Stylist

The Stylist is an NPC that can change the player's hair style and color. She also sells a variety of Hair Dyes, which apply dynamic effects to the player's hair.

Hair Dyes range in price from to. Switching to another normal hairstyle (styles #1 through #51 only) costs  / , while any other hairstyles (including all Stylist-exclusive hairstyles) cost   /  ; changing hair color costs   /.

On the, the Stylist's prices can vary depending on her Happiness; this also affects her prices for hairstyle and/or color changes, as follows: The total cost of the chosen hairstyle and/or hair color change is multiplied by her happiness-based price multiplier, and then rounded to the nearest multiple of. Thus, the cost of changing hairstyles can be -  (for basic styles) or  -  (for expensive styles); changing hair colors can range from  - ; and changing both hairstyle and hair color can range from  to.

The Stylist can be found in Spider Caves, entangled in cobweb. Talking to her will free her, after which she will move into a vacant house if one is available. As with all similar NPCs, she spawns the same as enemies – positioning oneself with a Spider Cave just off screen and then checking it once in a while for the spawn is an easy way to find her. Using a Battle Potion and running in and out of the Cave will give her a better chance of spawning.

On the when confronted by enemies, the Stylist will use Stylish Scissors to defend herself, dealing 10 /  /  damage at the start of the game, and (on the ) as players progress she will gain various stat increases. Note that scissors' knockback is enough to completly protect her from almost every ghost-like enemy. She may also drop them upon death. Note that she can only defend herself once freed, not while still webbed.

Tips

 * A Webbed Stylist can be damaged and killed by spiders (Wall Creeper in pre-Hardmode and Black Recluse in Hardmode). Finding her is therefore made simpler by looking for orange damage numbers.
 * Due to how difficult it can be to deal with Black Recluses in early Hardmode, it is recommended to find the Stylist in pre-Hardmode.

Trivia

 * The Stylist was created as a result of an official NPC design contest, being a heavily modified version of the Salonist. The original poster, TerrariaOnline poster avarisc (aka Ripsand), is credited and thanked in the 1.2.3 changelog, as well as poster Omnir for contributing several of the hairstyles.
 * Her line "" is a case of the Laundry Room Viking meme.
 * The phrase "X they said, it would be Y they said" derives from the French comic book series  (first published 1959). One of the catch phrases translated into English as "Join up, they said! It's a man's life, they said!".
 * Despite her quote of "", the Stylist will still attack enemies with her Stylish Scissors.
 * In one of her quotes, she refers to the Dye Trader as the "Dye Master."
 * In the game files, the Stylist has separate "gore" images for her head and hair. This could suggest that the stylist is actually wearing a wig.
 * As this is easily proven by one of her happiness quotes, the stylist seems to be attracted to the Dye Trader.
 * Her quote "I'm staying inside! The Einstein look is NOT in fashion." is a reference to the fact that the physicist Albert Einstein is often portrayed as having a electrified hair. This is further evidenced since the quote only happens during storms.
