Lore Explanation for "Barbershop"?

Pheefs

This is a silly fun question & is really two questions in one...

1. How does this work according to Lore?
2. WHAT do we call it?

For example, we stand in front of an enchanted mirror that shows us the reflection we want to see, & an Alteration Mage makes it real.
but what do we call the Mage? Aesthetician?

I bet it'll bee Aesthetation, the Beauty School of Magic. I imagine the practice was lost towards the end of the 2nd Era, which is why TES4 characters look the way they do.

1. One would imagine the easier aspects of the barbershop (i.e tattoos, hair, jewelry) are made by hair barbers, tattoo artists and jewelers. It is possible for a man/woman to know all professions.
But for the more 'permanent' additions like the face shape, arm width and eye structure? There was a face-sculptor in Skyrim that referenced several institutions that may have studied the art--even though it may not always be trusted or in demand.

2. Well i'm not the best on names. But if we separated the changeable features into categories (like jewelry, face sculpting, hair styles) then we can just name them based on their profession. The guy who does hairstyles is called a barber, the girl who does the jewelry is called a jeweler, etc. But if one person did all of the changes at once? Maybe we should call him/her the "alterist". Or the "the Dibelllian".

Um cosmologist been around for centuries and there have been some lore wise such as the face sculptor from the Dawnguard DLC of Skyrim.

As for what it's called I'm gonna guess barber it wouldn't be lore breaking if some soldiers ask a barber to shave there head or more commonly some royally people or political people asking a barber to shape there hair and or beard for say fancy parties.

Are you lost? This is the ESO forums, where a significant portion of the playing population consider themselves TES players. We have radical lore junkies, moderate lore enthusiasts, and liberal lore appreciates.

I'm still leveling Liberal Lore Appreciate, but I'm close to the next tier.

We all remember that period of time during which everybody had potato heads.

Dark times, dark times indeed.

Also something about oblivion portals opening everywhere, who cares.

1. There is a little known Daedric Prince known as Vidal Sassoon, Lord of Vanity and Selfies. In a bid to take over all of Tamriels grooming and plastic surgery products and services, the Prince has brought back long-forgotten ancient morphing services.

2. These services are provided by the servants of Vidal Sassoon, also known as Bassoons.

How do explain the crown store then for "lore" .. It's the same concept. Certain quality of life additions have to be made for the longevity of eso.

It is like having a dream that you are no longer a Nord man but an Orc woman instead...you keep dreaming about your aesthetic look..and when you wake up next morning you see that the dream became reality.

Even tall Bosmer are midgets. Having Altmer for allies doesn't help change this impression.

I always preferred to think of them as "shrubby" myself.

How do Crown Store work in lore? How do menus work in lore? How do logging in work? Not Everything has to have a lore reason and most stuff dont.

I am a lore nerd as well but I dont think lore should hold back improvment.

But seriously. Its simple. Barbershops in citys? Magic? But to be honest I think they will just be in the Crown store

Whenever you see something like that, a wizard did it.

Because Magic. That's all.

Do you need a lore explanation for logging on to your character and double clicking the icon on your desktop as well?

Immersions broken.
