Hairshop

Hairshop is a workplace support building that provides a small but broadly useful buff: it grants +1 Talent and +10% movement speed to ratizens who use it. Its effects are modest on paper, but they translate into a noticeable productivity boost because the buff benefits nearly every job without being wasted on a specific profession.

The upkeep is also easy to manage, since it only requires Tools. In practice, Hairshop is often competitive with Massage Bed and slightly stronger than Laundry, depending on the situation. By the late game, relying on Hairshop alone is about 5% more efficient on average than using Bathhouse only. For export-oriented Talent-based labor, the bonus rises to around 7%, and the effect becomes even more valuable when the building is placed near the work area those ratizens use most.

• Best used to support any workforce, since its buff is not tied to a single job type.
• Especially strong for jobs that depend on Talent, such as export-focused production chains.
• Place it close to the relevant district to reduce travel time and maximize the value of the movement speed bonus.
• Its low maintenance requirement makes it an efficient long-term morale and productivity investment.
