Toca Hair Salon Me is exactly what you'd expect from Toca Boca: a gentle, colorful, open-ended digital toy that lets kids play salon without the mess (or the regret). It's not going to teach your kid algebra, but it does encourage creative experimentation and self-expression in a totally safe, ad-free environment.
The ability to upload photos of yourself or your dog and give them a rainbow mohawk is genuinely fun, and the shampoo station is a nice touch for kids who want to reset and try again. The main thing to watch for is younger kids getting inspired to grab real scissors—have a quick chat about pretend vs. real, and you're golden.
It's a solid pick for preschool and early elementary kids who love dress-up and creative play. Just know it's part of a subscription service (Piknik), so factor that into your decision.
