Hairstyle

Starting in, the player has the option to change their hairstyle and hair color. Prior to, it is done at Harriet's barber shop, Shampoodle. In, Shampoodle is available inside of Nookington's, meaning that the player will have to unlock Nookington's before being able to change their hairstyle. In, Shampoodle returns in the city and is located at the right side of the town, down the alleyway. In, Shampoodle again needs to be unlocked, after which it is found on the right side of Main Street above the Able Sisters. In all three games, haircuts cost 3,000 Bells, and can be done only once per day. In, the player's hairstyle and color is selected at the beginning of the game and can be changed at any time by interacting with a mirror.

In games where visiting Shampoodle is required to change the player's hairstyle, the answers to Harriet's questions will determine which hairstyle and color is received.

In, players can freely change their hair at any time after unlocking the Styling Machine. In, the player is able to customize their hair in the Tutorial and in the Settings menu.

Players can also wear wigs in order to access additional hairstyles. While technically considered a type of headgear, wigs will match the player's current hair color.

Questions
In, the questions asked by Harriet are as follows:


 * 1) Harriet: "Hmm. Now tell me, sugar, when do you want your style to REALLY come alive?"
 * 2) Harriet: "Do you like the sun? How does it make you feel? (if answered "Every day.") OR "I'll bet you're just the toast of every party, aren't you?" (if answered "Big nights!")
 * 3) Harriet will ask one of the following:
 * "If you were rushing to the salon and someone were to call to you, what would you do?" (if first answered "Every day." and then "Warm...")
 * "Are clothes important to you?" (if answered "Every day." and then "Sweaty!")
 * "If your ideal hairstyle were a song, what kind of song would it be?" (if first answered "Big nights!" and then "Well, duh!")
 * "Well, will you tell me a bit about your primping routine?" (if first answered "Big nights!" and then "Unfortunately...")

In
All hairstyles are also available for players to choose from in  and.

Opposite gender hairstyles
It is possible to receive the opposite gender's hairstyles. In, Harriet will only offer this option to players who have received all hairstyles of their own gender at least once. In and, players need to get a haircut 15 times before the option appears, but do not need to get every available style. In, opposite gender hairstyles will not be available during the initial character creation, but can later be selected after unlocking the Styling Machine.

There is no option for opposite gender hairstyles in.

In, gender is referred to as 'style' (in the English version only). Both styles are accessible to the player during character creation and onwards.

Bed head
Bed head is a messy hairstyle that appears in, , and. It occurs when the player has not played for 15 days or more, or time travels more than two weeks forward or backward. In games prior to, if the player does not replace it with a new haircut, villagers may comment on the player's hair, and it will be more difficult to pass Gracie's fashion check in. Harriet will also comment on it when the player receives a new haircut to replace the bed head. In addition, bed head will overwrite any other hairstyle the player has, but it will not change the hair color. If bed head overwrites an opposite gender hairstyle, it will become the opposite gender's bed head style.

In, since hairstyle is customizable via a mirror/vanity, bed head is temporary, being replaced immediately with the player's chosen hairstyle. This also unlocks the usage of bed head as an hairstyle option when customizing the look of the player.

Unlike all standard hairstyles, bed head is unavailable in  and.
