Hey, thanks so much for the detailed feedback and glad you're enjoying the game!
You're absolutely right about the salon maintenance rewards. The +1 Femininity stops making sense once you're maxed out. I've put your suggestions on my todo list and I'm planning to rework laser, hair and makeup into actual upkeep mechanics instead of just stat bumps. So laser hair removal would grow back after a few weeks if you skip maintenance, extensions would need regular touchups, and the salon makeup would be a premium version that's noticeably better than what you can do at home. That way the salon stays relevant throughout the whole game instead of being a one-and-done thing.
Just a heads up that nothing is final balance-wise right now. I'm still actively tweaking stat gains, costs, decay rates and progression curves across the board. I've played plenty of games myself where progression felt way too grindy and others where everything came too fast and easy. I want to find a good mix where it feels rewarding but not tedious. Your input on what feels right really helps with that.
Thanks again for playing and for taking the time to write this up!
