Toca Hair Salon 3
© 2016 Toca Boca
See Toca Hair Salon 4 (March 16, 2020). Featuring new characters but missing the ability to import your own face, this third edition of Toca Hair Salon is sillier and more zany than previous editions. It also offers more facial hair and skin tone options, and a wider cast of hair salon customers. Other features include some new outfits, a braiding tool, and more clothing and dress up options. Weaknesses to note: You can't save your work (although you can take a picture) which is frustrating, because it is possible to grow attached to a particular character. In addition, if you are expecting to import your own face for a hairstyle (as you could with Toca Hair Salon Me) you'll be disappointed. But the good news is that Toca Hair Salon Me is still in the app store, and it is currently free. It's worth noting that this app has been carefully designed to be gender/ethnic-neutral; so all children will feel welcome.
