Out of boredom, and maybe a little masochism, I downloaded "Hello Kitty Beauty Salon" on my Android phone. It is free, and I believe also available for iOS. It contains all of the characters you'd expect from HK, plus a few I've never heard of (which is everyone but the title character and maybe the penguin-looking guy).
It's a pretty common gameplay style that you'll find across mobile games - customer comes in, you serve them, they pay, and they leave. You can find this gameplay for car shops and cafes and whatever else you like. This is pretty much a re-skin of a common gameplay type. It's free to download and they give you enough points to hire one helper, but you need to buy more points with real world money to hire more, which will probably limit your ability to advance at some point. Your other items can be upgraded with tokens earned ingame, so there is that. For some reason, all of the customers appear to be humans with bunny ears. I'm not sure why they need a hair stylist since they never remove the bunny hats.
In short, this game could kill some time waiting in the doctor's office of a boring ride on the train, but it does nothing spectacular that you couldn't find elsewhere, so if you're a Hello Kitty fan, you might get a kick out of downloading this. If you're not, and can get over the excessive pink inherent to the HK franchise, it's worth playing to kill a few moments if it just happens to be on your phone or whatever device you're playing.
And as a prank, it's fun to "share" it with a friend who might freak out that you sent him Hello Kitty.
