Wash, cut, color and style with your fingers. Grow one chair into the salon everyone books.
You start with one velvet chair in the back room of a friend's shop. Wash, cut, fade, color and pin real hair with your fingers, keep a row of clients happy, and grow it into the salon everyone books.
The Velvet Chair is a hair salon and barber shop game where the hair really changes. Every head is drawn from numbers, so when you cut along a line the strands fall, when you fade the sides the skin shows through, and when you paint in color it stays. Each look is a short run of hands-on steps, every step gets a grade, and the client walks out with one to three stars.
Coins and reputation buy chairs, stations, tools, staff and decor, and new looks open up as you go. The lookbook holds 62 looks, from a Trim and a Buzz Cut to Balayage, a Skin Fade and a Bridal Updo, plus 10 signature looks taught by regulars. It's free and runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Tap Open the salon and clients sit down. Each ticket shows the look they want, a mood badge and a patience bar that runs from green to red. Tap a client to start, or press Space to take whoever has the least patience left. The steps happen in the middle of the screen, with a hint at the bottom and the goal look in a brass frame in the corner. Then comes the before and after, the stars, and the payment.
