A salon is a place where people go to receive beauty and personal care services, such as haircuts, hairstyling, manicures, pedicures, facials, and other treatments. Salons can specialize in hair care (hair salons), skin care (beauty salons), or a combination of services (full-service salons or spas).

The term salon can also refer to a gathering of intellectuals, artists, or writers who discuss ideas, literature, and art, historically popular in Europe, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries.
