Testing one layer at a time makes the cause easier to isolate and gives support more useful information if the issue continues.
01 · InputConfirm the photo passes the basic checklist
Use a sharp, front-facing portrait with the full head, hairline, and eyes visible. Remove hats and sunglasses, avoid a strong beauty filter, and choose soft neutral light.
If the app rejects one image, test a newly captured portrait rather than repeatedly cropping or editing the same unsuitable source.
Open the photo checklist →02 · ConnectionCheck whether the request can reach the service
Confirm that the device has a stable internet connection. If the request remains pending, switch once between Wi-Fi and mobile data when available, then reopen Hair Muse.
Avoid sending the same request repeatedly in quick succession. A temporary service or usage limit may need time before another attempt.
03 · PermissionReview the AI processing choice
Open Settings → AI Processing and confirm that the relevant photo or chat permission has not been withdrawn. The two permissions are separate.
When the disclosure appears again, review the data, recipient, and purpose before deciding whether to continue.
Read about processing consent →04 · AccountVerify purchase and account context
For Premium access, use the same Apple Account that completed the purchase and try Restore Purchases from the app’s Premium management area.
If an account-specific issue continues, note the sign-in method you used without sending a password, verification code, or payment credential.
Before another attempt
Change one condition, then test once.
A single controlled retry is more informative than changing the photo, connection, permission, and account at the same time. Record which change you made and whether the message or behavior changed.
