hairdressers

They cut hair

Hairdressers are people who cut, style, and treat hair professionally.

The term is more common in British English, where Americans tend to say hair stylists or, for women's hair specifically, beauticians.

A hairdresser's is the shop where they work: I have an appointment at the hairdresser's.
