I know the developers have already confirmed that hair salons are coming to the game, which is really exciting. This suggestion is just an additional feature that could make those locations even more immersive.
It would be great if hair salons (and possible beauty stores in the future) could also sell hair and beauty products that Zois can purchase.
Beauty Products in Stores
Hair salons could sell items such as:
• Shampoo and conditioner
• Hair oils
• Hair masks and treatments
• Styling products (gel, mousse, hairspray)
• Hair growth products
It would also be amazing if the game eventually had beauty stores similar to Sephora where Zois could buy:
• Makeup
• Skincare
• Hair products
• Beauty tools
These items could be displayed on shelves or retail displays inside the store.
Buying Options
Zois could purchase products in different ways:
• Directly in the salon or beauty store
• Through their phone (online shopping)
• Possibly through delivery systems
Animations for Using Products
Another feature that would add realism would be animations where Zois actually use the products they buy.
Examples:
Hair care
• Applying hair oil
• Putting styling product in their hair
• Looking in the mirror while fixing their hair
Makeup
• Applying lipstick
• Touching up makeup in the mirror
• Fixing makeup before going out
These animations could work for both male and female Zois, since grooming and beauty routines apply to everyone.
Why This Would Be a Great Addition
Since hair salons are already being added, this could make them feel more like real beauty spaces instead of just service locations. It would also add more daily routine gameplay and make shopping more interactive.
