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.
