Toca Boca Hair Salon 4

Creative styling for children

Toca Boca Hair Salon 4 is an open-ended styling app for children who want to experiment with characters’ looks. Players can work with hair, beards, makeup, face paint, clothing and accessories, then change the result whenever they like. It suits children who prefer imaginative, hands-on play rather than levels, scores or a fixed objective.

What you can do

• Hair and beard station: Cut, shape, curl and recolour hair, with tools designed for repeated experimentation.
• Face station: Add makeup or use the face as a canvas for creative painting.
• Style station: Choose clothes and accessories to finish each character’s appearance.
• Shampoo station: Wash the character and clear the current style before starting again.

Play style and audience

The app is built around freeform creation rather than challenge-based progression. Children can try combinations, undo their choices through washing or restyling, and make several different looks without needing to follow instructions. The visual interface relies heavily on touch controls and icons, making it suitable for younger players who may read little or not at all. Its educational value is mainly practical and creative: it gives children room to make choices, observe changes and repeat the process.
