Devilish Hairdresser is a series of online games published by Spil Games.
There are two types of gameplay in the series:
- The main games, in which you typically play as the Devilish Hairdresser (though occasionally you control a different character). These games play like Red Light, Green Light; your goal is to mess up the client's style, but only when the Angelic Hairdresser isn't looking.
- A series of Spot the Difference games, which usually tell a short story about the Devilish Hairdresser messing with the Angelic Hairdresser herself.
Devilish Tropes:
- Achievement Mockery: In some of the games, you can get an achievement called "Angel Wannabe", which is unlocked by losing ten times.
- Adaptation Dye-Job:
- In Devilish Pet Salon, the Angel and Devil are pink-haired and brunette with red spiral horns and differing bangs, respectively. They also get palette swaps of their outfit colors, with Angel in a white dress and Devil's outfit now in red.
- In Devilish Stylist, the Devil has silver hair in drill twintails and her usual dress having been split into a crop top and skirt with the same colors as her dress from Hairdresser. Interestingly as well, unlike in "Hairdresser" and "Pet Salon", she also wears a horned headband instead of sporting actual spiral horns of either beige or red color like her previous looks.
- A Day in the Limelight: Devilish Cooking gives the player the option to play as the Angel, though they can also choose to play as the Devil as usual.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: The Angel's Achilles' Heel is her short attention span. She will often turn away from her work to make a coffee, look at some books, or talk on the phone, which gives the Devil time to mess with her clients. If the player chooses to play as the Angel in Devilish Cooking, the Devil will display the same behavior though it's downplayed as the points where she starts to turn around are also accompanied by a sly smirk which only gets bigger if she actually catches Angel, hinting that she may just be mockingly copying her angel accomplice's usual ditzy nature and is subtly encouraging her to also be rebellious.
- Christmas Episode: Devilish Christmas, in which the Devil becomes a Bad Santa to mess with the Angel.
- Color Failure: This happens to you when you get caught ruining the client's hairstyle, as well as the Angel if you win.
- Disproportionate Retribution: The Game Over screen shows the Devil locked up in "Angel Prison" for merely attempting to mess up the client's hair. If the player chooses to play as the Angel in Devilish Cooking, she will instead be sent to Devil Prison upon losing, again for the petty "crime" of decorating the food the way she wanted.
- Evil Redhead: In Devilish Hairdresser, the Devil has red hair, in contrast to the blonde Angel.
- Formula-Breaking Episode:
- In Devilish Cat, you play as a cat, and your goal is to eat as much as possible without getting caught. Additionally, while the first half of the game has you keeping an eye on the Angel as normal, in the second half, it's the Devil you must watch out for.
- Devilish Cooking, as the title suggests, is a cooking game which plays similarly to Sara's Cooking Class. Once you get to the decorating part, the game goes back to its usual Red Light, Green Light style. In this game, you can also choose to play as the Angel or the Devil.
- Green Is Gross: The liquid the Devil puts in the Angel's date's food is green, and the dish later emits sickly green smoke when consumed.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: The Angel is blonde in Hairdresser and Stylist, which is a noticeable contrast to the red-haired Devil.
- Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The Devilish Hairdresser (Dark Feminine) and the Angelic Hairdresser (Light Feminine).
- Pink Means Feminine: The Angel always wears pink.
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: In Devilish Pet Salon, the Angel has pink hair.
- Tampering with Food and Drink: In the Valentine's Day Episode, the Devil puts something nasty in the food that the Angel is making, which makes her date sick.
- Valentine's Day Episode: Devilish Valentine, where the Devil turns her attention on the Angel's date.
- Villain Protagonist: In most games, you control the Devil, who is out to screw over the clients of the Angel.
