The story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it disjointed, silly, and poorly written, often describing the characters as annoying or dumbed down. While some appreciate the unpredictable and outrageous nature of the narrative, others feel it detracts from the gameplay experience, making it a chore to get through. Overall, the story is seen as a weak point of the game, lacking the charm and coherence found in previous titles in the series.
“But everything is so unpredictable and out of nowhere that the story becomes a hilarious motivation to get you through the game.”
“This is honestly my favorite of the games, the story is so off the walls and the characters are great and make me laugh.”
“The story is funny and unlike the free mobile versions of these types of games you have a helper that you can upgrade and assign to stations.”
“The story is horrendous, the characters are dumbed down almost retarded, I would say, even Sally herself is being dumbed down.”
“The story was all over the place with very dramatic shifts from one problem to another that really just did not make any sense.”
“For me, at least, the story was a bit much; it was hard to follow exactly what was going on and there were so many characters introduced in a short amount of time that I quickly lost track of their names.”

The gameplay is generally described as standard for the time management genre, featuring familiar mechanics such as serving customers and managing tasks. While some players appreciate the smooth and engaging gameplay, others find it repetitive and lacking in innovation compared to previous titles in the series. Overall, fans of the genre may enjoy the mechanics, but the game's story and character design have received mixed reactions.
“I have been a fan of Gamehouse time management games for a while and I must admit 'Sally's Salon: Kiss & Makeup' is by far my favorite one: light-hearted tone, more diverse characters, new gameplay mechanic to have an assistant help you so that tasks do not feel so monotonous, 3D-animated cutscenes... I cannot wait to see what Sally's up to next!”
“The gameplay is nice; like most of their games, you work on stations and serve customers.”
“I recommend it only for the fun gameplay and salons!”
“Sadly, even the gameplay wasn't my cup of tea.”
“The gameplay is the same as all of the other games from this developer.”
“However, it is another clone of the 'Delicious' style of gameplay and has character crossovers with a silly storyline.”

The humor in the game is described as unpredictable and absurd, often blending dry wit and surreal elements that appeal to both children and adults.

Overall, the game is seen as a quirky experience that balances silliness with unique achievements, though it may benefit from a more thoughtful approach to its comedic content.
“But everything is so unpredictable and out of nowhere that the story becomes a hilarious motivation to get you through the game.”
“Ridiculous, hilarious and fun.”
“While all games in this franchise are quirky to a greater or lesser extent, 'Sally's Salon: Kiss & Make-Up' is probably the most hilariously surreal of all the games I've played.”
