Little Pony Pet Salon

Little Pony Pet Salon treats grooming like an actual routine rather than a single decorating screen. You start in the tub, working through a wash that actually needs scrubbing in the right spots, then move on to drying, brushing and detangling a mane before any styling begins. Skipping a step tends to show later - a pony brushed too fast keeps a tangle that the styling tools then fight against.

Once she's clean, the salon opens up into hairstyles, outfits and accessories, and the better looks come from matching a mane style to the outfit rather than picking each in isolation. There's no clock running, so a look you don't like is one tap away from starting over.

How to play

Wash the pony first, scrubbing the soap over her coat and rinsing before drying her off. Brush out her mane to remove tangles, since a poorly brushed mane makes later hairstyles look messy. Move into the styling stage and pick a hairstyle, then choose an outfit and accessories that suit it. Tap through each stage in order rather than skipping ahead.

Controls

Tap or click each grooming tool - soap, brush, towel - to use it on the pony. Tap hairstyle, outfit and accessory options to try them on. On mobile, everything works by touch; no dragging is required.
