Peachy Deegan had no idea how to Wii, so we thank another Deegan for bringing his wii to us and playing with the fun new Redken game! Peachy Deegan DOES know all about hair and we have written about Redken so many times....so she became a virtual Rodney Cutler. Now consumers can sharpen their professional edge and virtually experience the life of a salon professional! An industry first – Redken teams up with Game Publisher, Little Orbit LLC on Busy Scissors®, a hairstyling and simulation video game scheduled for release on Nintendo Wii™ and DS™ in North America and Europe. Wii Style Hair!
Did you know…
- Advergaming is the fastest growing branded entertainment segment climbing at a compound annual growth rate of 51.7% since 2002.
- 46% of all adults play electronic games (median age is 36 years old)
- 135 million teen and adult gamers in the US spend on average 3 - 4 hours per week.
Redken’s Busy Scissors®, the new “life simulation” game allows consumers to perm, color, shampoo, cut, blow dry, and style hair! Players earn reputation and advance their career in a Hollywood based salon by meeting the demands of their glamorous and eccentric clientele. We'd say it is also possible it could be in Manhattan....
The game progresses as they help unlock each client’s inner potential by finding their unique outward style. The game features over 25 hairstyles, 20 mini-games, 6 career levels, and 4 game modes, which provide a dynamic combination of realistic gameplay, humor, and entertainment. It was a lot of fun and as you progress to hair cutting, that is the most fun part we found. You pick the client, you buy tools and you take walk ins to earn more money...it becomes intuitive as you play it longer and we recommend you sit a good distance away and sit straight on. Of course you want to say complimentary comments to the clients, and even as you make mistakes it is funny as it's not real life. Peachy did burn some clients with the hot iron...ha ha! We think this game would be most coveted by teenage girls but it is fun for all!
