coif

Salon's finished product

A coif is a close-fitting cap, historically worn under a knight's helmet or by nuns and other religious figures.

The word now most often refers to a hairstyle, especially an elaborate or carefully arranged one: She emerged from the salon with a perfect coif.

To coif is to style hair: freshly coifed for the gala.
