Stylist

The Stylist is an NPC that can change the player's hair style and color. She also sells a variety of Hair Dyes, which apply dynamic effects to the player's hair.
The Stylist can be found in Spider Caves, entangled in cobweb. Talking to her will free her, after which she will move into a vacant house if one is available. As with all found/bound NPCs, she spawns the same as enemies.
Hair Dyes range in cost from to .
Hairstyle cost:
* Normal hairstyles (styles #1 through #51 only) cost / .
* The other hairstyles (including all Stylist-exclusive hairstyles) cost / .
* Hair color costs / .
 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 .
** Changing hairstyles can range from - (for basic styles) or - (for expensive styles).
** Changing hair colors can range from - .
** Changing both hairstyle and hair color can range from to .
 When confronted by enemies, the Stylist will use Stylish Scissors to defend herself, dealing 10 / / damage at the start of the game, and as players progress she will gain various stat increases. Note that the scissors' knockback is enough to completely protect her from almost every ghost-like enemy. She may also drop them upon death. Note that she can only defend herself once freed, not while still webbed.

* Since Spider Caves were added in the 1.2 patch, the Stylist is much harder to obtain in worlds created before 1.2.
** This also applies to worlds, since Spider Caves do not generate.https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/about-not-the-bees.96607/
** Infested Spider Walls can be crafted and used for this purpose. However, one must throw these walls into Shimmer to obtain versions that allow enemy spawns. Note that regular Spider Walls cannot be used to do this because they're considered as safe walls which does not allowed to spawn NPCs, including the Stylist.
** It's impossible to obtain in worlds created before 1.2 without the use of third-party software.
== Tips ==
* Positioning oneself with a Spider Cave just off screen and then checking it once in a while for the spawn is an easy way to find her. Using a Battle Potion and running in and out of the Cave will give her a better chance of spawning.
* 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 biome (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 a usable Pylon and the Ocean much more convenient (alternatively, the Magic Conch can be used).

== 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 "" is a case of the Laundry Room Viking meme.
** The phrase "X they said, it would be Y they said" derives from the French comic book series (first published 1959). One of the catch phrases translated into English as "Join up, they said! It's a man's life, they said!".
* Despite her quote of "", 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 "", she does not sell tea nor coffee. Also, orange juice does not exist in any version of the game.
* The Stylist is attracted to the Dye Trader, however the feeling does not appear mutual:
** According to her happiness quote "". However he has no similar quote.
** She loves living near him, however he has no NPC he loves to live near, neither is she among the NPCs he likes living near.
* Her quote "" is a reference to the fact that the physicist is often portrayed as having electrified hair. This is further evidenced since the quote only happens during storms.
* As evidenced by his quote "", it's implied the Stylist has some lingering trauma from being trapped in the Spider Cave. 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.
