                haircolor = input("Choose a hair color:", "Choosing your icon:") in list("Black", "Brown", "Grey", "Red", "White")
                switch(ggender)
                    if("Male")
                        I = new('Male.dmi')
                        hairstyle = input("Choose a hair style: ", "Choosing your icon: ") in list("Balding", "Short", "Moustache", "Long")
                    if("Female")
                        I = new('Female.dmi')
                        hairstyle = input("Choose a hair style: ", "Choosing your icon: ") in list( "Short",  "Long", "Ponytail", "Ponytail2")
                var/obj/hair/overlay/O = new()
                O.owner = src
                O.NewHair()


obj/hair/overlay
    var/mob/owner
    icon = 'hair.dmi'
    layer = MOB_LAYER + 2
    proc/NewHair()
        icon_state = "[owner.haircolor][owner.hairstyle]"

This is how mine works. Just add icon states. you can do rgb() colors for hair too, but I think that there'd be too many blue-haired avatars in that case. Anyway, make a hair object, like I do. Works like a charm. It also allows for hair styling, to change the type and color of the player's hair - simply remove, modify color and style, then add again.

Don't give him that.
                        src.overlays +='spikey.dmi'
                        character = new /mob/You/Magician()
                    if ("Long")
                        src.overlays +='long.dmi'
                        character = new /mob/You/Magician()
                    if ("Short")
                        src.overlays +='short.dmi'
                        character = new /mob/You/Magician()

It's because your overlaying the variables to src not character.
Also, I would suggest making a hair variable, and storing the object with the hair there, so you can easily remove it by.

src.overlays+=src.hair
src.overlays-=src.hair

Why make him rework his whole entire code to fit around your mold?
Why not FIX the error like he asked?

This is your problem:
overlays += X  //Whos overlays? \
This is defaulting to src, being the mob you DblClick()


It should be:
usr.overlays+=X  //This will add hair to the person who DblClick()ed


Same goes for the other one.
