Toca Hair Salon 2

What it is: a virtual hair salon with 4 animated characters, multiple tools, accessories, hair dyes etc.

What you do with it: play with the character's hair: wash, dry, grow, cut, trim, shave, dye, add accessories etc., take a snapshot and save the created hairstyle to the library on the device.

What we liked: the concept, high quality graphics with 'realistic' hair and effects, number and quality of tools and accessories to play with, fun factor (the characters 'respond' in a funny way), no distracting elements, locked out 'parents only' menu, overall quality of the app.

What we didn't like: could have more education value. No option to save a partial creation for further editing. Audio instructions could make this app more accessible for younger kids.
