Hair Care Product Demand Does Not Match Hairdresser Service Demand

General
1

Hair Care Product demand is often much higher than the demand for other hairdresser services.

For example, in Midtown I had:

  • Hair Cutting: 59

  • Chemical Treatment/Coloring: 34

  • Hair Care Products: 72

  • Shampoo & Blowout: 59

  • Styling: 49

The problem is that I cannot open a store that only sells Hair Care Products. Without hairdresser chairs/service equipment, the store gets no customers.

If I add another functioning hairdresser to sell more Hair Care Products, it also reduces the demand and sales of my existing hairdressers.

So the game shows high Hair Care Product demand, but there is no good way to serve that extra demand independently.

It would be better if Hair Care Products could generate their own retail traffic, be sold in another retail business type, or have their demand balanced more closely with hairdresser services.

Just to clarify, the numbers above are the Midtown demand with one M1 hairdresser.

With two M1 hairdressers, Hair Care Product demand drops to around 50, while the other hairdressing services/products are generally around 30.

So the mismatch still remains: Hair Care Products have noticeably higher demand than the other hairdresser offerings, but there is no practical way to serve that extra demand separately without opening another hairdresser and lowering the demand again.

Hello - yes, this isn’t a bug. The hair care product is just cheaper, so it’s less volitile to demand swifts.

If you really want to, though, you can sell some in your gift shops or other shops if you really want to!
