About Glow Up

Glow Up is a hair salon game built from your own study notes. A customer walks in with overgrown hair and sits down in your chair. Before you know what they want, you answer a question from your study set. Then a look card appears on the mirror: maybe a bubblegum pink bob with a bow, maybe long honey blonde hair with glasses and freckles.

You do every makeover with your own hands. Rub your finger over the hair to work the shampoo into a foam, then rinse it away. Pick a cut from the rack and tap the scissors on the hair three times: a tuft falls with each snip and the third one finishes the cut. Choose a dye bowl and brush the color on until the hair is covered. Open the drawer to add accessories like a headband or glasses, and finish with blush, lipstick, freckles or sparkle.

The scissors, the dye bar and the accessory drawer each open with a question. If you get one wrong, you see the right answer and a short explanation, then you get a different question. Miss that one too and Coco, the senior stylist, opens the station for you, so you are never stuck. Questions you missed come back a little later as a Second chance, and the end of each day lists them so you can review.

Nothing in the salon is timed. When you are done, tap Reveal!: the chair spins round, the camera flashes and you see the before and after. The look card ticks off every item you matched, so you always know why you got your stars. Right answers on the first try earn tips, and a streak of them doubles or triples the tips. Every makeover is saved in your Lookbook. Five customers make a day. Spend your coins between days on new cuts like curls, braids and space buns, dyes from mint to rainbow, accessories like a beret or a crown, and salon decor that brings in bigger tips.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Glow Up timed?

No. Nothing in Glow Up is timed. The salon waits while a question is on screen, and you can take as long as you like on every step of a makeover.

What happens if I answer a question wrong?

You see the right answer and an explanation, then you get a different question for the same station. If you miss that one too, Coco the senior stylist opens the station for you. You lose the tip for that question and your streak starts over.

How do I get three stars?

Match the look card: the right cut, the right color, and the accessories and face touches it shows. After the reveal, the card shows a tick or a cross next to each item, so you can see what to change next time. Even a messy makeover gets one star and some coins.

What can I buy with coins?

New cuts like curls, braids, an afro or a mohawk, new dyes like pink, mint, silver and rainbow, accessories like a flower, a beret or a crown, and salon decor like a plant, a neon sign or a fish tank. Each decor item adds one coin to every customer's tip.

What is the Lookbook?

Every finished makeover is saved in your Lookbook, so you can look back at all the styles you have made.

Can I play Glow Up on my phone?

Yes. It is made for touch: rub, tap and brush right on the hair. It also works with a mouse on a computer.
