Toca Hair Salon 3 by Toca Boca is the third installment of the beloved open-ended kids' hair styling series, offering the deepest customization yet. Players can choose from dozens of unique characters — each with their own randomized starting hairstyle — and then cut, dye, curl, braid, and accessorize to their heart's content. A new braiding tool, dip-dye and fade color effects, facial hair growth and styling, and extensive accessory options including hats, glasses, and jewelry set it apart from earlier entries. There is no timer, no score, no failure state — just pure creative play. The gender-neutral design welcomes all kids, and the app contains no third-party advertising. Toca Hair Salon 3 is a paid app available on Google Play with a reputation as one of the best kids' apps ever made. ✂️🌈
How to play?
1. **Pick a Character** — Tap a character card from the selection screen; each character arrives with a unique randomized hairstyle to start from.
2. **Wash the Hair** — Drag the shampoo or water spray over the hair to clean it and prepare it for styling tools.
3. **Cut & Trim** — Select the scissors and swipe across sections of hair to cut them; hair falls away realistically to reveal the shorter style underneath.
4. **Color the Hair** — Open the dye tray and choose any color; apply it with dip-dye, fade, or full-coverage strokes for bold or subtle results.
5. **Curl or Straighten** — Pick up the curling wand or flat iron and drag it down sections of hair to add waves, curls, or a sleek straight style.
6. **Braid the Hair** — Tap the braiding tool and weave sections of hair together to create plaits; adjust the tightness and placement as desired.
7. **Add Accessories & Photo** — Tap the accessory drawer to place hats, glasses, jewelry, or flowers, then tap the camera to take a photo and share the finished look.
