Boosters create deadlock
boosters like tea and candle should not be diminished if a level was not passed. Otherwise u literally can’t pass a level if u need them (even with paid upgrades), because u need money to buy them, and can’t get more money if u don’t pass the level. It’s a deadlock. Tea and candles should be replenished if u didnt pass the level and didn’t earn money from using them.

Pay to win
This game is impossible to get through. At some point you become locked out of progression with insanely difficult levels. When you fail, it still depletes your consumables like tea and candles which you need to prevent customers from getting angry and leaving. Because they get depleted no matter the outcome, you will lose all your money trying to replenish these, making the level outright impossible in the end when you can’t buy them anymore. To make matters worse, the game doesn’t let you go back to earlier levels you’ve cleared to grind money for the harder level. So you are essentially stuck unless you pay real money for coins. The game also forces you to use coins to purchase “flights” to travel and expand the spa to other countries. Which worsens the issues from before. The game is so greedy. This problem should not exist if you’ve already paid for the spa assistants, but it does.
The levels are also impossibly difficult in and of itself. Customers come in pairs, locking out regions of the spa until you perform their complicated service requests. In the meantime, other customers come in, starting with only 1 patience bar, lose it in seconds, and leave in a rage. It is insane that with how many customers come in at once that the patience level doesn’t start between 4-5 bars. Especially because many levels are designed where if you lose even one customer, you will lose the level no matter what. Overall, do not play this because it’s a waste of your time. No matter how hard you try, it is rigged so you lose.

Money grabbing
The old Sally’s Salon’s and other games were my childhood so I was so excited to download one of them and reminisce. And then I opened the app to be greeted with constant notifications, items that used to be free such as the attendants now behind paywalls, and not being able to queue your actions past 2. So disappointing.

What happened?
I played this game all the time 13 years ago and I loved it. However, after installing it again recently, I was shocked to find out everything about this game has changed for the worse. The paywall, the time crunch and the overall strategy that you have to use to play completely ruined it.
