I saw that in the German Forum. My main issue with this is that it is a 
shop in the first place.

So if at all I would think of somthing like amenity=beauty_salon, but...

While that is certainly true, there are also many which don't (e.g.

If i tag that with beauty then the tag on its own becomes basically 
worthless and you will always need a beauty= or beauty:tanning=yes.

Although again I don't think it is a shop, but should be craft=
