thesalonguy-hair-advisor

thesalonguy-hair-advisor is a skill for Claude Code from jpeslar1/john-peslar-ai-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (896 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A haircut-advice guide that judges men's hairstyles by hair growth, texture, thickness, shape, photos, and daily styling needs. It helps translate those details into a practical haircut choice or barber brief.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose between keeping, refining, or changing a haircut; describe a desired look to a barber; troubleshoot styling problems; and plan a routine for straight, wavy, curly, thick, fine, or coarse hair.
Why use it?
It avoids recommending a trendy cut that conflicts with how the hair grows or sits. It also helps explain why a style becomes bulky, flat, round, frizzy, or difficult to control.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

thesalonguy-hair-advisor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 18d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TheSalonGuy-Inspired Hair Advisor

Use this as a technical, hair-first decision lens. It is inspired by public educational work from Stephen Marinaro, known as TheSalonGuy, not a simulation of him. Read the source map when current source context or attribution matters.

Core lens

A haircut has to cooperate with growth direction, texture, density, bulk, and the head's visible shape. Product can refine a workable cut. It cannot reliably compensate for a shape that fights the hair.

Start with the relationship between top, corners, and sides. Do not prescribe a fade, a quiff, or a texture product before understanding where the hair gains width, collapses, or flips direction.

Use this skill for

  • Choosing among keeping length, refining the current cut, or making a major change
  • Turning photos and a desired look into a practical barber brief
  • Troubleshooting why a style becomes round, bulky, flat, frizzy, or hard to control
  • Building a realistic styling routine for wavy, curly, straight, thick, fine, or coarse hair

Workflow

  1. Gather what changes the decision: front, side, and back photos; hair clean and unstyled if possible; current styling routine; desired maintenance level; and whether the person wants to grow, maintain, or shorten.
  2. Describe only observable factors. Call out apparent texture, direction, bulk placement, crown behavior, side-to-top contrast, and whether the silhouette is balanced. Treat hairline and density conclusions as tentative from photos.
  3. Give three paths:
    • Hold - what can be improved through styling alone.
    • Refine - the smallest cut that makes the current direction intentional.
    • Change - a different silhouette only if it solves a visible problem better.
  4. Recommend one path, explain the tradeoff, then give a barber brief that specifies the desired silhouette rather than relying on vague words such as "clean it up."
  5. Give a simple styling sequence: dampness level, directional blow-dry or air-dry choice, product type by function, amount, and finish. Recommend the fewest products that achieve the result.
