In Superhero Simulator by mightyraccoon! Studios, you change your hair and facial hair by visiting the in-game barber shop located on the Goldpine City map. While initial character setup lets you choose basic colors, full hairstyles and beards require spending in-game currency earned from civilian jobs.
Where to Change Hair in Superhero Simulator
Changing your hairstyle cannot be done from your hero apartment's wardrobe mirror. While the wardrobe handles hero suits, capes, masks, and civilian outfits, hair modifications are handled in the open world:
- Open your city map using the map interface key (
Tabby default). - Locate the barber shop icon marked in Goldpine City.
- Fly or travel to the storefront and interact with the barber.
- Browse available hairstyles and facial hair options in the styling mirror interface.
- Select your desired cut and color, then confirm your purchase to apply it.
Official developer posts on the Steam Community forums confirm that both hairstyles and beards are customized at the barber shop, while separate locations like the Solarium handle features such as skin adjustments.
Recorded Hairstyles, Beards, and Barber Costs
Hairstyles and beards require cash earned through your daytime jobs. Recorded gameplay sessions show prices varying significantly based on the chosen cut:
| Customization Option | Category | Observed Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slick Back | Hairstyle | $20 | Low-cost entry style; shown with brown color selection. |
| Wolverine Trim | Hairstyle | $170 | Premium superhero-themed cut. |
| Standard Styles | Hairstyle | ~$100 | General recorded price point for various mid-tier hairstyles. |
| Chunky Beard | Facial Hair | Variable | Applied alongside hair color options (e.g., matching brown). |
Players can select hair colors such as brown during the barber styling process. Keep in mind that previewing and purchasing styles triggers an in-game styling sequence at the barber's mirror.
Character Creation vs. The Barber Shop
When starting a new save file in Superhero Simulator, the initial character creator provides standard cosmetic sliders including eye color, skin tone, and hair color presets (such as black, brown, red, or gray). However, players frequently observe their hero spawning bald or with a skin-fade buzzcut when loading into the apartment for the first time.
To obtain full, defined hairstyles, you must complete the opening tutorial sequence and head out into Goldpine City to purchase your hair at the barber shop.
Earning Money for Haircuts and Daily Living
Cosmetic spending at the barber competes directly with your character's living expenses. Your hero receives eviction notices from Miss E. Victoria requiring $300 for rent every 5 days.
To fund both your grooming and your apartment rent:
- Taxi Driver Job: Unlocked early through your phone, paying between roughly $90 and $260+ per shift across three passenger drop-offs.
- Goldburger Chef Job: Unlocked around level 23, allowing you to earn upwards of $1,500 to $1,700 per shift assembling patties, cheese, and lettuce under time limits.
Maintaining high hygiene through showers and resting in your apartment ensures your hero stays functional while grinding the cash needed for both rent and fresh trims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you change your hair color at the barber shop?
Yes. When choosing a hairstyle like the slick back, the interface allows you to pick a color, such as brown, before confirming the purchase.
Why is my character bald at the start of the game?
Even if you pick a hair color during character creation, the initial apartment sequence often defaults the hero to a bald or bare look. You must visit the barber in Goldpine City to purchase an actual hairstyle.
Do haircuts unlock with hero levels?
Hero levels primarily unlock superpowers (such as heat vision at level 29), jobs (such as Goldburger at level 23), suits, and masks. Hairstyles are unlocked and purchased directly with in-game money at the barber shop.
