Hairstyle Showcase: A Visit to the Salon
Hello everyone, Sonia here for a new post!
In today's update, we’re excited to showcase a variety of new hairstyles suitable for all styles and ages. Please note that jobs will be a rabbit hole for early access, so this build is purely for fun and to highlight the new hairstyles! Now sit back, relax, and let’s bleach those ends!
Here’s our amazing team of hairstylists for the day! Would you trust them with your hair?
3 Parafolks working in the hair salon.
Currently, we don't have specific items for a hair salon, but with the great variety of items already available in build mode, I was able to create a space that feels like a hair salon—at least, I hope so!
A hair salon with various Parafolks discussing their dream hairstyle.

Let’s get to the root of it and take a close-up of these new hairstyles!
An asymmetric bob with a colorful and bold appearance.

Seria besteira pedir pelos cabelos das três espiãs de mais? 😬😶🌫️ Eles são lindos
Hair styles look great. I really hope that they can style their hair meaning that someone can put their hair in a ponytail, braid or hair clip. I’m sure that’s a lot more work than I think. Really exciting.
These all look beautiful (as usual). I think the long, straight hair is my favorite; it reminds me of my old Bratz dolls. Are there any plans for locced styles? I would love to see wicks, traditionals, sisterlocs, freeforms, etc. and maybe with grid pattern (square, triangle, scalloped) or stage (freshly retwisted, week 3 frizz, no visible scalp) variants !
Guys, Paralives are about to feed us real good with this game 😭🩷✨
Seeing my childhood hairstyle in a game makes me feel so warm inside! Thank you for this ❤️
Incredible diversity in the faces. Can’t wait to play around in paramaker!
The Para's and Hairstyles look great! I just had one comment on the environment and objects. I feel like the Paras and the background are too far apart in style- a texture over all the objects/walls might help it feel less "3d render".
I agree
Will there be options for non-binary folks or gender non-conforming folks? I would appreciate seeing some shags, mullets, deathhawks, etc.
Who is that Queen with the bangs? Will she be in the game?
Nice hairstyles, thanks for doing this!
I looooove the bubble braids, takes me back to my childhood for sure <3
Killed it, as usual
I agree with what others have already said - I love the diversity of the paras being shown. They all look distinct and relatable. Great job with the hair and beards. My favorites are the bubble braids, asymmetric bob, short waves, straight hair pinned with a clip, and loose side braid. But I can see myself using all of these. I forgot that there were Adam's apples in this game, great detail!
Ommgg the beard options!! I love that middle one it’s so cute!!
the short waves look so good yeeesh!
I love the hairs! I love how different they are and can’t wait to use them on the different Paras in the game!
the bubble braids are AMAZING what the heck??? i will give these to everyone, oh my. and both ponytails are gorgeous, you are on a roll!!✨
I like the bangs haircuts. Most anime hairstyles have bangs.
the waves, long hair with bangs, high pony, and bubble braids are my favs!!
The bubble braids look amazing!! 😍
Like others has said I do love how different each Para looks, even say comparing two or three white females their faces look different from each other, so you wouldn't have to go by their hair or clothes to tell them apart, unlike one game I know of. But one thing, the last thing, the jean jacket, that's not what most think of as a jean jacket, it's more like a jean vest or maybe jean jacket vest, since it has no sleeves. It kinda confused me when I read what it said and saw the photo of the " jean jacket " lol!
I love the bubble braids 😍
I absolutely LOVE how every Para looks like a real person with so many differing facial features. And the bubble braids! Omg as a black woman myself, I absolutely adore that you’re making a beautiful effort into including hair for children with afro textured hair 😭 you’re amazing
Every time you guys share a new post, I'm in awe of how unique each Para look. You guys have managed to find a way to make them all look very different while at the same time sticking to your chosen art style and aesthetic. Honestly this takes a lot of talent, and I really applaud you for that. I am very much looking forward to creating my first Paras!
The base game will be amazing I love the new hairstyles I love the long girl hair and the little girl hair
I’ve pretty much loved every para you’ve ever shared but damn… that girl with the long straight hair and choppy bangs? She better be in game bc she would be my wife in every wlw let’s play I did… obsessed with this weeks post! I love seeing all the profile images of the PAMs new assets and the little mock salon is kinda adorable… desperately hoping someone will compile all these hairs and other assets bc I just wanna scroll through and admire them all!
Oh this showcase was amazing! I love the waves, the para is definitely a heart breaker lol. And the tatted up para with the long straight hair is stunning. She seems like a total badass but very sweet at the same time. Everything that you guys have shown thus far looks incredible. Can't wait for more!
Omggg bubble braids I’m so happy with the diversity in styles and how the paras look!!!! Keep it up can’t wait for the game to come out 🩷🩷🩷
Cried when I saw the bubble braids 🥹
The hairstyles and facial hairs look great. The accessories (clip, bubble braids, ties) also fit the styles, contemporary and are realistic looking, which isn't always the case in games. Great work.
Those bubble braids are GORGEOUS. Love the diversity!!
