Summary
A Muslim woman is permitted to provide hair salon services to non-Muslim women, but she may not use the services of a salon run by non-Muslim women. If no Muslim women's salon is available, using a non-Muslim women's salon is allowed on conditions. These are that no Muslim salon exists in the area after a search, that there is an enclosed private room for women only with no men entering, and that strict control applies so only limited aurat is exposed and the setting is free from fitnah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus bagi wanita Muslimah memberikan perkhidmatan salun rambut kepada wanita bukan Muslimah, akan tetapi wanita Muslimah tidak boleh menggunakan perkhidmatan salun rambut wanita bukan Muslimah.
