salons
Where stylists work
Salons are establishments where people receive hair styling, beauty treatments, or similar personal services: hair salon, nail salon, tanning salon.
The word also refers to elegant rooms for receiving guests, or to gatherings of intellectuals and artists hosted by a prominent figure—a usage that evokes 18th-century Parisian culture.
She held a literary salon every Thursday evening.
