Thanks,Difference between an hair salon and barber shop?
1st of all you said ';barber shops';;then you said';normal haircutting shop';!There is only one name for BARBER SHOP...... the term means a place where men/boys go for a normal haircut. Hair Salons.....term means a place where women/men go for hair styling;perms;color etc.Difference between an hair salon and barber shop?
The commonly-thought of difference between a hair salon and a barber shop is that hair salons are for women, barber shops are for men.





And between a salon and a place like Great Clips? Usually salons are more high-class, with a broader range of services by more experienced cosmetologists. Unless they're posing. ;)
Hi.. it seems to be same meaning.. but two different way to spel it.. or just to attract customers...in different way..!! customer satisfaction and attraction.. both shop they just cut our hair.. but in a variety of styles..!!!


In the sence that 'V' loose our hair.. but the shop keeper gains money...!!
i may be wrong, but i think a salon is more for women where they do shampooing and hairdrying, perms, etc.. and a barber shop is where men generally go, for just your basic shave or cut.
