beauty parlor

Hair and nails

A beauty parlor is an establishment where people—traditionally women—receive cosmetic treatments such as hairstyling, manicures, and facials.

The term sounds dated; most Americans now say salon or hair salon.

My grandmother went to the beauty parlor every Saturday morning.
