Frequently Asked Questions

How many salon words are on this list?

This page lists 24 salon words in Japanese with kanji, hiragana, romaji, and English. Each row is everyday vocabulary you would meet in textbook study or normal conversation — no archaic or specialist terms.

What JLPT level are these salon words?

Most entries are JLPT N5 and N4 — the foundation vocabulary for the first 6–12 months of Japanese study. Each row that maps to a specific JLPT level shows a coloured pill. Words without a pill are common everyday terms outside the JLPT-tested set.

How do I copy this salon vocabulary list to Anki?

Click "Copy All" at the top of the table to copy the entire list as tab-separated values (kanji, hiragana, romaji, English). Open Anki, choose Import, paste the contents into a text file or directly into a new deck, and Anki will create one card per row. The same export works for Quizlet, Google Sheets, and Excel.

How should I memorise salon words quickly?

Read the whole list out loud once — kanji, hiragana, English. Cover the romaji column and test recall on the second pass. Build one short sentence per word ("私のsalon は…") and the words stick within three repeated sessions. For spaced repetition, export the list to the linked Japanese Flashcards tool.

Can I print this salon vocabulary list?

Yes. Click the Print button at the top of the table for a print-friendly view, or use your browser's print menu directly. Each row stays on a single line and the table fits standard A4 / Letter pages in portrait mode without further formatting.
