A keen, well-balanced razor with a carved walnut handle; kept honed and oiled by the shop.

Heavy shears designed for thick hair and quick trims; preferred by Fizwizzle for mechanical hairdos.

A fragrant oil that conditions hair and gives a subtle glossy sheen for 24 hours.

Grants bonus to Charisma (appearance) checks relating to hair or grooming for 1 hour when applied.

A hand-carved ivory comb with etched gears. When run through hair, it hums and pinpoints one recent emotional memory tied to the subject's hair (joy, grief, fear, etc.).

Once per day, when used on a willing creature, reveals the strongest recent emotion associated with the person's hair or grooming (as a simple sensory impression); useful for social insight.

A polished bronze mirror rimmed with tiny clockwork motes. The reflection shimmers subtly.

Once per short rest, allows the user to cast detect thoughts (surface-level only, as a cantrip-like sense) for up to 30 seconds to perceive the subject's immediate disposition; otherwise functions as a normal mirror.

A palm-sized brass curler that puffs a gentle cloud of warm air and curls hair in minutes. Runs on a single wind-up charge (about 10 curls).

Wind-up device; can be recharged by the shop or any tinkerer. Handy for disguises and flamboyant hairstyles.

A sticky gel infused with microscopic reflective flakes; hair sparkles for 8 hours under light.

Cosmetic only, but can be used to leave a faint trail of glittering flakes (minorly detectable at 5 ft for up to 1 hour after use).

A flamboyant wig made from magically-retained multicolored fibers and tiny clockwork confetti dispensers. Designed for performers and nobles.

Once per day, the wearer can activate the wig to shower harmless confetti and flash a burst of dazzling lights (functions like the minor image cantrip for up to 1 minute for theatrical effect). Grants +2 to Performance checks while worn.

A meticulous haircut, beard trim (if applicable), scalp massage, and application of styling oil. Includes a minor clockwork flourish (a small, harmless animated hairpin) installed.

The animated hairpin acts as a cosmetic familiar: it can deliver a whispered message up to 10 ft or hold a tiny note. No mechanical combat effect.

Tiny fragrant soaps (myrrh, citrus-clockwork, pine, and rose). Sold individually or by kit.

Potions2

A small vial filled with iridescent liquid. Drink and your posture, poise, and presence sharpen.

Grants +2 to Charisma checks related to social presence and +1 temporary AC due to improved posture for 1 hour. If consumed during a short rest, grants 1 additional hit die recovery (flavour: you rest in style).

A small vial of iridescent liquid that, when consumed, causes facial hair to thicken and style itself for 24 hours.

For 24 hours, the drinker gains advantage on Persuasion checks where a mature or impressive beard/sideburns help. Additionally, once during that time the drinker may add + to a single Charisma (Intimidation or Persuasion) roll as a flourish.
Weapons1

A pair of finely balanced steel shears whose handles are inlaid with tiny chronometer cogs.

Atk When used in a snip (attack) action, grants a +1 attack bonus. Once per short rest, the wielder can use a bonus action to gain the effects of the haste spell for 1 round (only increases movement and one weapon attack; does not stack with other haste effects).
Armor1

A velvet skullcap lined with a filament weave. Perfect for disguising a dramatic haircut.

AC +1While worn, grants a bonus to Deception checks for simple disguises and gives advantage on saving throws against effects that would ruin or soil the wearer's hair/clothing for 8 hours once per day.

Shop Atmosphere

“Fizwizzle hums a clockwork lullaby while cutting hair and insists on balancing customers' hats on the shop’s brass cuckoo for good luck. He compulsively polishes every coin patrons place on his counter and will offer an unsolicited micro-portrait of any interesting beard for 1 sp.”
