A hair salon is a commercial establishment that provides cosmetology services related to hair. These services can include cutting, coloring, styling, and treating hair. Salons often also offer other beauty services such as manicures, pedicures, waxing, and facials. The specific services offered can vary greatly depending on the salon, with some specializing in particular areas like advanced color techniques or natural hair care.

Hair salons are typically staffed by licensed cosmetologists who have undergone training in hair care and styling. They use a variety of tools and products, including scissors, clippers, combs, brushes, hair dryers, curling irons, straighteners, shampoos, conditioners, styling creams, gels, and hairsprays. The atmosphere in a hair salon can range from a casual neighborhood spot to a high-end luxury establishment.

The primary purpose of a hair salon is to enhance a client's appearance and well-being through hair care. Clients visit salons for a wide range of reasons, from routine haircuts and maintenance to significant style transformations or preparation for special occasions. Many salons also offer consultations to advise clients on the best styles and treatments for their hair type, face shape, and lifestyle. The hair salon industry is a significant part of the personal care services sector.
