Hairdresser or ´s ??

If I needed a haircut I´d go to a hairdresser´s or I ´d go to a hairdresser?
  

Top answer

I'd go to a hairdresser, but both are valid. A HAIRDRESSER is a person who cuts your hair. A HAIRDRESSER'S is the place where the hairdresser works.

  • I'd go to a hairdresser, but both are valid.
  • A HAIRDRESSER is a person who cuts your hair.
  • A HAIRDRESSER'S is the place where the hairdresser works.
  • It's short for HAIRDRESSER'S SHOP.
  • So you could say "I'm AT the hairdresser's", or "I'm WITH the hairdresser", and you can GO TO either.
