Which poodle character runs the beauty salon Shampoodle?

Which poodle character runs the beauty salon Shampoodle? Harriet. The pink poodle is the stylist who operates the salon and gives the player a new hairstyle.

Shampoodle was introduced in Animal Crossing: Wild World and returns in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Visiting Harriet allows players to change their character’s hairstyle; in New Leaf, the salon can also change the player’s hair color. Harriet’s questions help determine the final style, so the result depends on the player’s answers rather than being selected from a conventional menu.

A common mix-up is confusing Harriet with Gracie, who is a giraffe associated with fashion and furniture, or Katrina, the fortune-telling panther. Pelly is a pelican who works for the town’s civic services. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Harriet appears later at Harv’s Island, where she provides hairstyle lessons rather than operating a building called Shampoodle.
