Wednesday Addams Beauty Salon

Spa tools cover a tray beside the chair as soon as Wednesday Addams Beauty Salon loads, cotton pads and a tub of dark cream lined up above a cleansing brush. The first click is usually a skin step, not a lipstick, wiping a blemish or a smudge off the character's face before any styling starts. That order carries through the whole session, treatments first, then hair and color layered on top.

Past the spa tray the salon splits into hair, nails and face categories. Hair covers a tight double braid, loose waves and a severe center part, each with a clip or ribbon to add after. Nails run through a rack of dark polish, a plain black to a deep plum with spiderweb decals, and the face section has pale foundation, black eyeliner and a couple of blush shades that read more gray than pink. Everything layers, so a braid takes a ribbon and a full face takes brows, liner and lipstick in that order.

This makeover game treats the skin like a problem to fix before any styling counts, running spa steps before hair or makeup instead of the other way around. A session ends with the finished face and hair shown in a close-up shot instead of a full-body pose, keeping the focus on the salon work instead of an outfit.

Run through every spa tool first, since skipping one sometimes locks it out once you move on. Pair the pale foundation with the plum nail polish instead of the black, the lighter face makes the dark accents on the nails and eyes read instead of blending into a wall of black. The center-part hairstyle photographs sharper in the close-up ending than the loose waves do, since the tighter style holds its shape once the camera pulls in.
