salon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hairdressing business built' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'from loans' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (from the letters).
'loans' is an anagram of 'SALON'.

Can you help me to learn more?
