beauty parlour

Hair and nails

A beauty parlour is an establishment where people receive cosmetic treatments—haircuts, manicures, facials, and the like.

The spelling with *-our* is British; Americans write *beauty parlor*.

The term sounds somewhat dated; *salon* or *beauty salon* has largely replaced it in contemporary usage.
