Hi!
I'm a newcomer teacher of English and I'm going to give a lecture on "Hairdressing & Skin Care/Beauty Salon English" at a vocatioanal high school. I'm planning to make use of sample dialogues in the lessons for the students to gain practice. If anybody could give me any addresses on the internet about the subject, I would be grateful.
Thanks already!

Beauty salons are scary places where wise men do not tread. What is said in there will remain a mystery I'm afraid.

Beautician: Well, can we interest you in today's special?
Customer: Um . . . No . . .
Beautician: We'll shampoo, cut, and style your hair for one unbelievable low price of $9.99 (nine ninety-nine). Plus, we'll give you a clean shave and a back massage to help you relax.
Customer: We'll I don't know. I don't have much time, and . . .
Beautician: Best service in town!

Beautician: No problem. Relax. You're in good hands. Okay, here we go. Now, how does this work?
Customer: Huh? Wait. You know what you're doing, right?
Relax, sir, relax. I've been doing this for 10 [cough]. [Ten what?] Sit back and relax. So, what do you do for a living?
Customer: I'm a lawyer, specializing in workplace accidents, and I'm in town for an interview for a new job, and . . .
Beautician: Oops.
Customer: What do you mean oops. Hey, can I see a mirror?
Beautician: Nothing to worry about, sir. Relax. I'm just making some adjustments to the hair trimmer. There we are. Okay . . .
Customer: Ouch. That hurt. What are you doing?
Beautician: Nothing to worry about, sir. Relax.
Customer: That's what you just said a minute ago, and look at all of my hair on the floor. How much are you really cutting off? And where's a mirror?
Beautician: Oh. And time for the shampoo. Just lean back, and we'll wash your hair away.
