The gameplay in this title 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 new elements and smoother mechanics, others feel it lacks the charm and challenge of previous entries in the series. Overall, it appeals to fans of the genre but may disappoint those seeking innovation or a compelling story.
“In terms of gameplay, it does what it's supposed to do well enough.”
“The gameplay is nice; like most of their games, you work on stations and serve customers.”
“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!”
“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.”
