An open ended, gender neutral app which allows children to play virtual hairdressers with characters. Children can cut, brush, wash, styles and colour different hairstyles. Pictures of their creations can be saved on the camera roll and shown to others later, leaving room for future conversations. Children have complete creative leeway with this app, which can be played indefinitely - such rich opportunities for conversation and imagination. Great role-play opportunity to allow children to do something they wouldn't be allowed to in real life. This sort of play can be repeated with hairdressing dolls, although not to the same extent! Great for extension in offline play and to repeat with adults and friends.
Other notable themes and features of the app include Imagination, Role-Play, Self care.
