green group · The short answer
HAIR SALON SERVICES
Each puzzle word passes the same exact test. The four mappings show how the answer works.
A BLOWOUT is a salon service in which hair is dried and styled, commonly with a brush and heated airflow.
COLOR covers salon work that changes, refreshes or adjusts the color of a client's hair.
EXTENSIONS refers to attaching additional hair to increase apparent length, volume or both.
A TRIM removes a relatively small amount of hair, often to neaten the shape or ends.
Why this group was difficult
- CUT is an almost perfect substitute
CUT is plainly associated with salon appointments, creating a valid-looking set that differs from the official group by one word. - The words have broad lives outside salons
BLOWOUT, COLOR, EXTENSIONS and TRIM can refer to sports, appearance, added time, decoration and many other subjects. - The service labels use different grammatical forms
The set mixes singular labels with the plural EXTENSIONS, so surface grammar does not provide an immediate clue.
How to spot this pattern next time
When five words fit a setting, avoid submitting the first plausible four and instead test which choice produces an exact group among the leftovers.
Imagine a salon's service list rather than objects found in the room; this makes BLOWOUT a direct service alongside the other three.
Four useful facts behind the group
- BLOWOUT names a styling service as well as unrelated events.
- COLOR can operate as either a noun or a verb in ordinary use.
- EXTENSIONS is the only plural-form word in this official group.
- TRIM usually implies removing less length than a major haircut.
