So, I'm playing my acting sim, and I take her to her gig. I go to the hairdresser to get my hair and makeup, and she messes up. That's okay, everybody messes up. I redo it, and she messes up again! I tried two more times and she still messed up! So I kept trying the whole time and she finally got it right... at the end of the work day. So I failed the gig because the hairdresser kept messing up... Has this happened to anybody else? It's frustrating but funny at the same time.

Hm, I had the same hairdresser all along. She failed on a couple early gigs, but never again. So, now I wonder if there might be a hidden hairdresser-skill (or maybe they use the stylist-skill if there is any) and got better as she did her job over and over? That would be cool, but if you got a brand new stylist who never failed once, my theory has been proven wrong :)

I just started that career track myself recently and noticed the hair dresser messing up. You don't have to do them in the order they pop up. My Sim talked to the director instead and finished her gig just fine.

It almost happened to my Sim on her very first gig. The make up artist had to try 4 or 5 times before getting the make up and hairstyle right.I still had enough time to finish everything I had to do, though!But I think it's nice to have that kind of situations happen. The game is usually too perfect and easy from my point of view.

Yeah that’s an unfortunate glitch. The sim is supposed to stay in the chair even if it’s messed up not continuously get out. But yes it can be very funny even if frustrating. It’s a bug on the devs radar I’m hoping for a fix soon myself. But when I did the tasks out of order they got it right first time so maybe that helped idk.

I agree with you 100% it adds to the challenge. And what I said earlier, they can still finish their gig but don't get as much pay.

It does, and I can kind of agree with your point. It actually stopped for me after climbing up the ranks of the acting career, so I think you were right on what you said earlier. I pointed this out because in previous families where I have had actors/actresses, the hairdresser didn't mess up once, so I just found it a bit odd that they messed up as much as they did in this particular household I am playing.

I thought it was just Don Lothario... for some reason he's the makeup artist in my game.

This happened to me once. And it happened on more than one gig with this guy.

I deleted the hairdresser in manage world and got a new one who was perfect.

I think some hairdressers just are terrible, and you gotta make the chop.
