Salon

Progressive news site

A salon is a room for receiving guests, especially an elegant one in a large house.

The word extends to gatherings held in such rooms—intellectual or artistic discussions hosted by a prominent figure.

A salon is also a business offering personal services: a hair salon, nail salon, or beauty salon.

In art, Salon (often capitalized) refers to the official exhibitions of the French Academy, which shaped artistic taste for centuries.
