Sally’s Spa Review
I think I’ve found an answer to all of our economy woes… It’s Time Management. If you just get all of your customers to the right spot before they get unhappy they’ll keep coming and they’ll tip you a lot of money. Every business just needs to mange their time better.
At least that’s what I’ve learned from Sally.
A few months ago I picked up Sally’s Salon and helped her take her hair salon business to the top – all without in money coming my way I might add. And now Sally has decided that her salons have done so well that when the opportunity to buy a run down spa on the beach in California she can’t resist. And now we move from Sally’s Salon to Sally’s Spa – well, at least the marketing should be easy.
Yes… it’s a time management game. You’re job is to move customers from station to station and keep them happy until you have their money and they’re out the door. Sally will be on her toes as she moves from reception to saunas to facials to massage tables to… well you get the picture.
Your customers loose patience the more they wait so you have to get them from area to area before they get so upset that they leave. Keeping a good eye for depleting hearts (showing how happy they are) and making sure that you don’t get to overloaded in bottleneck areas is the key to keeping Sally in the money.
Along the way you’ll be able to buy new products and upgrade older ones that will help speed things up, and keep everyone happy. You can also hire additional help and even upgrade their clothing that somehow helps them move faster.
Another way to make money is by selling product. This is a nice RPG element to the game because you have to keep an eye on what is selling before you buy products from your rep. Making the right choices will go along way towards lining your coffers in gold… or at least bronze, as in tanning lotion.
The game has added a few mini-games to break things up and this really helps. They’re not particularly tough games, but they do add a nice little bump in the road and makes you break out up your routine and that’s what keep you on your toes.
If you’ve played Sally’s Salon you already know that Sally likes her games to look good and with the opening of a Spa things stay the course. There is a lot on the screen in Sally’s Spa, but everything is recognizable and you can actually get the feeling of a business going through its day-to-day operations.
Sounds are also crisp in the game as everything from background music to the customers have sounds that add to the game. And, as Sally gets more successful, you open up new locations all around the world. This comes with new sounds and a floor plan for your spas.
There are a lot of levels in the game and with them come new customers with different demands. This game is very challenging… probably more challenging than owning an actual spa. But it’s also a lot of fun.
Sally’s Spa is a great addition to the series. From the looks to the game play, Sally sure knows how to do Time Management right. Sure it may not be as relaxing as a day at the spa, but if you’re up for a good challenge with your gaming… put your hand in Sally’s and get ready fro a wild ride.

I think I just found a game that defines perfectly as a girl’s game. This game is called Sally’s Spa!
this looks pretty cool. good idea, but i won’t be getting it
looks cool, fun time management game.
my cousin wanted me to get a game like this.
I was looking for a new simulation game, this fits the bill perfectly
This TM game looks neat! I haven’t tried any of these type of games yet. Thanks for the review!
looks like a lot of fun. I always enjoy a day at the spa.
fun looking sim
i love playing sally’s salon but i beat it so im looking for some new sally! This could fill my craving it sounds like!
Looks like an awesome time management game. I like the other sally games and this one looks good too.
like the graphics and the gameplay
but i really never played such a genre before
i thought those games are for kids or just stupid
but i have to say: this review changed my mind
those games are really addictive and have long-time fun!!!
i have to look at sally’s salon now, too….
This sounds like a very good spa game. It has been ages since I go for my spa treatment. I should show this game to the spa’s staff to let them see how fast and efficient sally spa treats their “customers”.
this sounds like a really good time management game from the review. There arent any cons according to you guys so it sounds awesome.
time management game are up there on my list (next to RPG) which normally go hand and hand.
i enjoy some time management games from time to time, but i have to say they get really stressful, sometimes to the point of where its not fun. This looks really good though.
I’m actually a big fan of time management games.
Well said in terms of “not as relaxing as a day at the spa!” lol
I just noticed something: sally’s salon is made by realarcade, while sally’s spa is made by games cafe. Is that legal?
The game has trademarks for both games so it’s possible that these are the same people… just a different name. The look and feel of the game is very much like Sally’s Salon.
Some may think this is girly (which the graphics make it seem) but it’s really a good time management game (I’m basing this all on the first one because I don’t have this) that entertains for a while.
Woo for TM games. I can’t get enough of them.
i love TM AND TYCOON games. thats y i picked up space trader chocolatier recenlty. this is great. hopefully upgrades wont run out very fast.
I don’t have sally’s salon but personally from the pictures this seems kinda girly. Maybe it’s just me though…
Wait… Are you saying that you’re girly?
I kid… I kid…
Looks like a great game, but I’ll pass. Trying to keep customers happy is what I do on a daily basis. I’d rather use my iPhone to shoot zombies. Now, if I was a professional zombie hunter, I’d probably pick up this game.
That’s what we need… A TM game about Zombie Killing!
Wow this game looks amazing!!! I have sallys salon and i am addicted to it but this looks even better!
i hope i will get a code pleaseee i would love to try it out and see how good it is. 
The graphics and functions of this game look top-notch; it’s just too bad that I don’t enjoy these games too much.
sweet. I love time management.
At first I saw this and was thinking I am not so sure but after the video I have to say I am rather impressed no wonder I keep seeing things about this game.
wow! this game looks even better than sallys salon and i loved that game i hope i get this!
I liked Sally’s Salon and other time management games, and this looks just as good, if not better.
