The Mid-Run Fade

Dungeon Delvers Discover Working Barbershop Inside the City of Dalaran Instance

ungeon crawls in classic Azeroth are traditionally defined by rigid discipline—marking skull targets, drinking for mana behind frost novas, and methodically clearing trash packs before pulling the boss. Yet over the past forty-eight hours on the WoW Forever testing realms, five-player dungeon groups entering the newly accessible City of Dalaran instance have uncovered an unexpected amenity nestled right in the middle of battle: a fully functional, operational salon chair.

Rather than fleeing behind barricades or locking their doors against invading parties, the local barbershop NPCs inside the dungeon walls are open for business.
The clip—shared by warrior streamer and <Elfcore> frontman Shobek on X ↗—captures the absurdity in full glory: an entire party halting midway through an instance trash route so an adventurer can leap into the styling chair, swap facial hair, and adjust their locks before engaging the next elite patrol.

Whether the development team intended for dungeon delvers to restyle their mullets while tanks pull trash packs remains an open question for upcoming beta builds. But for now, if your healer's cast bar lags right before the second boss, check the salon mirrors near the plaza—they might just be getting a fresh trim before the loot drops.
