If you don't pass, then she gives you a letter saying how you're not a "fashionista" with a shirt in it, and if you do pass, she gives you a certificate saying how she admires you and has to pay her "respects" to you. No shirt if you pass!
 * Brewster - Brewster used to own an unsuccessful coffee shop in the city, before meeting Blathers and being invited to the museum.
 * Harriet - In Animal Crossing: Wild World, Harriet states "I've got to remember I don't own a salon in the city anymore."
 * Sable and Mable- Sometimes they will talk of Sable's friendship with Tom Nook, long ago when they were growing up together. According to them, Tom Nook's dream was to have a big shop in the city.

The City in City Folk
The City is the newest addition to the Animal Crossing series, consisting of many places that were shown in previous games (Crazy Redd's, Shampoodle, ect.). The player can only get to the city in City Folk and the shops there are featured in other places in other games in the series. To get here, take the bus to the city, in the front center of the town. There are many shops in the city in City Folk. Five villagers will appear outside at a time during the day, while fewer will appear in the morning and at night. Once the player enters a building and comes out, a new set of villagers will appear. Sometimes the same villagers can be seen on a trip to the city. Also, there are flowers in boxes around the city.

Crazy Redd's
Crazy Redd's is a black market run by Redd, a sneaky salesclerk. This shop is located south of the ABD, to the left of the city. It is a dark blue iron door in the shadowy part of the city, with a slithole either lighted (when Redd is there), or not (when he isn't). Crazy Redd's is intitially closed to the player unless he/she has obtained an invitation. To do this, you must knock on his door once (and he will tell you to scram), and then talk to villagers around your hamlet. Eventually, one will randomly ask, Have you heard of Redd's Shop in the city? Answer no, and he/she will tell you they are a member and send you an invite. {C Crazy Redd's sells many rare items that an be only be found there, but at very expensive prices. Redd also frequently sells paintings, and is the only place to find usual paintings. Unfortunately, more often than not are the paintings forgeries, and worth a measly 10 bells to Tom Nook. Redd's stock consists of 1 painting, and two pieces of furniture. Fortunately, he changes his stock regularly, so you can keep buying rare and collectable items.

The Marquee
The Marquee is the theater in the city, where the usual performer is Dr. Shrunk, while sometimes Frillard will appear. It is possible for the player to learn up to four emotions here.

The Happy Room Academy
