The Hairstylist NPC says you need the coupon. Perhaps it should also indicate whether or not VIP requires the coupon in its dialogue to avoid that confusion.
I don't know of another realistic way to get the 100 glossy hairs required to perform the hairstyle change without Miyabi dolls available to farm. I've collected all the other ingredients and have the Zeny as well as the coupon (and VIP). Unless Miyabi dolls are on a map that is available?
Would it be possible for there to be some way to do the hairstyle change until we get access to Amatsu? I don't mind waiting so much if it is one of the maps we're getting in two weeks, but having the coupon in the kafra shop, and the NPC available seems a bit misleading or premature if we can't make use of it.
Maybe remove the glossy hairs as a requirement for the time being.
