For those of you who don't understand the mistake: A salon is where someone would have their hair cut or styled. A saloon is where someone would order a whiskey (used more in reference to a gambling/liquor establishment in the old American West).

I have contributed to reducing the use of "saloon" by one salon. The owner freaked when she realized the difference betwee salon and saloon....chuckle..

Lol, you must be new....

It is a little strange to see a "kid's saloon", isn't it?
