Haircut brothers

The haircut brothers (Japanese: さんぱつきょうだい Haircut brothers) are s in , and their remakes, , occasionally appearing in the Goldenrod Tunnel in Goldenrod City, Johto. 
As the name suggests, the brothers give a single Pokémon a haircut that increases the friendship of the Pokémon, once per day. Using the services of the brothers is useful for evolving Pokémon that require a certain amount of friendship to evolve, such as or . In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the service not only raises a Pokémon's friendship, but also raises its Beauty stat, which is necessary to evolve into , due to the absence of Pokémon Super Contests in the games.
The younger of the Haircut brothers is cheaper at 300, but his service is often less satisfactory. However, the younger brother has a chance of occasionally increasing a Pokémon's friendship to a greater degree than the older brother is capable. The older brother is more reliable but more expensive at 500.
==In the core series games==
