— Emote Town Stylist.gif 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.

Selecting the "Hair Style" option in the Stylist's dialog opens a window where the player can choose a new hairstyle and color. The changes are immediately visible on the character for preview. Permanently applying the changes incurs a fee: switching to a different hairstyle costs 10 GC; changing hair color costs 2 GC. Hairstyle and color can be changed repeatedly and at any time.

Like with all other vendors, the Stylist's prices can vary depending on her happiness; this also affects her prices for hairstyle and color changes, as follows: The combined cost of changing hairstyle and color is multiplied by her happiness-based price multiplier, and then rounded to the nearest multiple of 1 GC.[2] Thus, the cost of changing hairstyles can be 8–15, changing hair colors can cost 2–3, and changing both hairstyle and hair color at once can range from 10 GC to 18 GC.

The Stylist will defend herself against nearby enemies with her Stylish Scissors. She deals 10 / 15 / 17 damage at the start of the game, and gains various stat boosts as the player progresses.[1] The Stylist also has a 1/8 (12.5%) chance of dropping the Stylish Scissors upon death.

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). Prices can also be higher or lower based on the NPC's happiness level.

Shimmered form

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.

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.

    • 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 is 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.
    • The Stylist, alongside the Princess, is depicted in the painting Princess StylePrincess Style.
    • 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.

    • In the game files, the Stylist has separate "gore" images for her head and hair.
    • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Stylist: "The Stylist loves style, gossip, and hair. Aside from performing a miracle makeover, she sells some hair product as well."
