The so-called “glamour” niche of the player community is ambitiously dedicated getting every detail on a character perfectly, from the shoes right up to the hairdo. Thankfully there are a variety of options to choose from when it comes to styling those locks into full fantasy form. If you’re wondering just how many there are, here’s our handy guide for how to get all Modern Aesthetics hairstyles in FFXIV.

There are countless different hairstyles in Final Fantasy XIV that players can browse while designing their character. Each playable race has their own particular set of default hairstyles, which are immediately available and require no purchase. Some are unique to a given race, while others are relatively interchangeable between multiple.

However, there are even more hairdo options that can be obtained through various methods of gameplay. Some are more rare and locked behind an alliance raid or a deep dungeon, or Island Sanctuary, while others simply can be purchased directly at various vendors in different areas. Of course, there’s also the other alternative of buying some of them from a Market Board, though they can sometimes go for hefty prices.

Whichever way you choose to go about getting your hands on the latest styles, these particular ones that aren’t available by default are known as Modern Aesthetics. Buying them gives you a voucher-type item that you then ‘Use’ from your inventory to permanently add the hairstyle to your character’s options. Simply visit any Aesthetician location (found in any Inn you stay at) to view all the ones you’ve collected (as seen above).

Below we’ve provided a list of all Modern Aesthetics hairstyles currently available in the game, how you can obtain them, and if they can be used by Viera and/or Hrothgar races. To reiterate, this only includes hairstyles that are purchased/loot dropped, not the default ones available to all characters, or those only available during former special events.

We will update this list as often as needed, when more hairstyles are added in further patches and expansions.
