I used to play this game on my iPod back in junior high/early high school and I LOVED IT!! You could earn money and awards from levels and even get bonuses for getting a perfect score on a level! With those earned rewards and money, you could hire other people for your salon, upgrade your chairs or baths, and overall make your spa more enjoyable and make levels a little easier to beat.
Now that was years ago. I stumbled upon this game again recently and nostalgia hit me hard, so I instantly downloaded it. Now, I can’t play a level without watching an ad, I can’t hire new people without paying $4.99 and I have to physically wait 7+ hours for Sally’s “flight” to take her to a new city.
I’ve barely played 10 levels and I want to delete the game. I used to be able to play for hours and never grow tired of it. Do yourself a favor and DON’T download it, even if it’s for old times sake. I’m deleting it immediately after I write this.
Sorry, old friend Sally. It’s not the game, it’s the developers. 1/10

This game tricks you into spending money in order to complete levels. It doesn’t allow you to upgrade items in your shop with in game currency… you have to spend real life money- so then you do and you get a good 2-3 rounds and then once again are put in the position to spend real life money in order to get through to the next round (I’m talking like, playing and losing a round after 15 try’s when you only needed $2 in game coins to pass) It continues this pattern until you’re left with the empty gut feeling that you just spent hard earned money on a game that’s developed to have you lose unless you are spending your real life hard earned money. Now here you are, without the $20 that you had to work two hours to get and without the app you just played to waste a bunch of money on and delete bc if you keep it you’ll just spend more in frustration. Not worth it! Save your money and experience something better than miss sally and her little spa….

I loved this game so much when I played it however many years ago, and the gameplay itself is still really solid. However, this new version of the game is so paywalled that you might as well play the old version.

Watching an ad or so between levels is fine; games need to make money to keep running. However, only being able to play 5 levels before having to wait 8 hours to play more is ridiculous. Twenty dollars to be able to play more than five levels at a time? That's insane, especially when the travel times used to be instant. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad if you could replay old levels during the flight, or if the flights were shorter, but neither of those apply.

My other pet peeve is that you can only get the assistants with real life money. Later levels are clearly built with you having assistants in mind; why is a core game mechanic locked behind a paywall? It just doesn't make any sense.

I really love this game, but so far this new version is a complete and utter nightmare. I really hope they alleviate at least some of these issues, because I do miss playing it, but I'm not going to shill out money for a game that only lets you play 5 levels at a time and was created with a "pay to win" mindset.
