Morphology
The meaning 'a shop for beauty treatments' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'beauty' (relating to aesthetic services) with 'salon' (a business providing styling/beauty services). This compound is a straightforward, compositional phrase with close equivalents in many languages (e.g. salón de belleza, salon de beauté), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Beauty salon comes from putting beauty and salon together: beauty means looking good and a salon is a room or shop for hair and skin care. Picture a calm room where people have their hair cut, faces treated, or nails done, and that's why the name means a place for 'beauty treatments'.
