Salon

The new salon is different from the existing day spa.

Whereas that venue is dedicated to pampering (and it remains a good place to get a mood boost), the salon is a place of business that you may enter and interact with other Sims regardless of whether you are engaged in the Stylist career.

Primary Use

For a Sim in the Stylist career, the salon is a workplace. During scheduled shifts, Stylists hang out at the salon and attend to clients who want to make changes to their personal appearances.

When potential clients enter the salon, a stylist should talk to them and then bring them to a station (either the styling station or a tattoo chair) to begin the job.

Once the client is involved, you can perform the desired makeover or tattoo within a Create a Sim–like tool.

Additional Activities

Even though the salon is a career venue, any Sim can visit it to either socialize with other Sims or receive a makeover. The salon has multiple stations for makeovers, wardrobe changes, or tattoos.

Simply interact with the new station to initiate the desired makeover. The general rule is that as long as there is at least one styling station or tattoo chair in the salon, there is one Sim to attend to it.
