Idea: Stylist NPC (Possible Money sink)
genofreek
Keeping it going with a /signed! I'm generally happy with my characters' appearances because I tend to choose carefully, but one of them is a roleplay character who's constantly changing her hair color/style, and I'd be willing to sink gold into letting her do that. XD

Before I didn't care about my warrior's hair because he would always have a helmet, but with the new helms in GWEN like the Blindfold or Glasses, it would be nice to make him not look ridiculous with his flat top hair.

k I love this idea and /sign and /sign again and again...now here's another funny thing... since we're basically talking about customization of your character, why not go all the way to even your name? Just recently, I emailed anet and this is their response...
Hello,
Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team.
The ability to change the name of your characters in Guild Wars is a feature that we are considering as an addition to the game, but is not an option at this time. (The only exceptions to this are characters with names that violate our User Agreement or Rules of Conduct. Such characters must be renamed by their players with an automated name violations tool, or the character must be deleted.)
If a name-change feature is something you would like to see as part of the Guild Wars service, then we encourage you to share your suggestions on one of the many Guild Wars fansite message boards. A listing of forums and fansites can be found within the Community section of the official Guild Wars website at: http://www.guildwars.com/community/fansites/. By posting on a fansite message board, other players can comment on your ideas, concerns, and suggestions, which will allow Development Team members to monitor the feedback and gauge what the community wants to see in Guild Wars in the future. Fansite forums are an efficient way for us to obtain feedback from fans and to discern how players feel Guild Wars could be made even better.
Please contact us again if you have further questions.
Kind regards,
The Guild Wars Support Team
so since this is about customization, I think we can include name change as part of this petition yeah?

I think maybe make it it's own thread, Gatorade. Otherwise we may have people with a split vote between hairstylists and name changes, which would make it more cumbersome for Anet to sift through and try to figure out how each person voted in regards to those two topics.

Well... thid thread is long enough to let Anet this is wanted (not as wanted as worldwide inscriptions, but wanted)

Seriously, if they dont' know it's wanted by now I give up.
No wait....no I don't. /SIGNED!!!!! (again...

They're not reading, and if they are they don't care, because they look at their paychecks and say "why bother?"

I would rly want to be able to change my necro's hair i mean, i have had my necro with the same hair for 22 months and its the most bland thing its short (its a little longer then my hair in real life) and it light light blue that goes purple and im sick of it.

I Deleted my Factions ranger that had a 3 sets of 15K, a few expensive green bows customized to her (namely Urgoz's Longbow and Drago's Flatbow) just when NF came out because I fancied the new hair over the hair I had for her in Factions...
I remember having read a reply from ANet saying there's no way for them to implement a system that works on a per-player basis.
I also remember reading here on Guru, someone suggested that hair style change could possibly be implemented in the forms of "headgear" like how some festival hats replace a character's hair completely... so why is it not possible to turn those hats into hairstyles? I forgot who suggested that, but credits to her/him.
So I'm hoping to hear something about this soon... even if its bad news. I want to find out before I stupidly delete another character just to later find out that they've decided to implement the feature.

I'd definitely love to see this in the game. My elementalist has the default male hair style, and it clips with absolutely everything. Obsidian armor spikes, capes, collars, if it's near it, it clips with it. Very annoying.

Pleeease ^_^ I'd pay through the nose just to change some of my characters hairdo..
You can even keep it to that.. Hair. Nevermind the face and height or characters.

Its an excellent idea.
Of course there will be different stylists in various areas.
Normal and elite styles to match the elite armors.
The very best will have highlights of one or 2 added colours.

would make characters be more unique, and you could change them to go with your armor better.
great idea - dunno so much about the rings etc tho

That's the orst part of this suggestion. Not a word. For other they say 'we can't' or 'we won't' or 'we are working on it'. But not a single 'blah' for this.

I got couple characters that I want to change, make it grind or gold sink or whatever, the reward is purely cosmetic so theres no problem.
Tbh I was disappointed when I was told that EotN would offer character customization addition and all we got is a handful of unique head gears and individual armor pieces (Dwarven armor).
In addition, allow us to change character names (wanting to have all of my characters to have same surname). If you do that, I'll love Anet forever, seriously.

/signed for hair styles and colour
As for the rest, some of it has been done such as different head gear / dye preview. In my personal opinion I'm not keen on the idea of name changing, as it changes who your character is at a fundamental level, including how other people see you on their friends lists etc. But that doesn't mean I'd be against it... just not for it.
