Hello, Stylists!

We've been away for a little while, so without further ado, let's dive right into some big news we’ve prepared for you!

STEAM NEXT FEST

Okay, listen up. The next edition of Steam Next Fest is kicking off on the 9th of October and we wanted to announce that all of you are invited.
Whether you're an aspiring hairstylist, a seasoned pro, or just someone who loves a good makeover, this event is for you. The demo will be available from 9th of October for seven days until the 16th of October. Don't miss this opportunity and give Hairdresser Simulator a try!

We hope you enjoyed our little teaser, you can let us know in the comments. Meanwhile let’s proceed to the devlog.

CHARACTER CREATOR

Okay, as the first cuts are behind us, let’s create your very first character.

It’s not the first time you see it, but it will be the most detailed showcase yet. We're excited to pull back the curtain a bit further and reveal the true extent of possibilities our character creator holds.
Imagine crafting your own reflection or an image of the person you would like to cut. With this tool you can adjust the body and face parameters to match your preferences. You can try big, expressive eyes, or vibrant makeup that comes to life with just a few clicks.
You can experiment with extreme makeovers or minute changes to pre-made characters as you desire.

Enjoy the possibilities of the creator, but remember that there's another layer to explore – hair options that let you freely change their appearance. Whether it's cascading locks, a chic bob, playful curls, or sleek straightness, the choice is yours to make.

MAKE-UP

Even though our game mostly focuses on hair styling, there's another option that can delight your friends. Elevate your recently designed character by experimenting with some unconventional make-up ideas. Stage makeup? Absolutely! Soft eyeshadows and a subtle eyeliner? No problem. Mix up different colors, go wild with those eyeshadows, pick out your lipstick and have fun.

NEW HAIR MECHANICS

Hairstyling isn’t just about the scissors. With the extraordinary tools we offer, you can craft intriguing hairstyles or recreate classic looks. Experiment with the modeling tool and select the variant that resonates with you; that's when you'll truly appreciate the control you have over the quality of the haircut your customer walks out with.

NEW SALONS

Did that local library catch your eye? Or perhaps you're thinking about revamping the run-down local pub? And if these suggestions don't sound appealing, you can always convert the abandoned pizzeria into a hair salon. In the full game, there will be plenty of options, but which one will be your choice? Let us know in the comments.

STAFF MANAGEMENT

If you aim for the top, you've got to make sure you have the right team in place. Good employees equal happy customers, and happy customers mean more buzz for your hairdressing empire. As the boss, you've got to be able to figure out who's the right fit for your team and who's not. It's not a walk in the park, though - you won’t be responsible just for the hiring, you’ll also need to know when to let somebody go.

NPC’s

As we're slowly heading towards the end, we wanted to introduce you to a few customers you'll encounter on your journey to the pinnacle of the hairstyling world. These include Harry, Kate, Kimaya, and Dave. Each of them will have their own demands and preferences. If you meet their expectations, they’ll surely pass on a good word about your salon to others!



KEEP UP TO DATE

That's a wrap, Stylists! Thank you for sticking with us until the end, and we hope you enjoyed our little show. Just a reminder, from October 9th to October 16th, 2023, you'll have the chance to participate in Steam Next Fest and play our Demo.

Hello there, Stylists💈


Not so long ago, we promised you that we didn’t stop developing our game. That’s why, today, we’re back, much quicker than last time, with a new dev log!
As always, I’d love to thank you for your honest opinion on the last news. It’s much appreciated that you look forward to the game!

Today we'll go through a few features – new improved behavior (and animations) of our customers, expansion of hair mechanics, and a little surprise at the end, so be sure to read till the end not to miss it 😉

[h3]New Poster[/h3]

It’s poster time – we’re introducing more and more human factors to the game, so it was high time to change our header. Now you can see a hairdresser at work, which is the meat and potatoes of our gameplay. We'd love to know how you compare it to the previous one, so please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

[h3]Facial expressions[/h3]

Our goal is to make it feel like you work with real human beings. Thanks to the new facial expressions, the game is more immersive than before.
Now you can see how your client reacts to your actions. A customer might wink at you, smile, look in your direction, and will probably close his eyes during the hair-washing and drying process… Unless he thinks he might enjoy getting shampooed in the eye.

[h3]Mechanics[/h3]

Feel comfortable at work with the new hairdresser sink that you can use for head washing – along with shampooing and rinsing dyes off.
Let’s straighten every inch of hair with the new straightener. We changed how it looks and improved the animation.

[h3]Hair trimmer[/h3]

And now something new – you can join our salon and adjust your hairstyle as you wish. We would like to present the hair trimmer – the primary accomplice to dramatic transformation and cool fades… If one knows how to use it. Be careful of the power you wield!

[h3]Making the salon[/h3]

Now’s the time for the promised surprise. Believe me or not, it’s not a piece of cake to run your own hairdressing salon. Let me take you through some basics step by step.

First of all let’s choose the logo and a name.

Then it’s time to take out the trash. We want to clear out space for new furniture.

Let’s make it shiny as new by plugging holes in the walls. It’s crucial to get the salon ready before customers' arrival.

Sell equipment left over by previous owners and start a new life for your business.

What’s left is to buy the most important accessories and finish the renovation.

Now you’re ready to face upcoming challenges and begin your climb to the top of the ladder – become the best hairdresser in town!

[h3]Keep up to date[/h3]

That would be it for today’s development update, Stylists. I hope you liked our little showcase and found something that interests you. It’s another big step for us, so we’d be thrilled to know what you found to be the most exciting part of our update. Please let us know in the comments section below.

As always, we recommend following our social media channels for future updates and wishlist us on Steam to don’t miss the next devlogs.
