hair salon

Where cuts happen

A hair salon is a business where people get haircuts, styling, coloring, and other hair treatments.

The term emphasizes a full-service establishment rather than a simple barbershop: She has an appointment at the hair salon this afternoon.

Salon alone often suffices when context is clear.
