What Makes Salon Story Stand Out
Start a new life as a beauty entrepreneur in Salon Story!
Welcome to your brand new beauty salon. At first, you'll start out earning a few bucks for a haircut, but before long you'll be turning over millions offering a full suite of cosmetic services.
Start out by opening the first hairdressing station. You'll be able to cut one customer's hair at a time.
Your employee works automatically, so let them go back and forth cutting the hair of anyone who walks in.
Upgrade your station! Spend the money you earn to upgrade your station. Upgrading your station will increase the money you make from each customer—so it's worth it in the long run.
Buy more upgrades! Additional upgrades will allow you to unlock more stations, work more efficiently, and add extra employees.
Keep earning and upgrading to progress your salon. Choose your upgrades to maximize your efficiency and reach the next stages, where you'll expand your offerings with more services and even greater profits!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love playing this game and it helps us with our anxiety, unfortunately once we get to a certain level it seems to quit working and you cant make money anymore because the players never finish their task (the green circle stops about half way and freezes) So we end up deleting and redownloading so we can keep playing. We also have tried to purchase the no adds option twice and both times it still makes us watch adds to get the bonuses. If they fixed these bugs it would be the best game, but definitely dont spend any money because it wont get you very far and its a waste when you cant proceed further to the next levels. We hope the developers see this and make some changes.
Loved the game until it froze on the third stop in Paris. It freezes halfway through the first customer. Ive already deleted and redownloaded the app and the exact same thing happened on the same level. Hoping it gets fixed soon.
We love this game Ive been playing it for a while and when we get to Beauty center in Paris it freezes Ive deleted it and downloaded it again to see if it would work and it didnt the customer comes in and it freezes at the half timer mark.
Ive been loving this game, but unfortunately for about a month now Ive been stuck on a level. One customer comes in And then the action only goes half way and stays there. Ive tried restarting, reinstalling and its just not working :(.
We love this game, but Ill get to a certain point, and itll stop in the middle and not continue :(.
Im stuck on a level and the bar is only half way done and its frozen please fix this.
Occasionally after we get to a good level that take a while to get back, it will just stop working. We will finish one level and get to the next, and it feels like the customer gets stuck. It just sits there and it shows the bar halfway full but never progresses or anything. Please fix this because otherwise this really could be an amazing game.
Super annoying. Most of the time, tips will appear in areas that you cant click on them. In between chairs and such. Has happened multiple times. We dont spend all these diamonds for us to not be able to click on tips. Makes us not want to recommend the game.
Has potential, but we can NEVER collect 2x the coins when Ive been offline. It just loads forever, and if we restart we wont get any coins from being offline at all. Basic things that should be working.
We Give this Game a 1 because we paid for no adds and yall ripped us off yall took the money then charged us another almost 12 dollars when the no add price was for 2.99 so yall yall owe us almost 15 dollars because yall took our money and we still get adds yall are stealing from people we will be notifying someone about this.
Worst game ever it didnt even turn on 0 stars because of that nonsense part.
Does the job as far as idle games go, but we continue to encounter several problems. Oftentimes an employee will stop at the hair cutting station and there is no progress wheel and so that character never leaves/pays so you have to hope you have other areas open and accumulating cash so you can move on. Another bug is when you move on to a new level and you go to retrieve your usual treasure chests, the number of chests reads 0 and theres nothing to open and you cant exit the screen without quitting the game. Tip coins are sometimes hidden behind the button to upgrade the station so you have to tap exactly in the right spot. We wish you could zoom out. Sometimes becomes dizzying. Would love an event feature. Thought paying for no ads would include the 2x bonus, but not so. Otherwise basic and cute.
We paid to have the ads removed and we are still having ads. We tried to restore our purchases and it has done nothing otherwise its a very fun game but we dont know if Ill keep playing it.
Paid for no ads but still have to watch ADS !!! So disappointed.
We waste so much time on this game! Looking forward to more bug fixes and updates.
We love love love the new update! We just paid for remove ads now that its a feature thats added but beforehand we still enjoyed playing this game as much! There werent even that many ads tbh lol anyways its nice to pass the time and get lost in the game we love it.
The update added new cities, cant wait to unlock them.
The facial station is a nice addition, feels like a spa.
Earning rewards for completing tasks is so satisfying.
Customizing our salon is so much fun, great design.
Feels like a real salon tour with all the city locations.
Love the beach-themed salon, feels like a vacation.
We just want to get to the next Salon.
The new city update added so much more excitement to the game.
Unlocking new salon equipment is the best part.
Feels like Im really managing our own salon, so cool.
Love traveling through cities and unlocking new salons.
We love the game, but we paid for no ads forever and Im still getting lots of ads! This needs to be fixed.
We love this little game it is so cute, BUT, no ads when.
Cute gameplay, but Ive played other games with this setup and they dont force ads on you in the middle of your gameplay. You have the option to watch ads for boosts if you want, but its not a requirement to play. This game throws random ads up in the middle of your gameplay and it doesnt ad any bonuses to what your doing. Id recommend removing the random ads that pop up. So Ive uninstalled until thats no longer a requirement to play. Its annoying having ads pup up and interrupt your gameplay every 45 seconds to a minute.
We love the workers theyre sooo cute.
Our go-to game when we need a break, so cute and fun.
All the salon stations and upgrades are cool.
It's so satisfying to unlock new stations and see our salon grow.
If you like salons, youll love this game.
We always loved visiting salons, and this game is perfect.
