When you start playing Octopath Traveler 0, you get to create your own character who will explore the lands of Osterra and tell your story with friends and party members you meet along the way. This helps you feel connected to the world and lets you customize how your character looks.
Of course, no one wants to keep the same hairstyle or hair color for the entire game. Luckily, the game allows you to change your appearance later on, so you won’t be stuck with your original choices. Here’s how to update your look.
How to Unlock the Salon
First, you need to unlock the salon to change your appearance. To do this, you must raise your town level to three, which unlocks the salon as a buildable facility.
Follow the “Kindlers of the Flame” questline until it unlocks Rippletide in the Coastlands Region. Follow the quest marker and speak with Illian and Olive across the bridge. Then, go back to Wishvale and build a large house for them.
Once you’ve done that, return to Rippletide and invite both to become residents. Then, go back to Wishvale and assign them to the large house. You also need to invite a total of 15 residents to live in Wishvale if you haven’t already. When these side missions are completed and your town reaches level three, you’ll be able to build a salon in Wishvale.
What You Need to Build the Salon
To construct the salon, gather the following materials:
- 20 Lumber
- 20 Stone
- 20 Cloth
All Salon Upgrades
The salon isn’t just for changing your appearance. It can be upgraded to give you more options. When first unlocked, you can change your hairstyle and hair color. Upgrades will unlock new features:
- Rank 2: Allows you to change your character’s motions and voice. It also adds two more resident slots in the salon.
- Rank 3: Lets you fully customize your character’s look—body shape, face, eye color, and skin tone. You also unlock two new eye colors.
The salon offers a lot of customization options to keep your character looking fresh throughout the game.
