What Is a Hairdressing Salon?
A hairdressing salon is a business that focuses on cutting, coloring and styling customers’ hair. Many hairdressing salons are located in shopping areas in towns and cities. Smaller salons may have several hairdressers, while a large salon may employ dozens of hair stylists. The services offered at a hairdressing salon may include nails, makeup and skin care as well as hair cutting, coloring and styling. Most hairdressing salons have a reception desk and a waiting area near the front door. The more upscale, trendy and expensive salons tend to require customers to have an appointment, while the budget chain hair shops usually don’t. The décor also varies widely between an expensive and an inexpensive hair salon.
