Cruller's Cuts, and referred to as Ford's in the sign and map of the hub, is a hair salon at the Motherlobe for employees of the Psychonauts. It is located on the Western side of the building, and is accessible from the Lobby. When open, it is typically run by "Barber" Cruller.
Description[]
According to ads for the Motherlobe's facilities seen on various screens around the building, Cruller's Cuts is the place to go for Psychonauts to obtain disguises for field missions, as well as to get their haircuts for more casual purposes. Considering how its name implies that it is run by Ford Cruller, it's unclear whether the shop opens at all when he is not at the Motherlobe. The shop's outside features display windows by its entrance that contain disguise props on mannequin heads—several wigs on the right; a set of false teeth, some sunglasses, and a beaglepuss on the left. It matches the aesthetic of the Lobby, something that cannot be said for its inside, which is built in a very old-fashioned style, with wood paneling and visible brickwork. The entire shop's floor is covered in wonky beige and green tiles, and to add more stuff to the inside of this area: Cruller's Cuts consists of a waiting area right past the entrance, and the hair salon itself off on the left.
When first arriving and before talking with Truman Zanotto, the salon is inaccessible thanks to the absence of Ford himself, once his barber aspect is set free, it reopens the place and is seen attending Lori. Raz must take a look on his mind and help that aspect to retrieve his memories; after finishing, it seems the process of going inside his mind made "Barber" Cruller perform an odd job with Lori’s hair since it leave her with a red, white, and blue stripes all over it.

Trivia[]
- So long as Hairdresser Ford is in the salon, an upbeat, carnival-esque rendition of the theme heard in Ford's Sanctuary plays there over unseen speakers, but it stops playing as soon as he leaves.
- This is actually the original music draft for Ford's Follicles, as mentioned in "Dev Chat: Composing Ford's Follicles (Before and After!)", before said level was revamped to take on a darker tone.
- Portions of this song can also be heard as part of the ambient music in Ford's Follicles, some of them played backwards.
