What's the difference between a barbershop, hairdresser's, beauty salon exactly?

Question:HAs the word barbershop become oldfashioned? Is it not used anymore in English?

Answers:
Babershop refers to a mans hairdresser, a ladies is traditionaly called a hairdresser. A beauty salon does more than just hair. The real difference is the amount they charge
A barbershop - generally for male-only haircuts & shaves beards. Not usually for 'style' cuts. As far as I know the word is still in use, I live on the gold coast and there are PLENTY barbers around - in most shopping centres actually!

Hairdressers - hair stylists that do style cuts, shampoo & blow dry, perms, hairstyles/updos, colour etc. For both male and female. Higher prices than a barbershop however prices range from relatively cheap to very expensive. Sometimes do eyebrow waxing and eyelash tinting also.

Beauty salon - generally beauty therapy services such as all types of hair removal and tinting, facials, massage, manicure and pedicure etc.

Sometimes there are Hair and Beauty salons which combine hairdresser and beauty therapy services.

Hope this helps :)
