Right now one company stands above the rest when it comes to creating fun and engaging apps for children that are not geared towards learning to write, read, or other educational type things, but instead, towards fun.The company is Toca Boca.They’ve created this great line of apps that include Doctor, Tea Party, Paint My Wings, Helicopter Taxi, Robot Lab, and now Hair Salon.Toca Hair Salon is yet another wonderful, creative, and quirky app from the developers at Toca Boca.This universal app allows one to cut, style, and color the hair of one of four available models.Toca Hair Salon allows players to create any and all styles of hair they can dream of.It basically allows children to turn the iPhone into their own hair salon, with cutting, combing, shaving, blow drying, and even coloring hair for some interesting characters.While kids style and work on the character of choice each has reactions to what is being done.Some funny, others of delight, and some of displeasure.When kids are done, they can snap a photo and save it to the camera roll, a great feature for kids.The interface is very easy and child-friendly here, as one enters a retro-styled barber shop, complete with spinning red-and-white pole out front. When inside, tap one of four customers waiting for service. These clients are certainly interesting-looking, two of whom are more bear- or lion-looking than human and they will make sounds, either positive or negative, giving feedback as you are doing their hair, details that add character and whimsy.Once a model is selected, the fun beings. First, notice that subtle movements of one’s device change the perspective as one looks past the client and at the salon used in the background, even looking through the glass windows and onto the street, all of which give a nice 3D feel to the experience.There are so many details such as the patterned wallpaper and chair used for waiting,mail coming through the slot in the door and noises from the street.The door even has a bell on top, heard when someone enters the salon.To start styling, scroll through the available tools at the bottom of the screen, giving the options to comb, cut, blow, buzz, or dye the hair of the client.This app is so amazing that even parents and grown ups use it.If you have young kids and are looking for a great iPhone app to let them have a blast with, check out Hair Salon, and while you’re at it, take a look at their other apps, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
