Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Braid Salon at 4.5 against Hair Makeover's 3.2. Braid Salon also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (20K vs 18). Hair Makeover's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 47%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hair Makeover sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Braid Salon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Braid Salon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Braid Salon has 20K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Hair Makeover's written reviews are positive against 47% of Braid Salon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hair Makeover ships an update every 5 months, Braid Salon every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
