Small Business Missed Opportunity (Salon chair from GF used for BH)

You know those makeover chairs that were introduced in the fame expansion pack? Is there a way to make it a "paid service" for the "business and hobbies" pack? I'd love to create a salon to save same the randomly generated victims of custom content townies, but not for free. 

I know there are a few mods out for it, but i feel like this is best fixed by devs (so that there's no mod conflicts/bugs)

    Ok. This is what it looks like. GTW Retail Salon. Mods removed. Shop is not even open, so GTW retail aspect is not necessary. Definitely would work as a Small Business with kiosk. Add some other activities to keep customers busy while you search out townies to makeover and it's very doable.

    Click on chair.

    Select Sim to offer makeover and go find them.

    Start makeover.

    CAS looks like this.

    Click on the Sim and the outfit, accessories and makeup categories appear. 

    Absolutely going to change my salon from a GTW retail shop to a B&H small business venue.

    You can't get directly paid for makeovers using the GF makeup chair, but you can definitely have a salon as a small business and offer customers make overs on the makeup chair. To make it pay add a kiosk with either an hourly or one time fee.

    I've long had a GTW retail salon. Had a few things for sale and couple of employees, but mostly the owner gave NPC's makeovers using the GF makeup chair. It wasn't a big money maker, but it satisfied my need to make over townies. The owner is a Style Influencer - base game.

    Haven't played lately, but if I remember correctly, you can click on the chair and offer any Sim in range a makeover - even if they're just in the neighborhood. 

    You end up in CAS over and over again, but you also do if you edit townies in Household Management.
