Here's the reason why:
IF Hairstyling wasnt RUINED with VU10, the economy would be a little healthier too. Now participants get ALL the options from the beginning (meaning NEWCOMERS)... before you had 5(or 10?) styles to choose from so if you wanted a unique look you HAD to go to a hairstyler... what would this mean?
1. Hunters would hunt for: body fat, hair(skin) color set, hairspray, hair gel etc... (they would sell for nice MU, meaning that they can break even - add a % here and there and you get better results - it's the loss of THESE little things that are making it very hard to break-even these days)
2. Hairstylist would buy them for a certain % (used to be over 250% and they were USED a lot since many beatucians were racing to have the newest UNLOCK, not like today where its at 115-130% max and very low supply)
3. A player went to a hairstylist and paid him for the service, the loot would be used up, which would mean that:
A) Hunters are happy (markup in loot)
B) Hairstylists are happy (peds made to skill for new unlocks)
C) Customer is happy (customer gets a new unique look)
D) MA is happy, because of DECAY! (this means that peds were drained meaning MA made money out of it, hunting and mining are not the same decay as this - usage of gun+ammo still results in some sort of peds returning back, using up resources for avatar customization would mean direct money in MA's pockets)
//Hypotethical Hat on//
Imagine something like this (its not exactly how it should work but a brief example):
Lets say that we have 60 hairstyles from which 10 are default and which the rest are unlocked every 2 lvls of profession.
Hairstyle 11 would be unlocked at level 12 and this hairstyle would cost 1 ped of materials.
Hairstyle 12 would be unlocked at level 14 and this hairstyle would cost 2 ped of materials.
and so on.
These peds would go straight to MA since the materials used would be the input, and the output would be the customized avatar. Basically, a player would pay MA for a customized avatar or not and can have the defaults chosen at the creation process.
//Hypotethical Hat off//
We need more little systems for "drained peds" such as these which would make MA peds (they do need to make money to run the company), and we would then maybe see better overall loot (probably not, but still could be a possibility to divert more peds back into the system).
Please do share your view on this.

PS. My skills in beauty are ALL 0. I want the economy to prosper and this would help it a little for sure.
PS2. Its only meant for Newcomers, not disallowing options in the NEW VU.
Maybe a storyline to go with it?
"Before the Earth was destroyed Omegaton Industries had stored every individuals information in Laboratories on Mars for years. This included the visuals, brain capacity and memories of the individuals. Due to a virus attack from the Robots of Akbal Cimi, the information about the visuals has been greatly damaged and the cloning was not giving out the exact results. Due to this fact Omegaton industries started cloning a default look of males and females instead of creating bodys with defects and just inserted all the persons information into this default look. Since Omegaton Industries do not have the resources and time to help every individual with their body customization, every new clone that wants to get their looks changed according to their desires need to visit private hair/body/face specialists on Calypso."
