How it's used
People often use this term to refer specifically to places offering facial treatments or skin care services. While it is a standard term, younger generations might also refer to these places simply as facial舖 or by the specific brand name of the chain. It carries a slightly more formal or established tone compared to just describing the service being performed.

Common mistake
Avoid confusing this with 理髮店, which is strictly for hair services. Although some high-end establishments offer both, they are distinct types of businesses in Hong Kong.
