<p><font face="Verdana">This is an excellent opportunity to
reconsider the shop=hairdresser and shop=beauty. Both
hairdresser and beauty refer more to an amenity key (cultural
and social) or a craft key (service / skilled work). <br>
A hairdresser or a beauty shop is in most cases not a place
where I go to buy something, but where I go to get a service
from a craftsmen and/or go for social interaction.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">My preference would go to amenity = salon.<br>
</font>A salon is an establishment offering cosmetic treatments
for men and women. Salon is also called beauty parlour or beauty
salon. Beauty salons offer many treatments including, hair
treatments, skin treatments, facial aesthetics, aromatherapy, foot
care and nail manicures. Actually, in most African and Asian
countries, most "hairdressers" offer a mix of these services and
might even offer some food and bar like services. African women
take from morning till evening to get their hair done, most also
of course because it's an excellent opportunity to have their
endless chats with their friends and have their nailes done at the
same time. Strictly male salons, similar to barber shops also
exist here. Although they cut or shave you, they often have a
small bar, or a pool table, a good excuse for men to socialise and
have their hair or beard done while actually they just want a
known and popular place to go to to socialise with their friends
and have a beer or play some pool. <br>
In the Middle-East, most muslim countries the divide men / women
has more religious and cultural foundations, also in the names of
these faculties, where it is often, also due to language
differences, difficult to find a suitable OSM tag. There a barber
is strictly for men, a salon or hairdresser for women.</p>
<p>Sometimes there are specialized salons dealing with specialized
treatments such as hair salons and nail salons. Some main
treatments offered at a full-service salon include haircuts, hair
colouring, hair styling (straightening, perm, etc.), hair removal
(waxing, threading, etc.), massages, facials, cleanups, manicures,
and pedicures, hydrotherapy, and micro-pigmentation.<br>
This is mostly the case In Western countries ? However , in OSM
this is split in hairdresser and separate beauty top-level shop
values. It makes it very inviting for people to use multiple nodes
just to be able to tag them as places where mostly a variety of
the beauty services are delivered.<br>
It also makes it difficult to distinguish places where they just
sell "hair" products and / or other beauty products, or even a
specialised shop where they sell "hairdresser" tools, which would
be shops in the pure sense.</p>
<p>So I would suggest to create amenity=salon and use a secondary
key salon=barber or barber_shop / hairdresser / nail / etc... .
Redefine shop=hairdresser for shops primary selling hairdresser
tools and accessories, shop=hair for shops that primarily sell
hair treatment products, or for the Africans weaves etc...<br>
A salon that offers different services can then easily be used on
a single node:</p>
<p>amenity = salon<br>
salon=barber;hairdresser;nails<br>
shop = hair<br>
etc....</p>

<div>If I were looking for a place to get a haircut, it's
better if we can query one tag. However, traditional
barbershops are culturally different from other hair salons
/ hairdressers and there are people that personally prefer
the barbershop "experience". Further, there are places that
style themselves as a barber shop, but will also cut women's
hair, though they may lack the more comprehensive services
traditionally associated with women's hair styles. I see
this distinction as similar to the "cuisine" tag that we
apply to restaurants, and I'd support a tag that
distinguishes barber shops from other types of hair
establishments *within* the shop=hairdresser tag.</div>
