### Salons, Barbers, and Hairdressers

When it is time for a trim, you can visit **salonul** (the salon). In Romanian, there is often a distinction between a barbershop or barber—**frizerul**—which caters primarily to men, and **coaforul**, which caters primarily to women. 

Note that **coafor** can refer to both the professional (the hairdresser) and the place itself (the hair salon).

### Getting a Haircut

To say "to get a haircut," Romanian commonly uses the reflexive verb **a se tunde**. Even though someone else is cutting your hair, you use a reflexive pronoun, expressing that you are having the action done to yourself.

The noun for "haircut" is **tunsoarea**. If you are looking for a specific style, you might also ask for **breton** (bangs or a fringe). When talking about cutting bangs, you will often use the verb **a tăia** (to cut) rather than *a tunde*.

### Styling and Coloring

To go beyond a simple haircut, you might want to dye your hair using the verb **a vopsi**. 

For special occasions, you can ask for a specific **coafură** (hairstyle). To achieve these styles, a hairdresser will likely use a brush (**peria**) and might create curls (**bucle**).
