“Hairdresser Simulator,” developed by Frozen Way,  is a life simulator that lets players serve customers at virtual hair salons. Gamers will need to pass hair lessons, use profits to buy a salon, upgrade equipment and hire staff.

Gameplay: Gamers start “Hairdresser Simulator” as a student at Geordie’s hair salon. Afterward, gamers are able to buy their own hair salon.

Players use the right trigger to access the tool menu. Gamers hold the RT button to select the tools needed.  

For example, to straighten a customer’s hair, players will need to use the right thumb stick and follow the instructions.

Players’ first hair salon: When gamers arrive at their virtual hair salon, players can expect to clean and spend funds buying furniture and equipment. Then, players can go into the in-game menu to schedule clients, buy equipment and purchase property.

After players clean their salon, gamers will learn how to cut client’s hair. There are many lessons players need to complete to be hair professionals, even the next Paul Mitchell!

 

Sound: The upbeat music in “Hairdresser Simulator,” unfortunately, fails to match the game’s tone. Hair salons are often trendy; the music here is anything but.

Voice acting is good. Scissors and clippers sound very good.

Sandbox: The game mode, SandBox, lets players create and customize their own character. Gamers can experiment on their characters with unlocked hair tools, before trying styles in their salons.

Graphics: The graphics are good. The hair animations look realistic. The customers look very good, as well as their movements.

Overall, “Hairdresser Simulator” is an entertaining game that can bring out gamers’ creative side. If gamers  want to play with hair styling or be a virtual hairdresser in their own salon, “Hairdresser Simulator” fits that bill.

VERDICT: 8 (out of 10)
