Money: raise pay per haircut
Follow Start → Money I → Money II → Money III → Money IV. Each Money tier after I requires the preceding tier.
-
Money I: $24K; +50% money per haircut.
-
Money II: $400K; +100% money per haircut.
-
Money III: $4M; +150% money per haircut.
-
Money IV: $35M.
Buying Money I reveals Money II; buying Money II reveals Money III; buying Money III reveals Money IV. The $35M price is for Money IV alone, so include earlier unowned tiers in your budget.
Cutting and Customer: target the slow stage
Cutting I → Cutting II → Cutting III costs $62K → $630K → $13M. Their individual tooltip effects are +20%, +25%, and +30% Cutting Speed. Each later node requires the preceding Cutting tier.
Customer I → Customer II → Customer III costs $78K → $1.1M → $21M. Customer I targets walking speed; Customer II’s tooltip says customers walk 25% faster, and Customer III’s says 30% faster. Buy Customer I before II, then II before III.
Choose between these branches by watching the service cycle: Cutting addresses time spent on the haircut, while Customer addresses time spent walking.
Fast Rolls: shorten roll intervals
Follow Fast Rolls I → Fast Rolls II → Fast Rolls III, priced at $140K → $4M → $68M. Each later tier requires the preceding one. Both I and II have a “Rolls 10% faster” tooltip.
For a concrete interval example, with Fast Rolls I owned and a temporary ×1.5 Roll Speed boost active, purchasing Fast Rolls II reduced the displayed interval from 1.20 seconds to 1.08 seconds. Keep that temporary boost condition when comparing the example with your own interval.
Luck and its connected upgrades
The branch runs Luck I → Luck II → Luck III, with individual prices of $75K, $630K, and $14M. Luck II requires Luck I and gives +20% Roll Luck; unlocking II reveals III.
Golden Roll costs $27M and Mega Luck I costs $64M. Both connect to Luck III on the tree. Those connections identify where to find them; they are not a complete prerequisite list.
Chair: expand working capacity
Follow Chair 2 → Chair 3 → Chair 4, priced at $230K → $14M → $85M. Chair 3 requires Chair 2, and Chair 4 requires Chair 3. Chair 2 and Chair 3 unlock two and three total working slots. Continue with the slot setup instructions when you are ready to put another barber to work.
