About the shop
HaSalon sells used and new books, mostly in Hebrew, with a small English corner. According to a June 2026 article on 18Forty, the secondhand shelves hold fiction, poetry, antique books, children’s books and classics.
The same article describes a well-lit shop with couches and no labels on the shelves. The new books follow a house rule: every shelf starts with a book by a woman.
A November 2025 Jerusalem Post listing says the shop has English-language books and Hebrew books from small publishing houses, and gives hours of 9:00-20:00 Sunday to Thursday and 9:00-14:00 on Friday. According to 18Forty, the shop hosts events that promote local writers and smaller publishers.
