Barber Chop

Barber Chop is a game where you work as a barber and invent hairstyles for a varied cast. The roster has 28 characters of different ages, looks and cultural backgrounds, plus three holiday characters. You can rotate the head to cut and design the hair on every side.

Your tools are clippers, scissors, razors and clip guards. The guards reduce hair thickness, which gives the gradual blend known as a fade, and a razor removes hair completely or shaves the face. You also get zoom for precise work, an undo button, music options and an on-screen timer that shows how long a hairstyle took. A finished look can be saved to your photo album or shared, and the game has a feed of designs by other players.

It suits anyone with a creative streak, and beginner stylists can use it as a practice tool. All you need is a finger and some imagination; turn the sound on to hear the tools at work. The game is free to play.
