A trip to the hairdresser is supposed to be a fun experience but all too often you end up locked in a battle of wills between their definition of 'a small trim', and yours. Now you have a chance to enjoy this from the other side of the chair, with a brand new game focussed around salon behaviour. It's called Busy Scissors and will be out on the Wii and the DS later this year. The game allows you to work your way up from salon junior to salon owner, snipping and colouring hair along the way. You'll gain points for your customer service and hairdressing manor, as well as learn about the various tools used in salons. I can imagine using this on the Wii would be quite entertaining as you'll be waving your arms around as you rinse and repeat, and might be a good entree into hairdressing for young people who want to have an idea of what's involved.
There are 35 haircuts that you can learn and a selection of mini games to play as well. The salon uses Redken products (loving the plug) so I guess you'll learn about their range as well!
The game will be out in October, price TBC. Check out more info on Busy Scissors here.
What do you think, shear genius (sorry) or lame idea for a game?