Are these hair cuts "fixed" or can you make some changes to the "base look" in the Paramaker? I mean, I select the "middle-part hairstyle with a long braid in the back", can I choose, let's say, how long the braid is? Or if I choose the "Straight Hair pinned with a clip", can I choose, I don't know, the color of the clip? Basically what I'm asking is are hairstyles fixed (you choose A, or B, or C...) or are just a "base" and we can make some changes to it?
They're fixed, you can't modify them in the game
These all look incredible! I'm genuinely so impressed with how unique and distinct all the paras look. I'd love to see more curly hair in future (tighter than wavy hair, looser than coily hair) but I'm sure that's planned for the future
It is planned to add more curly hairstyles!
I love the wavy hair with one side shaved and the bubble braids 😍🎉
I really like the hairstyles. The man with the blond hair kind of looks like johnny zest.
I love it all. It looks so amazing. The team is really doing an amazing job 💯💪🏾
Love this!!! Do you think there will be any type of hair physics involved? Like if the parafolk move, the hair would move accordingly? Also any thoughts on hair growth? (Mooostly for facial hair but also for the head hair).
For now hair physic is only visible in the paramaker but we're working on having that work in live mode as well. As for hair growth it's not planned
Love it
I love the bubble braids so much, my mom styled my hair similarly when I was little 🥹
I particularly love those bubble braids. And looks like we can have Prince Harry in the game :D
them waves are clean, I like that 😏
Can't wait to run a hair salon in this game one day!!! Or to have one, even if it's "just" decoration 😂
Thank you for the post sonia. Always good to see that PAM is not being forgotten whilst the focus is on live mode. I am hoping for lots of hairs with similarities... so like a fringe at the front with the back in a range of different styles: updo, loose, plait/ponytail. in ts4, they allow different hairstyles with different outfits (like working out, sleeping, etc) but the hairstyles are all very different so look weird when placed together. I would love similar hairstyles for different occasions.
I agree! I ran into that problem a lot. But having “similar styles” but having it be the same length but just in a ponytail or bun would be amazing for storytelling/realism/different outfits
I know it's nothing, but do y'all realise that in the Sims we had to buy 2 $40 extension packs to get the same amount of piercings the girl with bangs has ? It's hard to not compare the two games when Paralives sets the bar so high
I can’t wait to support them anyway I can because you can tell they really care about the player and that’s priceless
These look so good!!
still not a fan of the para-aesthetic and the artstyle, as I still think the lines are too rough and they miss shading, but credit where credit is due, that barber woman with the long brown silky hair and the bangs is actually very pretty. I also think that your artstyle works better on dark-skinned paras, as the harsh lines aren't as obvious on them as on light-skinned paras. Please add some kind of shading, like in the maggie christmas video from a few years back and go easy on the artstyle. It'd make a big difference.
I agree
I love how "real" these paras look. Just like normal people I'd see every day at work rather than goofy caricatures or unrealistic Instagram baddies. Also the waves haircut is givingggggg
This reminded me of that feature in gta5 where you can go to the hairdresser and change your characters hair there, standing in the shop. I think that'd be a cool feature imo I LOVE how many different styles and personalities there are in the paras hair/clothes :)
Beautiful!
the tatted sista omgggg 😍 and lord i would’ve KILLED for those bubble braids as a kid! or not killed, probably pushed my one of my cousins or something haha
Yes please and thank you. As I say every week, continue to take my money. So excited for this game to be released!
Sooo good!!! Love this update, thank you!!
Looooove the hairstyles!! I love how much variety we get in them. Also loving the facial hairs and seeing more get added. Makes me want to give many Paras facial hair instead of leaving them baby faced lol. Big fan of the jacket too! Gotta say I love the hair salon designed for the post. It looks good!
Yesss, this is how you start out! .❤️
The hairstyles and Parafolks are truly beautiful.
I got so excited when I saw the side braid. Finally, we have representation for soon-to-be-deceased anime mothers. 😆
Does the team plan on adding more Afro/Coily and braided hairs ?
Yes! We have more planned!
I don't know how you did it, but the eyes of these characters are so alive, it's like they have souls and personalities. 😍
Oooh I really wanted a half shaved hair in the game, and here it is, and it looks so nice! I hope we can also get a bob hair which is shorter on the back, longer on the front and parted in the middle, kinda like Cleopatra's hair, with and/or without bangs :) that would look so nice!
Every time I see y’all add new hairstyles and Parafeatures it’s CHEF’S KISS!!! Thank you guys for all the hard work you put into this game!! ❤️❤️
Ohhhh y’all ate with this one 👏👏👏
I like the spiky hair a lot. Reminds me of chino Moreno of deftones, I will definitely be using that hairstyle!!
Got us looking RIGHT 💪🏾💪🏾
Waait I kinda love the dark skinned girl she's so cool and pretty
Very gorgeous
Is it just me, or do the faces look even better? Great job!!! I'm thrilled!💗💗💗
They all look so unique!
Omg this made my day!! I LOVE 😍👏🏻 Thankyou Sonia and team! You’re all so amazing ✨
