Style Parlor - when can we finally change hair color?

Seraphayel · January 2020

The title basically says it all.

The Style Parlor was a very nice addition to the game (although I'd prefer a real barber that's just a bit more immersive than this) but why in the sake of Hermaeus Mora can't we change hair color in there? It's such a shame that we really need to waste a token to just get the hair color we want.

Is there any plan to add this, if not: why?

I can understand why eye color is not changeable (due to really being tied to the token) but hair color? If we can change hairstyles, please let us change hair color as well.

Because ZOS hasn't decided yet how to better monetize the heck out of it?

ZOS seems to have decided that certain races get certain hair colors, that NPCs get hair colors players don't (black-haired Altmer), and hair dye is forbidden.

I would love hair dye and the ability to make a black-haired Altmer like my Skyrim Dovahkiin.

I think it's a missed opportunity for monetization.
They easily could sell hair dye in the crown store. To be used at the nearest barber npc.
And omg would it sell.
Another way to earn crowns is to put the current styles in a pack for discount price and add some new styles.

you can, but only using the appearance change token.

Costs 1000 crowns though. If you bought crowns on sale (-40%), this would equal to 3.8 Euro.

A small advantage of this editor is, that you can preview your character using the currently equipped armor, this is helpfull especially modifying the body proportions.
Not perfect though, e.g. the legs look bigger (fatter) ingame than in the editor. I had to use/buy it 4 times to finally get my favourite toon completely optimized.

it's totally a wasted opportunity, lots of people would buy it. i am happy with my toons' hair colours but a change from time to time would be nice

If we get the option the change hair colors these are the dyes I would like to see for an in-game unlock achievement.

Color Hair Dyes: Espresso, Grayed Navy, Storm Grey, For Grey, Cloud Grey, Daisy White, Spruce, Beet, Cherry, Burgundy Wine, Eggplant, Blackberry, and Stone Blue.

This. It's already been monetized.

new hair dye kit incoming for 250 crowns...

they have probably made a calculation how much they can sell such a kit and how much revenue they will loose due to people previously buying more expensive appearance change tokens...

Nestor · January 2020

If they charged 1 or 2 dollars for a hair color change, that alone would add up to more than what appearance change revenue in total would be.

Easy enough to figure out I reckon, look at all the other stuff they have there... from adornments to racechanges, from outfit slots to personalities...

...and I would love to see that, and even better, to see any "hair dye" cosmetic items unequip if you go for a swim!

But, I also really, really would like to see "hair color unlocks" become available in the crown store, that allow people to refit cross-racial hair colors (and skin colors, and eye colors) to their characters (with an appearance change token of course)
Let us pay to play black haired altmer recruits for the veiled heritage!
Let us pay to play pasty-faced imperials that hid in a library all their life!
Let us pay to play dark skinned nords! (and wait until one makes themselves a "Hulk Hogan" nord character!)
...
Let us pay to play all kinds of color combinations, after all... that is how "halfbreeds" appear in the TES universe, racial characteristics (aka, passives) of the mother, but some traces (aka, cross-racial appearance) of the father...

And while we are at it, I also really, really would love to see "structural unlocks" that allow different character body types...
Let us pay to play taller then possible "titanbborn" nords!
Let us pay to play stouter then possible imperial matrons that make the best pasta!
Let us pay to play shorter then possible breton dwarves who drink wine and know things!
Let us pay to play more muscular then possibe orcs people wouldn't like if they got angry!
Let us pay to play fatter then possible redguard haren guards who gave up -much- for their job!
Let us pay to play tinier then possible petite dunmer assassins that can squeeze through any arrowslit!
Let us pay to play skinnier then possible necromancers that look like they -really- need a sammich right now!

I mean based on the sometimes pretty bad lighting in the character creation screen I really wish we'd have this option in game.

melriaz · January 2020

I would love such an option as well as some more colours :-)
