coiffeurs

Salon cutting experts

Coiffeurs is the plural of coiffeur, a somewhat fancy word for a hairdresser or barber, borrowed from French.

The term carries connotations of skill and artistry in hair styling, suggesting someone who does more than simply cut hair.

The coiffeurs at that salon charge a fortune but the results are worth it.

The feminine form coiffeuse exists but is rarely used in English.
