This research aims to explore women's empowerment through salon training carried out at the UPT Social Services for the Deaf, Speech and Elderly Pematang Siantar, North Sumatra Province Social Service. This salon training is designed to provide practical skills that can help deaf-mute and elderly women increase their economic independence and improve their standard of living. The method used is a qualitative approach with observation and interviews as data collection techniques. The research results show that salon training not only provides technical skills but also increases participants' self-confidence, expands their social networks, and opens up job opportunities. Overall, this program contributes to women's empowerment by creating opportunities for them to become economically and socially independent. This research provides recommendations for the development of similar training programs in the future to expand the positive impact on communities of women in need.]]>
