72/100

Salon Story is a charming and addictive time-management game that places you in the shoes of an aspiring beauty mogul. The gameplay is fast-paced and requires a lot of multitasking—you have to wash, cut, and style hair while managing the happiness of multiple customers at once. It captures that 'frenetic fun' seen in classics like Diner Dash but with a much more modern and stylish aesthetic.

The progression feels very rewarding; you start with a tiny one-chair salon and eventually build a luxury beauty empire. What I enjoyed was the customization; you can spend your earnings to decorate your salon, which actually affects the gameplay by making customers more patient or increasing your tips. It’s not a revolutionary game, but it’s a very polished and satisfying entry in the management genre. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys the 'just one more level' feeling of task-based simulations.

Managing the Rush

Always keep an eye on the 'Hearts' above your customers' heads. If a heart is flashing, they are about to leave. Prioritize finishing a current service rather than starting a new one, as a finished customer leaves a tip and frees up a chair immediately.
