— The Stylist

The Stylist is an NPC vendor who can change the player's hairstyle and hair color. She also sells a variety of Hair Dyes, which apply dynamic effects to the player's hair. She will move in once the following criteria have been met:

• There is an available vacant house.
• Rescuing her as the Webbed Stylist, who can be encountered randomly in Spider Nests in the Cavern layer. Interacting with her in this state with ⚷ Open / Activate will free her. If the Webbed Stylist is killed, she will still be able to respawn afterwards; if the Stylist NPC is killed, she will move in again after some time as long as there are vacant houses.

Hair Dyes range in price from 5 GC to 30 GC. Switching to another normal hairstyle (styles #1 through #51 only) costs 2 GC (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 1 GC (Old-gen console version), while any other hairstyles (including all Stylist-exclusive hairstyles) cost 20 GC (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 5 GC (Old-gen console version); changing hair color costs 2 GC (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 1 GC (Old-gen console version).

On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, the Stylist's prices can vary depending on her Happiness; this also affects her prices for hairstyle and/or color changes, as follows: The total cost of the chosen hairstyle and/or hair color change is multiplied by her happiness-based price multiplier, and then rounded to the nearest multiple of 1 GC. Thus, the cost of changing hairstyles can be 2 GC - 3 GC (for basic styles) or 15 GC - 30 GC (for expensive styles); changing hair colors can range from 2 GC - 3 GC; and changing both hairstyle and hair color can range from 3 GC to 33 GC.

On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version when confronted by enemies, the Stylist will use Stylish Scissors to defend herself, dealing 10 / 15 / 17 damage at the start of the game, and (on the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version) as players progress she will gain various stat increases. The Stylist also has a 1/8 (12.5%) chance of dropping the Stylish Scissors upon death. Note that she can only defend herself once freed, not while still webbed.

The Webbed Stylist is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Items sold

Note: All item prices can be decreased by equipping a Discount Card or Greedy Ring(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, prices can also be higher or lower based on the NPC's happiness level.

Shimmered Stylist

NPC	Map icon

When submerged in Shimmer, the Stylist will transform into her Shimmered form. This has no impact on gameplay or dialogue and is only a visual change. She can be returned to her classic look by submerging her in Shimmer again.

Notes

Example of proper spawn conditions for the Stylist.

• Since Spider Nests were added in the 1.2 patch, the Stylist is much harder to obtain in worlds created before 1.2.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Infested Spider Walls can be used to create an artificial Spider Nest, which will allow the Stylist to spawn. Regular Spider Walls cannot be used for this, as they are considered safe walls and will not allow the Stylist to spawn.
    • Unlike other Spider Nest spawns, the Webbed Stylist specifically requires an Infested Spider Wall to be behind an eligible block, and in the Cavern layer (except in In don't dig up(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Get fixed boi(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) seeds, where it must be the Underground layer).
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) It is impossible to artificially create a Spider Nest, therefore the Stylist cannot be obtained without the use of third-party software.

Tips

• Using a Battle Potion and/or Water Candle and running in and out of the Spider Nest will give the Webbed Stylist a better chance of spawning.
• As with all similar NPCs, she spawns the same as enemies – positioning oneself with a Spider Nest just off-screen and then checking it once in a while for the spawn is an easy way to find her.
• A Webbed Stylist can be damaged and killed by spiders (Wall Creeper in pre-Hardmode and Black Recluse in Hardmode). Finding her is therefore made simpler by looking for red damage numbers.
• Due to how difficult it can be to deal with Black Recluses in early Hardmode, it is recommended to find the Stylist in pre-Hardmode.
• Once obtained, the Stylist is one of the easiest NPCs to make happy. By placing her in the Ocean, a relatively safe biome to build in once reached; alongside the Dye Trader, an easily-obtainable NPC; items can be sold to her for 126% of their usual value.
  • This also allows the Ocean Pylon to be bought, making the trip between spawn and the Ocean much more convenient.

• Flora
• Hazel
• Iris
• Kati
• Kylie

Trivia

• The Stylist was created as a result of an official NPC design contest, being a heavily modified version of the Salonist. The original poster, TerrariaOnline poster bwdy (aka avarisc, Ripsand), is credited and thanked in the 1.2.3 changelog, as well as poster Omnir for contributing several of the hairstyles.
• Her line "Don't go exploring with scissors, they said. You won't get trapped in a spider's web, they said!" is a case of the Laundry Room Viking meme.
  • The phrase "X they said, it would be Y they said" derives from the 1959 French comic book series Asterix. One of the catchphrases translated into English as "Join up, they said! It's a man's life, they said!".
• Despite her quote of "Don't go exploring with scissors, they said. You won't get trapped in a spider's web, they said!", she will attack enemies with her Stylish Scissors as soon as she is freed.
• In one of her quotes, she refers to the Dye Trader as the "Dye Master."
• Despite saying "Tea? Coffee? Or is it just orange juice again?", she does not sell tea nor coffee. Also, orange juice does not exist in any version of the game.
• The Stylist seems to be attracted to the Dye Trader, according to her happiness quote "<name of Dye Trader> is quite the looker... so exotic... I think I'm in love...". However, he has no similar quote so the feeling does not appear to be mutual.
• Her quote "I'm staying inside! The Einstein look is NOT in fashion." is a reference to the fact that the physicist Albert Einstein is often portrayed as having electrified hair. This is further evidenced since the quote only happens during storms.
• As evidenced by her quote "Am I hearing spiders? Oh, just noisy neighbors, I don't like that." the Stylist is implied to have some lingering trauma from being trapped in the Spider Nest. Despite this, she does not dislike living in the Underground biome.

The gore pieces of her head and hair.

• In the game files, the Stylist has separate "gore" images for her head and hair.

• The Bestiary entry for the Stylist: "The Stylist loves style, gossip, and hair. Aside from performing a miracle makeover, she sells some hair product as well."
