Toca Hair Salon

Update November 2013: See Toca Hair Salon Me, with the ability to import your own photos. Update December 2011: Just released is a free Christmas version of Toca Hair Salon that lets you cut, color and style Santa Claus' beard and hair. Here's a theme that works especially well with young children: getting a haircut. After you choose a customer from six possible human and animal options, you start combing, coloring and blow drying with your finger driving the action. The hair is a little hard to control, and the art is best described as irreverent, on par with other Toca apps. Content includes 12 hair colors and five tools. The app features four characters, including animals, who make funny faces and sounds as you work on their hair cut. If you're looking for a serious hair cutting app, you won't find it here. For a playful experience, however, you can't go wrong with this well designed, easy to control, playful app that follows in the tradition of other Toca Boca experiences. You can also take pictures of your creations and save them. If you make a mistake, there's even a magic potion (called G.R.O.) to make the hair grow back again. If life were only so easy.
