FUNCTIONAL HAIR SALONS par WICKEDPIXXEL
Running a beauty business in The Sims 4 has always felt a little shallow. Your Sim can own a salon, sure, but the actual styling never feels like a real job. FUNCTIONAL HAIR SALONS par WICKEDPIXXEL changes that by turning hairdressing into a full career path with students, clients, and a proper cosmetology school. If you have ever wanted your Sim to teach the next generation of stylists, this mod delivers exactly that experience.
What the Mod Adds to Your Game
At its core, FUNCTIONAL HAIR SALONS par WICKEDPIXXEL introduces a cosmetology school system. You set up a lot, designate it as generic, and place the stylist chair from Get Famous. A few computers help your students handle the research side of the course. From there, your Sim can launch a Beauty School event straight from their phone, paying 100 dollars each time they enroll in a class.
During the event you pick your Sim as the student, invite up to four hairdressing clients, and bring along at least one fellow student. The flow feels natural once you are inside it, and it gives salon work a sense of progression that the base game never offered.
Requirements and Compatibility
Expansions and Traits You Need
- Get Famous, for the stylist chair object
- Venue Changes, so your lot type behaves correctly
- The Aesthetic trait on your Sim, which the mod checks before anything works
Without the Aesthetic trait, the whole system stays dormant, so add it before you start booking clients. As for supported The Sims 4 versions, the mod works on current patched builds, and it plays nicely with most script mods as long as you keep everything updated after each game patch. Mod compatibility is generally solid, but load order and outdated dependencies are the usual culprits when something breaks.
If you would rather skip the manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the setup for you, dropping FUNCTIONAL HAIR SALONS par WICKEDPIXXEL into your Mods folder with a single click and keeping it current through automatic updates.

Tips for a Smooth Salon Experience
