Trainer customization has become a beloved feature in the Pokémon world, allowing players to express themselves and create a unique avatar. Starting with Pokémon Crystal, the ability to personalize your character has expanded significantly, offering a range of options from clothing to hairstyles. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the customization options are plentiful, with a variety of hairstyles and colors to choose from.
In the Alola region, you can change your haircut at any Salon. However, neither Ultra Sun nor Ultra Moon let you try out or even get a look at haircuts or hair colors before paying for the style. You’re either stuck soft resetting for the hair you want or looking at a guide much like this one here. Even at endgame, it’s annoying to unnecessarily waste Pokedollars just because you don’t like the hairstyle you picked - especially when you throw bangs into the equation.
To become a fashionista in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, you’ll need to put in some legwork. You’ll need to get your first Pokémon and play the game up until you reach Hau’oli City. Once you’ve reached the Salon, you can get a new hairstyle. However, it’s not free. To get your hair cut it will cost 4,000 Poké Dollars. To get it dyed will be 2,000 Poké Dollars. Unfortunately, there’s no preview function for hairstyles in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. You have to get your hair cut and dyed blindly and only get to see it after you’ve paid. If money is a big concern for you, you can always save your game before you try a hairstyle.
Hair Salons can be found in each town. Hair Salons are marked with a scissors icon.

Trainer customization was significantly expanded in Pokémon X and Y. Players may choose from several preset appearances during the game introduction. Players may change their hair color or cut at the Coiffure Clips salon in Lumiose City. For female players, front styling/bangs may be customized independently of the rest of player's haircut. Boutiques across Kalos sell various clothing items with a selection of hats, tops, bottoms, dresses, socks, shoes, bags, and hat accessories. The player can customize their clothing at fitting rooms which can be found in every Pokémon Center. There are also fitting rooms in the PR Video Studio and at boutiques.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, fitting rooms are also found in Alola Photo Clubs. In the Festival Plaza, the player can dye their white fashion items to different colors at dye houses.

The player may change their hair color and cut for $3,000. As with previous games, Boutiques sell a variety of clothes which the player may purchase, In addition, there are Uniform Shops in most stadiums and at Motostoke, where players can purchase sets of type-themed clothing. Players can customize their clothing at Boutiques using the fitting room, or immediately after purchasing a new clothing item. The Trainer customization screen has separate menus for tops, overwear, bottoms, dresses, socks, shoes, bags, hats, glasses, gloves, and uniforms.
Unlike previous games, individual clothing items cannot be bought separately, but are purchased as whole outfits at the Metronome Style Shop in Veilstone City.
