Hairdressers undertake work that creates a more permanent change in the appearance of their clients. This includes haircuts, chemical treatments, permanent hair extensions, and hair colouring. They can also do hair styling, or hand over the client to a hairstylist. Hairstylists primarily do temporary styling of hair.

A hair salon is a business that provides clients with a variety of hair-related services. Haircutting, regular and formal styling, chemical treatments (color, highlights, perms, and keratin treatments), hair and scalp treatments, and beard and mustache shaping are all included.

Audrey's (previously Alma's) was a hair salon located at number 2 Coronation Street which was opened by Audrey Roberts in 1998. She ran the business successfully until 2018 when her shares were bought by Maria Connor and Claudia Colby.
