The answer

It is not permissible for a salon to adorn immodestly dressed women, because it is assisting them in sin, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Similarly, a hammam (bathhouse) is not permissible if it requires a woman to uncover herself before a female worker who might see or touch what is forbidden for one woman to see or touch of another, which is the area between the navel and the knee.
