The '''haircut brothers''' are characters in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, occasionally appearing in the {{OBP|Underground Path|Goldenrod}} in [[Goldenrod City]], [[Johto]].  
[[File:Haircut brothers anime.png|thumb|250px|The Haircut Brothers in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The '''haircut brothers''' (Japanese: '''さんぱつきょうだい''' ''Haircut brothers'') are {{pkmn|groomer}}s in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[remake]]s, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, occasionally appearing in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] in [[Goldenrod City]], [[Johto]].  


As the name suggests, the brothers give a single Pokémon a haircut that increases the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon, once per day. Using the services of the brothers is useful for evolving Pokémon that require a certain amount of Happiness to evolve, such as {{p|Togepi}} or {{p|Eevee}}.

Using the services of the brothers is useful for evolving Pokémon that require a certain amount of friendship to evolve, such as {{p|Togepi}} or {{p|Eevee}}. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the service not only raises a Pokémon's friendship, but also raises its [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty]] stat, which is necessary to evolve {{p|Feebas}} into {{p|Milotic}}, due to the absence of [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in the games.


The younger of the Haircut brothers is cheaper at {{pdollar}}300, but his service is often less satisfactory. However, the younger brother has a chance of occasionally increasing a Pokémon's Happiness to a greater degree than the older brother is capable. The Older brother is more reliable but more expensive at {{pdollar}}500.

Having a haircut brother groom a Pokémon increases its [[friendship]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, grooming also increases a Pokémon's [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty]] [[Contest condition|condition]], but also increases its [[sheen]].


The brothers will raise a Pokémon's Happiness by one of three levels:
===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
* Younger brother
:''"Welcome to the <sc>Pokémon Salon</sc>! I'm the younger and less expensive of the two <sc>Haircut Brothers</sc>. I'll spiff up your <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> for just {{PDollar}}300. So? How about it?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"OK, which <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> should I do?"''

:This is approximately twice as large as the first level.

The Haircut Brothers in the anime

The haircut brothers (Japanese: さんぱつきょうだい Haircut brothers) are groomers in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and their remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, occasionally appearing in the Goldenrod Tunnel in Goldenrod City, Johto.

As the name suggests, the brothers give a single Pokémon a haircut that increases the friendship of the Pokémon, once per day. Using the services of the brothers is useful for evolving Pokémon that require a certain amount of friendship to evolve, such as Togepi or Eevee. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the service not only raises a Pokémon's friendship, but also raises its Beauty stat, which is necessary to evolve Feebas into Milotic, due to the absence of Pokémon Super Contests in the games.

The younger of the Haircut brothers is cheaper at $300, but his service is often less satisfactory. However, the younger brother has a chance of occasionally increasing a Pokémon's friendship to a greater degree than the older brother is capable. The older brother is more reliable but more expensive at $500.

In the core series games

Having a haircut brother groom a Pokémon increases its friendship. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, grooming also increases a Pokémon's Beauty condition, but also increases its sheen.
