Prom Salon™ app review: get ready for the big night

Introduction

Little girls love playing dress up and what's more exciting than getting all dolled up for prom night. The Prom Salon™ app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone gives kids the chance to get ready for the big night with all kinds of preparation. Make your character look just perfect thanks to the spa, makeup, clothing, hairstyle, accessories, and even choose a date for the big night. Once your little one has created the perfect prom look it can be shared by email and on Facebook.

Prepping for the Big Night

It's time to prep for the big night with the Prom Salon™ app where you will begin by choosing your character. Next it's time to do them up in style and make them picture perfect. Kids even get to pick a date to escort them to the prom. After all the prom preparations they can share their final look by email or Facebook. This is the chance to dress up and really go out in style. This  salon game is kid-friendly and the controls are all simple and responsive. It even feels addictive thanks to all the choices offered.

The app is free to use but some of the features require an in-app purchase. The free version is meant to give you a feel for the game. The app currently has four out of five stars from users who seem to be pretty happy with the offering but would like to see more features offered for free. In its last update, which was over a year ago, there were enhancements made to the performance, bug fixes, and the icon was totally re-done.

Creating that Perfect Look

Creating that perfect prom look doesn't have to be a big ordeal at all, in fact it can be really fun thanks to the Prom Salon™ app. Take your character to the spa and start the preparations off in a relaxing way, apply the perfect makeup look, pick out that dream dress, choose a hairstyle that sets off the whole look, add fashionable accessories, and then pick your date. The graphics are completely fun and kid-friendly and the tools feel realistic and cute. The variety of colors, products, clothing items, and accessories makes it possible to truly create that "dream look." The one downfall is that the music is a bit obnoxious and it would be nice if this was toned down a bit.
