Shared hairstyles, new hairstyles and changing them

[Niqote]

The latest letter (as well as some other apparently mined pics) gives us evidence that hairstyles will be shared within the races.

F Elezen -> F Miqo'te hairstyle
M Lalafell -> M Elezen hairstyle

But I really do hope we will also be getting a range of new hairstyles, if not now then why not in future patches?

We already know the new races will have at least one new hairstyle, but other then that one each, will they simply share our already existing ones? (Which are practically all from FFXI)

In a previous life FFXIV was supposed to have a 'Barber' of sorts... (no...not the medicinal slack jaw at the Golden bazaar)
We would have the option to change our hair style and colour for a price as I remember it, will this still be implemented in game at any planned stage?
Would this include other features such as make up, war paint, scars, bindis etc?
Would this be a viable option to 'turning off' our Legacy markings or even other perhaps achievement related markings?
example:
Able to purchase ''Slash scarring'' on upper arm or leg: reward from slaying 50,000 mobs
Able to purchase ''Holy jewel Bindi": reward from slaying 20,000 undead type mobs

++This is not a 'I want pretties over teh gamplay' thread... so it's rather unproductive to say 'I'd rather they fix the gameplay' ... we already know they are fixing/changing/whatever-ing the gameplay


TL;DR: Are the current amount of hairstyles (if interchangeable between races) enough options for you? Would you like to see more options in general even if they had to be 'earned'? Would you ask that new customization be released in patches as a usual update along with new crafts/gear etc?

We understand that by adding more elements it would open up character creation even more and give rise to more possibilities. However, by adding more elements the character data packets would also increase and there is a possibility that it would greatly affect network traffic.

Keeping in mind that this game will be global, we would like to look into this very carefully, since there will be users from all over the world accessing the game.

With all of that said, we are not turning away any requests for elements you all would like, so by all means please send us your feedback.
