Diva Hair Salon
Diva Hair Salon is a hair-salon dress-up simulator where you wash, colour and style hair, then add makeup, accessories and an outfit. It suits players who like making things look right without any pressure.
What happens in play
Diva Hair Salon follows the order of a real salon visit. You start with the hair itself: washing it, colouring it and blow-drying it. Poki describes the hair as realistic, with strands that move and react as you work, so the tools behave a little differently from one step to the next.
Once the hair is clean and coloured, you style it. You can twist it, straighten it and shape each strand until it looks the way you want. Nothing here is timed or scored in the Poki description; the point is to try combinations and see what they look like on the page. A typical session might go like this: rinse and colour the hair, dry it, shape it into the style you picture, and then dress the whole look around it. Because each stage has its own tools, you get a feel for the order of the work, and you can repeat the sequence with different colours to compare results. Nothing in the game asks you to hurry, so it works well when you want to play slowly and look at the details of what you have made.
The look is finished with accessories, makeup and an outfit. You pick options and tools with the mouse, so it works the same way with a pointer or a finger on a touch screen. Because every step offers choices, two sessions rarely end in the same result. Since the goal is the finished look, a good habit is to decide on a mood first, for example natural or bold, and then let each choice follow from it. The game gives you the tools, but the direction is yours, and that open ending is what makes it relaxing for many players.
Buttons you need
- Mouse / tapPick options and tools
Small advice
- Choose the colour before the style; it is easier to judge a cut or a twist on hair that already has its final shade.
- Work through the hair in small sections so you can see what each tool does to the strands.
- Try the accessories last, once you know how the hair sits.
- If you do not like a step, go back and change one option instead of starting over.
- Pick makeup and outfit to match the colour you chose for the hair.
Right for
Players who enjoy dress-up and styling games, and anyone after a relaxed game that has no enemies, timers or fail states in its description. It also works well for short breaks, because you can stop whenever the look feels complete.
Downsides
— It is a dress-up game, so there is no challenge to beat in the way a race or platformer offers.
— It is controlled by mouse (or touch) alone, so it is not suited to players who want fast reflexes.
— Poki shows a short ad break around play sessions.
— There is no score or winner described on the Poki page, so players who need a goal to chase may lose interest quickly.
