Sally's Salon: Beauty Secrets Collector's Edition

There’s no shortage of beauty salons nowadays, especially since it’s that much more important for people to take care of their appearance. Naturally, the workers have to deal with a variety of ludicrous requests on a regular basis, because not all people are aware of what’s possible when it comes to making themselves look pretty. More luxurious salons offer much more exotic services as well.

Sally's Salon: Beauty Secrets is a fast-paced time management game in which you get to help a girl named Sally put her talents to use and work in a variety of salons around the world to gain more fame. In essence, your job as the player is to accomplish simple tasks as quickly as possible, while also trying to keep moving at all times in order to avoid unhappy customers.

Sally is a pretty famous makeup artist already, but she is constantly trying to get better at her trade, which is why she travels around the world to learn new things. On top of that, she is also trying to track her long-lost love in her travels, so you have to help her with that as well. Naturally, the story is only important during the cutscenes, because you have no actual control over it.

Besides running around to fetch objects and clean the salon for the next customer, you also get to engage in a variety of mini-games whenever a customer wants a haircut or some nail polish. These mini-games are extremely simple in terms of mechanics, but depending on the difficulty level they can pose a challenge. Hence, you have to move a lot faster if you decide to upgrade the difficulty.

The graphics are nothing too special for a time management game, but they are certainly colorful and enjoyable. Hence, the salons are very detailed and nicely designed to look professional, while the characters are all unique and sometimes memorable. There’s a jolly soundtrack playing in the background at all times, which keeps your spirits up.

In the end, Sally's Salon: Beauty Secrets is a great combination of classic time management mechanics and unique mini-games, so you can enjoy yourself regardless of whether you have experience with the genre or not.
