beauty salon

Hair and nails

A beauty salon is a business where customers receive cosmetic treatments—haircuts, styling, manicures, facials, and similar services.

The term emphasizes a broader range of services than a barbershop or hair salon alone: She spent the afternoon at the beauty salon getting her hair and nails done.

Also called a beauty parlor or beauty shop.
