Editors’ Rankings
TimetoPlayMag.com Ratings and Reviews
At TimetoPlayMag.com, we want to engage, inform and entertain our readers to give them the benefit of our knowledge, experience and the breadth of products we cover. We look at more than 10,000 new toys and children’s products every year, and our primary purpose is to help you make the best choices for the kids in your life.
Our goal is to give you the real story on what you’ll find when you bring a toy home. And we know that every kid and every family is different. That’s why we always say: “The hot toy is only hot if it’s hot for your child.”
Our editorial team has more than 100 years combined experience working in the toy industry. Our rating system ranks toys on 4 key criteria:
- Fun — Does it engage the child? Does it inspire imaginative play? Does it contribute to creative expression? Is it entertaining?
- Repeat Play OR Collectibility — Some toys are played with, some are collected. If we feel a toy is better suited for collectibility, we’ll rank it based on Collectibility instead of Repeat Play.
- Repeat Play — Will kids come back to it over time? Does the toy allow diverse imaginative play experiences? Does it provide longer-term play value?
- Collectibility — Some toys may have limited traditional play, but kids will treasure them as collectibles.
- Assembly/Instructions — Is the toy easy to assemble? Are the instructions clear?
Over the years we’ve learned a lot about what makes great toys and exciting play experiences. We want to help you create the best experiences for your kids and your family.
Ultimately, you’re the best judge of what you want to bring into your home — and what’s best for your kids. And because you’re an important part of the Time to Play family, we invite you to let us know if you ever find an error or have any ideas how we can better help you. After all, we exist for one reason: to help you have more fun!
What It Is
With the Barbie Hairtastic Color & Wash Salon, girls can reenact the hair salon experience at home. This playset comes with a Barbie doll, a salon chair, towel, smock, brush, salon station and mirrors, and hair ties. There are also three Hair Markers in purple, pink, and blue that girls can use to color Barbie's hair. Once girls finish coloring, they can actually shampoo and rinse Barbie's hair at the real-working salon station. There are containers on the back of the salon station—one for shampoo (You can use your own shampoo or bubble solution.) and one for water. Press the button to make shampoo come out of the spigot. Turn the button and press it again to make water come out. The used shampoo and water drain into a reservoir tank underneath the sink.
Why It’s Fun
One of the things girls love most about fashion dolls is the hair play. This playset offers interactive and creative hair play opportunities. Girls will like the realistic salon play and will want to style and wash Barbie's hair again and again.
Who It’s For
The Barbie Hairtastic Color & Wash Salon is for girls ages 5 and up.
What to Be Aware of
The Hair Markers may stain fabrics and other surfaces, so be careful to only use them on Barbie's hair.
Make sure you empty the reservoir tank when it's full. Because this toy requires shampoo and water, playtime might get a little messy. Set this up in an area where it's okay to get a little soapy and wet.
Shampoo is not included.
There is some assembly required.
