1. We need more hairstyles that look good. The majority of the styles we have now are rarely used.
It's number one on the list of requested changes.
2. All specieswith thesame options for eye color and hair color. I appreciate the diversity, but when I tell a customer I can't do a certain color, I feel constricted.
Hmm.. well, there are basic racial differences to consider here.. not all races are built that same way. I would expect some differences in Mon Calamari and Human eye structure.
3. With the new salons, shouldn't there be a droid unit that can make us portable like crafters get?
It's true Doctors and Artisan professions have these, but none of the Entertainer classes do, not Dancer, not Musician, and not us. I'd like these too, but I understand if they don't want to give them to us. We aren't crafters, after all.
4. With the new system, progressively lower the time by a percentage when each skill tree is mastered.
This is a great idea. Why doesn't SOE ever listen?
5. Why not add torso changes to body mastering, we don't get anything at that point right now. At least, nothing I've noticed.
Don't we get Height or Weight at Body IV? Well, I'm of the opinion that since the Master ID's get the timer reduction, that the other options they get should be moved down the trees.. it's really an unfair advantage, otherwise. But again, good idea. Why doesn't SOE listen to good ideas?
These are just a few ideas, still working with everything to see what else could use some fine-tuning, but all-in-all I like the profession. I wouldn't think that these would be hard to impliment, seems like stuff they do with other professions anyway. Who knows, maybe they're already working on it and I'm just being impatient.
They aren't. They are working on JtL, and whatever features have been promised in the next Publish. I wouldn't expect any sort of changes till November/December at the earliest. But then, what do I know? It's completely possible I guess, but I haven't heard even the slightest breath of any more Image Design changes and I've been listening VERY intently.

1) There's been a cry for new hairstyles and the like, it takes a vast amount of art (shading, sizing, programming, coloring, etc.) for each one. Doubt we'll be getting any for a while. But never underestimate the Giant Silver Mohawk. Every client I ever sprang it on loved it. 
2) I have a feeling that the hair and eye color got LucasArts nixed. Not entirely sure. I know they nixed girly-torsos for half the species.
3) The droid unit thing's been mentioned a number of times. I hope someone goes with it. I'd like to give my DE some business.
4) Lower time is currently the Master Reward. Along wtith skin color, wookiee head size .... (I've never seen a wookiee want a new head size).
5) It may be that you get something weird at Body IV. Like "Mon Cal Gullet" or something. I would actually guess that this is so -- I know I was thoroughly confused by wookiee fur changes. One color half is at the bottom of one tree, one half is at the top of another tree, and the patterns were elsewhere. It's all hidden, and the +1, +2 that you get when you go up a level isn't terribly descriptive.
