Word origin
The word 'parlor' originated in the late 13th century from the Old French word 'parleor', which means 'speaking room'. The concept of a 'parlor' as a sitting room in a private house became popular in the 18th century. Over time, the term expanded to include businesses that provide specific services, such as beauty parlors and nail salons.
