Confirmed, and the diagnosis is uglier than "the haircut did not apply": the purchase worked perfectly. You were charged, the new style was saved to your character, and it persisted. The renderer then could not find any artwork for it and quietly fell back to the default for your gender — which is Black Toben, colour 0. That is why every style you bought looked like the same wrong haircut rather than like nothing happening.
Cause: the game had render data for exactly SIX hairstyles, the three per gender the character creator offers. The salons between them sell SEVENTY-FOUR. Both of the styles you named (30040 and 30200) were in the missing sixty-eight, and so was every colour of them. The artwork was never the problem — the CDN serves all 74 — only the data that says which pieces to draw and where.
All 74 are now extracted from the v83 client itself and shipped. To keep the download honest they are stored packed and unpacked the first time somebody actually wears one, so a style nobody on your screen has costs almost nothing. The six that already shipped were re-extracted by the same tool and checked piece-for-piece against the old files, so the starter styles are provably unchanged.
Worth a re-test after the next publish on both halves of your report — the haircut AND the dye, since the colour digit is derived from the style and had the same hole under it.
