Salon- A place or shop where you can get hair service or all hair care facility . Saloon- A Public room or building which is used for a specific purpose.

The end of the 1800s saw the transition from barbershops to salons all over the world.

A self-made entrepreneur Martha Matilda Harper opened the first public salon called 'The Harper Hair Parlor' in 1888 in Rochester, NY using her life savings of $360. She invented the salon recliner chair and she started training schools, employing the trainees in her salon.

The key difference between barbershops and salons is the types of services they offer. Barbershops are more specialized, providing haircuts, shaves, and beard trims for men. Salons offer a broader range of services for both men and women, including coloring, highlights, and extensions.
