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 5 to 30. Switching to another normal hairstyle (styles #1 through #51 only) costs 2 / 1 , while any other hairstyles (including all Stylist-exclusive hairstyles) cost 20 / 5 ; changing hair color costs 2 / 1 .

On the  Desktop version and  Mobile version, 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 1. Thus, the cost of changing hairstyles can be 2 - 3 (for basic styles) or 15 - 30 (for expensive styles); changing hair colors can range from 2 - 3; and changing both hairstyle and hair color can range from 3 to 33.

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  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version when confronted by enemies, the Stylist will use Stylish Scissors to defend herself, dealing 10 / 15 / 17 damage at the start of the game, and (on the  Desktop version and  Mobile version) as players progress she will gain various stat increases. Note that scissors' knockback is enough to completely 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.

The Webbed Stylist is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Items sold

Note: All item prices can be decreased by equipping a Discount Card or Greedy Ring. On the  Desktop version and  Mobile version, prices can also be higher or lower based on the NPC's happiness level.

Notes

• Since Spider Caves were added in the 1.2 patch, the Stylist is impossible to obtain in worlds created before 1.2 without the use of third-party software.
  • Even though Spider Walls are craftable on the  Desktop version and  Mobile version, the crafted versions do not count as part of a Spider Cave, and thus still will not allow players to obtain the Stylist.

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.
• Once obtained, the Stylist is one of the easiest NPCs to make happy. By placing her in the Ocean, a relatively safe biome to build in once reached; alongside the Dye Trader, an easily-obtainable NPC; items can be sold to her for 126% of their usual value.
  • This also allows the Ocean Pylon to be bought, making the trip between spawn and the Ocean much more convenient.

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 "Don't go exploring with scissors, they said. You won't get trapped in a spider's web, they said!" 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 Asterix (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 "Don't go exploring with scissors, they said. You won't get trapped in a spider's web, they said!", she will attack enemies with her Stylish Scissors as soon as she is freed.
• In one of her quotes, she refers to the Dye Trader as the "Dye Master."
• Despite saying "Tea? Coffee? Or is it just orange juice again?", she doesn't sell tea nor coffee. Also, orange juice doesn't exist in any version of the game.
• The Stylist seems to be attracted to the Dye Trader, according to her happiness quote "<name of Dye Trader> the Dye Trader is quite the looker... so exotic... I think I'm in love...". However he has no similar quote so the feeling doesn't appear to be mutual.
• 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 electrified hair. This is further evidenced since the quote only happens during storms.
• 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.

• The Bestiary entry for the Stylist: "The Stylist loves style, gossip, and hair. Aside from performing a miracle makeover, she sells some hair product as well."
