Falador's Hairdresser

Hairstyles are a means of personalising a character's appearance. They are originally chosen when first starting the game. The Solomon's General Store update on 17 July 2012 has resulted in the most convenient way to change hairstyles through the Appearance tab of the Customisation interface.

Originally, players could only change their hairstyle by paying the hairdresser in Falador after completing the tutorial. The fee was later eliminated.

It is possible to use a dresser in the bedroom of a player-owned houses to change hairstyles and beards for free. However, the changes are rotated one-by-one at random, and the number of choices are limited by the furniture tier.

Hairstyles come in a variety of different looks, each differing based on whether the character is male or female. Players can choose from a variety of styles and facial hair to exhibit on their character.

Hairstyles are also available in a variety of colours. The primary colour affects the player's hair, facial hair and eyebrows. It also determines the colour of the edges of the buckle of Fighting boots.

Unlike override skins, hairstyles do not override the item equipped in the head slot, which means that they will display even in player-versus-player situations.

Hairstyle Interface[edit | edit source]

Players can change the style and colour of their hair through the Appearance tab of the Customisation interface. Under the Hairstyles/Beards subtab, normal default hairstyles/beards are available to be activated at any point of the game. Clicking on that will bring the player to a wide list of the hairstyles/beards available, with an orange highlight indicating the player's current style. Through this interface the player may inspect other hairstyles/beards available, without having to unequip their current headgear. Just to the right of the hairstyle/beard selection list is the colour palette with available colours that can be applied to the chosen hairstyle/beard. Players are also given an option to view the hairstyle/beard through their avatar's overworld view, or chathead view as by clicking on the helm icon top-left of the avatar view. To change to one's desired hairstyle/beard, one must click on Activate just below the avatar view.

Since the opening of the Solomon's General Store, Premium hairstyles are exclusively available for purchase with RuneCoins, and have a secondary accent colour option that comes with the purchased hairstyle. This option can be activated with the half-face like icon just right of the hair selections, in which the right-half face icon and left-half face icon represents the primary colour palette and secondary colour palette respectively. Secondary hairstyle colouring is exclusive to styles purchased from the Solomon's General Store.

At the Falador hair salon speak with the hairdresser or use the right-click method and select "Hair-Cut". This will open the hairstyle interface with which players can change and select their new hairstyles. Players must unequip any headgear or head slot items that are currently equipped to open the interface.

On the far left, there is a scroll menu displaying your options of hairstyles and beards. To the right of the category menu is another scroll menu, this time displaying the styles of hair/beards you can get. To the right of the style selection menu is the colour palette. This lets you choose what colour you want your hairstyle/beard to be.

Premium hairstyles[edit | edit source]

Premium hairstyles are unique hairstyles that allow the player to choose two colours to accentuate the style's individuality.

Hairstyles are gender-specific. Solomon's General Store offers them based on the character's gender, male or female. One may purchase either gender's hairstyles, though there is no point in doing so because only the specified gender may activate the override. If the player switches genders with a premium hairstyle in use, it will be changed to a random, non-premium hairstyle.

Male hairstyles

These hairstyles can only be activated if the player has a male-gendered character. Premium facial hair styles are also offered for purchase by male characters.

Unisex hairstyles

The "matching" style may be activated if the player has either gender character. Most of these hairstyles are included in purchases of certain specific outfits or packs.
