I'd too regard craft=hairdresser as an uncommon combination. Any votes 
against removing craft=hairdresser from the list of common values?

I see a differenct between producing handicraft work (craft=handicraft) 
and selling it (shop=handicraft). If both is located in a single place, 
there's no problem in dual-tagging with both keys.

I don't see a locksmith as a shop, even if it's usually called like 
that. In german it's called dienst (service) so it should maybe be 
office=locksmith but that doesn't match it either.

Looking at the tag definition, it would be a craft because it's creating 
custom-made things.

My arguments for keeping them are similar to those above for 
shop/craft=handicraft. There are always two parts involved: one is 
producing and one is selling. Sometimes one is more important and 
sometimes the other one. If both are similar important, there's no 
problem with adding both tags.
