While some might say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, most of us know the value of looking good in public. Whether in pixels or in person, being a carefully-groomed Habbo might be make the difference between looking hot or looking like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed with an elephant dancing on your head.

But where do you go to get a perfectly coiffed coiffure? Or get your hands and feet pampered and polished until they shine? At your favourite beauty salon, natch! Unfortunately, we've been looking for one in Habbo for the past few days, and nothing's quite hit the mark yet.

So now we're asking Habbos to build a beauty salon (small room, 25 Habbos max) and make sure there's ample waiting room space. After all, nobody wants to be standing up when someone's doing their nails. Send in your room screenshot, along with your Habbo name and a 50-word description of your salon and why we should go and visit it. Send your entry over to competitions.sg [at] sulake.com with the email header 'Makeover Madness'.

The top 5 beauty salon owners will be entered into a top-secret competition on Thursday where we'll put your skills to the test. Please note that if you are selected as one of the 5 Habbo salon owners, you need to be present at the event on Thursday or you'll forfeit your chances of vying for the top prize.

All 5 beauty salon owners will receive a Sack of Credits, a Rising Star badge, and 3 Habbo Points. However, the winner of the secret salon showdown will receive:

- a Gold Bar
- the Mega Star badge
- 1 month's Habbo Club membership
- 5 Habbo Points

So show us what you've got and send over your salon no later than 1 July, and we'll be announcing the top 5 salon owners the next day. :) In the meantime, let me wash this purple dye out of my hair.
