Yes. Rockstar has named Stock 305 as a clothing store, shown Lucia and Jason in dozens of outfits, and previews of the Extended Look describe an outfit wheel for changing clothes and masks on the spot. A full change of outfit also clears the police's clothing description.

Yes, at Sara's Unisex Salon, which Rockstar describes as offering signature salon styles including facial hair for Jason and makeup and nails for Lucia. The screenshots show Lucia at the manicure table. Sara's is an Ultimate Edition exclusive.

Yes. Rockstar says memberships auto-renew monthly at the regular price after the free month until cancelled. The offer is limited to one redemption per platform account, and refunding the game then pre-ordering again does not earn a second free month.
