Its kinda hard to look at the same face over and over again. Everyone of us change hairstyle and/color now and then. Some add a beard..ya get the picture.

Well these ideas have been around for ages, so much so in fact the competition (not that there really is any! HA! ) is already adding (or had done so) Hair Salons to their world.
I think Anet is KEENLY AWARE or peoples desire for a high unique character
that is differentiated in as many creative ways as possible from other peoples chars.
However, it should be kept SAFE!, too much freedom and you could end up with a world filled with EXTREMELY HIDEOUS MONSTROUS disasters of creation. EG: Really lame looking chars.

Yes I took the poll too, but it can't be stressed enough that we need more individuality in GW. If GW is gonna be ignored to finish GW2 in a timely fashion, then please notice how many of us want this and make it standard in GW2 from the get-go.

We really need some big updates here.
I'ts funny how anet said "we will keep up gw servers but MAYBE we will stop updating them after a while".... they are already doing simply nothing for us since one year or so. Waaaake up!

I think that having a haircut and different hairstyles is good, and besides, even in fantasy settings, there are barbers/hairstylists, so it isn't that far from making it out of place in the world of Guild Wars

Yes this started in 2005 but the fact that it is still going strong, with people now contributing to a brand new poll is definitely showing how strongly we feel about this...

Almost anyone want this, 5 starts, over 90% positive votes, over 700 posts and existing since 2005.
Something that almost everyone agree with.

Add face changes dagnabbit! I want my proph-based chars to get reconstructive surgery and give them faction faces they weren't privy to when they were made (pre-factions). ^_^

I would like a Skin Tone NPC for my characters so I can make my Rit White so i can see his Tattooes from the armor. He black so the Tattooes are like bluish color that hard to see.

I have always wanted this as long as I have played (a little longer than the age of the post), at least the hair style/color changing part. I doubt it will ever happen, but doesn't stop me from still hoping.

Even though it has been clearly stated by Gaile that the current engine doesn't allow it.
Seriously just give us Hair-Hats, I would be happy with just that.
I wonder who those 7 are that voted no?

Been wanting this for a while now. Another thing would be to change the gender of your character. Now that shouldn't be so hard, seeing as how they did it for April Fools last year

I also don't believe it for a second. Considering all the things 3rd parties can make for fun, you're saying you can't change something in-game that you can change at the creation engine?
Complete and total garbage. Someone is lyin', either Gaile or whoever told her it wasn't doable.

If ANet wanted, they could allow the next screen too - allow us to change the name of our characters, then save.

Imagine the votes it would have if the poll was added back then.

Erm.. I post this kinda late but this is my vision for Hairstyles (and a little more )
First of all everyone should be able to go to a Hairdresser and change their hairstyle and color! Personally it should be about 5k for a new hairstyle and about the same for hair dye (if we don't want the supply and demand thing from usual dyes) . The prices can't really be any higher I think and anything much cheaper is just pathetic, you shouldn't change your hairstyle every day and it should be a money sink. All of this above has probably already been said but here comes a little add-on by me:
To further customize the looks and armor of your character:
I would like to see that you would be able to buy some sort of "update kits" to your armor. I have heard some people complain that everyone has the same armor and this should really change that if done correctly. there would be a special npc from whom you could buy several updates , hopefully unique to each armor. I'd like to see at least 3 updates to, for example, Rit elite Kurzick headpiece ( or maybe 3 updtaes to Rit elite Kurzick headpiece and other rit headpieces that look roughly the same. ) If all armor would look roughly equally good everyone must agree that armors would be much more unique.
I realize that this would mean tons of work, but maybe we can see something similar in GW2? Or this could only be applied to elite armor? It should also be very expensive to upgrade all your armor so this could be a money sink. To further evolve this it could also be applied to weapons. (maybe weapons could look different depending on the shafts, strings etc. )
erm.. yep. Hope everyone understand what I was trying to say then

I think most of us do want a hairdresser but it looks like Anet doesn't want to add it, or maybe they got more important things to do. I don't know.
So..i was thinking maybe they could make an event with a hairdresser/apperance changer, so we are able to change it but only for 1 weekend. I wouldn't even mind if it cost a few platinum

I already signed, but I think Gaile's claim that the "engine doesn't support it" is a big lie.
-We know player MODELS can be changed in an instant with tonics and whatnot.
-We know ARMOR can, obviously, be changed easily.
-We know HAIR can be hidden with various headgears, so the potential to CHANGE hair surely can be done as well?

This gets bumped about once a week, just to fall back to page 7 because everyone realizes it's not going to happen.

its not going to happen because anet is putting all there eggs in the basket that is gw2 which isn't smart. but yet everyone wants it as you can see. they realy should just leave a small team that can work on stuff to help fix up and add stuff to gw1

I have agreed with this for a long time.
Something even more radical - allow people to be able to DYE the items in their hair style to match their armor. Oh My! Could we live with that?
I have also suggested that it would bring PvE to PvP if Balth points could be spent on such changes. But, nooooooo. Obviously that kind of interaction would be heinous.

So the value for the 'new' choosen hair could be stored in another variable if the older one could not be changed.

And it'd raise even more screaming from the PvE players who don't want to have to play PvP to implement the changes they want. :P

All of my characters are somehow related and part of the same story. It would have been nice if my main (a Tyrian) could have gotten all of his family to have similar features - especially his Paragon son.
It would be nice if we could get the hair and face we want from any campaign - at least within class. Though, I remember being amused when the head of one female character goes most with armor for a class she can never wear.
genofreek
True, but I believe they have to unlock or otherwise earn those mods, don't they? Spend points earned in combat to create the weapons they want? Spend more for the 1337 5k1nz? Either way, I never have trouble finding what I need in PvE, and if I can't farm them, I can usually buy them for 2k or less. And that's assuming I can't get the setup I want for a song on some overfarmed green.
Still, I'm not arguing against a stylist/makeover dealie. I'd love to be able to fix a few things... I'd just strongly prefer not having to PvP for the changes.
