Hair Dye

Review by eFreeware

Not everyone wants a game that asks for hours of attention. Sometimes you want something you can open for a few minutes, do one small creative task and put away again. That is the space Hair Dye occupies: a free salon game from CrazyLabs LTD where the whole point is mixing colors and giving customers new hair.

The premise is easy to grasp. Customers arrive at your salon wanting a hairstyle, a haircut and a color, and you work through those requests. The developer frames it as a rainbow hair color changer challenge, and that framing tells you most of what you need to know about the tone.

It has been a popular download, with over 100 million installs and a 4.4 average from more than 343,000 ratings. It came out in May 2021 and was still being updated in May 2026, so it is not a title that was abandoned after launch. It is free, it carries ads, and there are no in-app purchases to consider.

What makes it different from a standard salon game

Most makeover games hand you a palette and let you pick a color. Hair Dye is built around mixing instead. You combine dyes to produce the shade you want, which turns a simple choice into a small experiment. If you mix something ugly, you mix again. That loop of trying, adjusting and landing on a color is the part that stands out.

The rainbow angle pushes this further. The developer pitches the game as the number one rainbow hair color changer challenge, and the emphasis on vivid, unnatural color runs through the whole idea. This is not a game about subtle highlights or a natural brunette. It is about saturated, attention-grabbing results.

Decorations are part of the package too. Once the color is on, you can add ornaments to finish the look. That extra step gives each customer more than one decision, so a session is not just one tap and done.

Mixing colors and dyeing hair

The core of the game is the dyeing itself. A customer comes in with a request, you work out which colors to combine, and you apply the result. The satisfaction comes from seeing whether your mixture matches what you had in mind.

Because mixing is the central action rather than a side option, the game rewards a bit of curiosity. You are encouraged to try combinations rather than reach for the obvious choice. That makes it a reasonable fit for players who like to fiddle and see what happens.

The developer describes a salon with plenty of customers waiting, so the structure appears to be a series of requests rather than one open canvas. Each one gives you a fresh chance to mix something new.

Hairstyles, haircuts and decorations

Color is only part of the job. You also choose the hairstyle and the haircut, which means each customer involves decisions about shape as well as shade. A short cut in a bold color reads very differently from long hair in the same dye, and the game lets you explore that contrast.

Once the hair is styled and colored, you can add decorations to complete the look. This is where the rainbow theme gets its finishing touch. The developer leans into fancy, colorful results, and the decoration step is what turns a dye job into something more playful.

Together these three elements — mix, style, decorate — form a short, repeatable routine. That is the shape of the game: not a long campaign, but a series of small creative tasks you can complete one after another.

How the game is supported

Hair Dye is free to download and supported by ads. There are no in-app purchases. For a casual title in this genre, that is a straightforward arrangement.

California residents can opt out of the sale of personal information through the settings page inside the app. That is a regional privacy option rather than a gameplay feature, but it is worth knowing it exists if it applies to you.

The most recent update was framed as a cleanup, with the developer saying troublemakers had been removed and that everything now runs smoother, faster and better, along with more exciting gameplay. That suggests ongoing attention rather than a title left to sit.

Who will enjoy this salon game

This is a game for people who like short, low-pressure creative sessions. If you enjoy choosing colors, experimenting with combinations and finishing a look, the mix-and-dye loop gives you exactly that in small doses. The content rating is Everyone, which fits the gentle subject matter.

It also suits players who prefer a casual game. Because there are no in-app purchases, the only thing you commit is your time.

The narrowness is part of the appeal. Hair Dye is built around one activity done well, and it is best approached as something to dip into rather than a world to live in. Players who want a broad simulation with many systems will find the scope here deliberately small.

A colorful pick for short creative sessions

Hair Dye knows what it is. It takes one idea — mixing colors to create rainbow hair — and builds a salon routine around it. The mixing mechanic gives it more texture than a simple color-picker, and the styling and decoration steps round out each customer visit.

The trade-offs are clear. It is a free, ad-supported game with no purchases. The focus on rainbow color and salon work means the scope is intentionally limited to that theme.

If you want a casual game that lets you experiment with color for a few minutes at a time, this is an easy one to try.
