In the “Belle’s Beauty Boutique” game, Bell is finally opening her dream beauty boutique. Of course, you’ll be representing Bell in this game and your mission is to succeed in this adventure, keeping the customers happy and making the most profits you can.
A cards-styled help will show you how to play, fast and easy. You will have to do everything between welcoming the customers to collecting money for services. First of all, a client comes to the shop and ask for a specific kind of beauty treatment. You have to drag them to the correct chair to get started. Two options are available: Hair chair, for hair related treatments; and Nail chair, for nail related treatments. Once the customer is in the correct chair, they’ll choose a color and you’ll have to pick it up from the pallet. You better pick the correct color or they will be really mad. You also have to clean the chairs when they’re dirty, otherwise you won’t be able to use them.
