Badge tips

For Diva Doggies or Give Your Dog a Bone, you can click a bone as soon as someone with a doggie sits down. Be sure to click a bone before clicking the hair its owner wants.

For badges requiring specific hair colors, switch difficulty levels or hit New Game if you don't see any hairdos of the color you need when the game starts, as each game uses different sets of colors. Keep doing that until you see some of your required color on the conveyor belt, then focus on clicking them when requested before delivering other hair color orders. Also be sure to wait for a hairstyle to come along in your required color when a customer will take any color (indicated with a specific style and a question mark). Move as many customers as you can between deliveries in your required color to get more chances for requests in the color you need.

For Supermodel or Hair Over Heels, you have to buy your way to the Bonus Show with Upgrades. Each trip to the bonus game costs $3,500. You don't have to complete it or be successful for these badges, just get to it.

For Shampoodle or Speedy Salon, use the hardest difficulty level that you can play well to maximize tips. Try to nudge it to the next hardest level for Days 1 & 2, then back for the rest of the week. As you get faster, up the difficulty again.

For Robot Receptionist, you'll be able to serve more customers with the Robot and Mind Control power-ups. You also get more potential customers per round on harder difficulty levels, but you must serve one correctly to clear her out and get the next.

The Robot Receptionist badge must be completed "in three days" - those are real days, not game days.

Game tips

ALWAYS read a game's How to Play, and also check for a Hints or Tips tab and/or Tutorial. They do help! Click to watch the Makeover Madness tutorial.

All you need to do here is seat customers and give them the hairstyle, color or accessory they want.

Ranking up is based on the number of customers served, but you must earn enough in a day to complete it and move on. Jackpot spins come along after five successful days.

Wrong clicks will reduce the tip amounts for all seated customers so be careful. You can usually make one mistake without penalty but the more wrong clicks you make, the faster your potential pay will go down.

You get paid more for seating customers right away and for serving them quickly. You get more for "celebrities" (in fur scarves & shades) but their pay drops faster if they wait, so seat & serve them first.

You can click on a bone as soon as you seat someone with a doggie to keep it quiet, but you don't get the bone bonus unless you give it after the doggie starts barking.

You also get bonuses for completing multi-item requests and for using items from the third row.

Power-ups can be bought when you have enough money but they only last a short time. You can only have one of each type activated.

Slow Time calms things down for a second when the pace gets too hectic. Each Slow Time must be activated and can only be used once.

Mind Control causes customers to make their selection as soon as they're seated. Robot Receptionist seats customers right away so you only have to click their requests. Mind Control and Robot both let you make more tips but each lasts only three days, so buy & use them for the trickier 3rd, 4th & 5th days if you're low on funds.

You can't keep more than $6,000. If you get close to that amount, stock up on power-ups. You can buy more than one Slow Time and use them when convenient. You can also stock up on Mind Control or Robot Receptionists but they will be used consecutively.

The Bonus Show is a memory game and doesn't award any power-ups or game progress, just bonus tokens - up to 400 - if you complete it successfully.

Be careful with colors. If someone holds up a question mark with a color name, you can give them any style in that color. But if they show a picture of a style in green and the word BLUE, you'd give them the style shown in blue. (Selecting a color shown rather than a color name is a common error of human nature.)

Rank progress is faster on harder levels, but they can quickly turn into the "I Love Lucy" chocolate factory episode. Experiment with different difficulty settings on different days to see what's comfortable for you and what will get you enough money to keep buying the Robot and Mind Control. Play Days 1 & 2 on harder settings, then move back to an easier level to finish the week.

More about Makeover Madness

This game has six difficulty levels including three above Hard: Expert, Insane and Holy Cow! If you find the game too easy, try a round on Holy Cow! and you'll gladly go back to your comfort level.

The clock on the wall gives you an idea how far through the day you are. No more customers will come in after the end-of-day chimes.

It seems as if the days won/lost, customer count, and Bonus Shows might not be quite accurate. Also, stats appear in different order at different times.

This game is similar to Crazy Cakes.

This game had a very long wait between being announced as "coming soon" and being released.

This game ranks up very slowly, even on the lower ranks.
