ESX Enhanced Barber - Advanced Hairstyle & Grooming System for Character Customization

Upgrade your server's barber shops with this enhanced ESX barber script featuring expanded hairstyle options, realistic grooming mechanics, and improved UI. This script transforms basic haircut menus into immersive salon experiences where players can browse extensive hairstyle catalogs, preview changes in real-time, and pay for professional grooming services. Perfect for roleplay servers emphasizing character appearance and personal style, this system adds depth to civilian businesses and player customization.

What's Included

The ESX Enhanced Barber script provides access to all GTA V hairstyles organized by category including short cuts, long styles, fades, braids, and specialty options. Players can customize hair color using RGB sliders or preset color palettes for realistic or vibrant looks. The system includes beard and facial hair options with independent styling and coloring, eyebrow customization for complete facial grooming, and real-time preview allowing players to see changes before purchasing. Integration with ESX society accounts means barber shops function as businesses generating income for owners and employees.

What Makes It Stand Out

This enhanced barber script improves upon basic haircut menus by providing an immersive salon experience with real-time preview functionality. The ability to see hairstyle and color changes before purchasing eliminates buyer's remorse and encourages experimentation with different looks. The comprehensive customization including hair, beards, eyebrows, and colors allows for complete character makeovers in one visit. The category organization makes browsing 50+ hairstyles manageable rather than overwhelming, improving user experience. Integration with ESX society accounts transforms barber shops into functional businesses where players can work as stylists earning wages, and owners profit from customer traffic. The configurable pricing allows server owners to balance appearance changes as a money sink, encouraging economic activity and supporting barber shop businesses as part of the server economy.
