Makeover stories, haircut scenes and getting ready for a date are some of the most popular roleplay themes in Sakura School Simulator. For years, though, a character's hairstyle was effectively locked once you picked them.

That changed with the update that added the beauty salon. This guide is based on the official version notes Garusoft publishes on the Sakura School Simulator App Store page, which list every update with its version number and release date.

Quick answer: To change hair in Sakura School Simulator, open the change clothes menu during the game and pick a new hairstyle. The option has existed since version 1.041.14 (October 30, 2023), the same update that added the beauty salon, but it does not work for some characters.

When Was the Beauty Salon Added?

According to the App Store version history, the beauty salon was added in version 1.041.14, released on October 30, 2023. The same notes are repeated for the follow-up version 1.041.15 on November 4, 2023. Android players received the matching update through Google Play around the same time.

The salon was part of a large update that also added a camp site, two cheerleader outfits, swimsuits for boys and girls, and new hairstyles for both.

How to Change Hair Mid-Game

The key change in that update was the ability to switch hairstyles without restarting. Garusoft's note reads: "Can change the character's hair when changing clothes during the game (Except for some characters)."

Two later fixes matter here. Version 1.042.10 (April 17, 2024) made the hair ribbon color changeable, and version 1.043.22 (December 21, 2024) fixed a bug where the hair color reverted to its original color after changing hair mid-game and returning to the title screen.

Salon Props and Poses

For salon scenes, version 1.041.14 added items you can hold or place through the item menu, plus a dedicated beauty salon pose. Combined with pose mode, a haircut or blow-dry scene looks far more convincing in screenshots and videos.
