Idea: Stylist NPC (Possible Money sink)

Just another idea to add on and really make it a gold sink:
Have the hair colour you originally choose be your 'natural' hair colour. At the 'Stylist NPC' you can get it dyed another colour (including second tier/third tier colours), but over time it fades away back to the natural one.
This means you have to go back after a while (a week, perhaps?) and get it done again.
Maintenance? Perhaps. Gold sink? Hell yeah, baby!
/signed even if my suggestion isn't implemented

A great suggestion, Gwars is one of the ONLY Online RPs without this. Online games are about diversity and meeting new people to game around with. Expression of creativity and personalization of your character is a huge part of this. This is a no brainer. Not having this is one hexcidecimal away from being a glitch.

Oh. My. God. This is a godly idea! Ive been wanting to make my character look differant for ages but put so much time and effort into it already that I wasnt empowered to delete it and start over. This wouldnt reallyput too much load on the server and it would help ALLOT with inflation. Trust me I see all positives on this one. I wouldnt mind the cost of it. I just want my freakin hair changed. Please implement this. We coould have a tanner (changes skin color) barber (hair) and possibly a gym or pub to change the weight of your character. I love you for posting this.

For as sloppy as I am IRL, I seem to be overly concerned with vanity in my games, this suits me perfectly.

At least give me a plastic surgery! My Monk's face has been boring me or 10 months now, even though I'm still fine with the hair.

But really now what possible issue could you have against this idea?
Would it affect the core gameplay? No
Would it affect YOUR gameplay? No
Would it unbalance PvP or PvE? Really now... no lol
You sound like the same sort of person who says "Go play WoW", while your free to say /nosigned, you need to get a valid reason.
Here's an idea? Lets remove dye, all armor styles, force everyone to wear the same plain colour armor, have the same face, hair and skin tone!
Your argument is silly, A.net already have impressed their interest in this idea.
I agree with all points of view, but no flat out rejection of any idea.

I have gotten a bit bored with the stupid buns my monk has on her head! I want to shave them off...or let them down...something new! Hair stylist to change style and color(fees for each) sounds like a great idea to me. Maybe even a skin treatment(tanner makes me think of leather, sorry) to darken or lighten the characters skin. Think the rest should be left alone though. No need to get taller or change your face if you can change the details, imo.

ANet please read this!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't agree more with this idea... even if it's just for hairstyles and it's the same options that are available during character creation -- of course, extra options would be welcomed.
It makes sense from a RP perspective:
*In RL people change their hairstyle/color all the time. I restarted my ranger after around 9 months (before I knew of birthday presents, and losing my 15k armor and customized weapons -- even though I recreated the character with the same name, sex, and profession ) just because I wasn't satisfied with the hairstyle I chose.
*You could change your character according to the path it follows -- for ex. a character starts off rather "normal" looking, but then becomes a necromancer and his/her skin turns sickly white or ashen black.
*You could change your hairstyle to something fancier (applies more to female characters I suppose) for special events/ocassions such as the summer of the dragon, Wintersday, weddings, etc.
And it would create a gold sink that would not affect gameplay/balance in any way what-so-ever!

I can't think of a single reason not to implement this in a game. Give us Oblivion type character creation if you want to lock in forever....

if anet actually reads these requests, this type of thing would be implemented already...so many similar requests have been made concerning character appearances...

They need to add a name changer too. I'd like to change my names without losing my elites.
you could keep the name changes to like every 6 months if you are worried about scammer abuse.

I think its an awesome idea. It obviously needs to be controlled and kept realistic, but hair styles/colour and skin tone should be changeable! I think hair accessories etc. would be a little too much, but otherwise amen! /SIGNED! Oh, and the namechanger thing won't work, as cloning/scamming would increase WAY too much!

Simple hair stylist NPC wouldn't probably be too hard to implement. Give them all the possible hairstyles and colors to choose from, place in major towns and make it something like 1 plat to change. Please A-Net, no more silly unneeded updates, make this happen!

I support the idea, and know that it's already supported by anet game; City of Heroes
Granted you can change your entire costume, but being able to add things to make one more "unique" is always spiffy. Even if it's making your weapons/items/armor show their unique properties.

What is the good thing about a "possible money sink"?
I mean there has to be something about it for you to put it in the title.
Personally I have no problem with such a feature (but I think they should use their time on making something usefull instead). Really maybe people should play with thier Barbies or something instead.

My necro /signs in blood! It would be a GREAT addition! All those who say, "Its like the Sims", or whatever, ...no. I just made a char, picked a face I liked, after awhile, realized she had THE EXACT SAME FACE as another char I had(Thought it looked familiar...). Id hate to get to a fairly high lvl, then get tired of the hairstyle my character has. Im already tired of my lvl 10 ele's hair, and would like to change it, but would have to delete, and restart her, losing all that Ive gotten so far. I LOVE my necros hair, though, as it hides the ugly-ass scar on her face(the scars and tats suck, IMO).
Edit: I just made this character a few days ago, and look who I teamed with for "Across the Wall"
Heres a better pic, with ANOTHER person I saw in Ascalon(makes 3 of us)

Stylists would be a major steps backwards from the character appearance screen that already exists at character creation.
For example, what if someone wants to change his body size? You don't hear any talk of "body stylists". To allow hair changes but not body changes would be grossly unfair to those who want to change their body more than or instead of their hair. To allow one change whilst not allowing others would be frustating and unequitable.
The very concept of "stylists" is entirely unnecessary.
Anet simply needs to let you access that screen to make changes for characters who have already been created, whenever you want to.
All this talk of "stylists" is way more primitive and less versatile than that screen, hence to make a new "stylists system" instead of just using the better version of it which already exists, would be absolutely ridiculous.

Perfect. I need this. My Necros hair is getting boring. This would be a great thing, and I seriousley doubt it would be hard ot put in.
