What’s It About?
Starting in the waiting area, kids drag the character of their choice to the chair to start the makeover. They then choose from four options: clothes, nails, hair, or facial. Kids can change colors and styles of hair and add accessories. They can give the friends a facial and then apply makeup or choose outfit options, trying on the other characters' clothes. Finally, they can give the friends a manicure, buffing nails and applying different color polishes and stickers. Pictures are saved to the Fashion Diary.
Is It Any Good?
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BERRY BEAUTY SALON gives kids lots of options for creativity and role-play fun, including several characters, several makeover activities, and plenty of color and accessory options within each. Strawberry Shortcake fans and kids who enjoy dress-up play will adore this sweet app, which will entertain them for quite a while. Maneuvering the tools and the characters may require some trial and error or multiple attempts for little hands as they figure out how to line up the nail polish brush or to hold the character as they drag her into place. There's no rush or stress, though, in the relaxing and fun salon.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about their favorite looks for each character. Do their outfits or color schemes match their names or personalities?
Have a fun salon day at home: Paint each other's nails, style each other's hair, and choose outfits for each other. Take turns so kids can be the customer and the service provider -- with you as the customer!

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
