I'd still take the position that a hairdresser could be a Startup (as well as a startup). There are a few well known brands that I expect originated in that fashion(!) and there's always room for further innovation.

I doubt it. Calling a hairdresser a Startup, is about as convincing as saying Detroit innovates in transport with efficient engine technology.

The key difference, despite its past, Detroit can create new innovative hi-tech products if requried. [0] I dare say it would be harder for hairdressers around the world to do so in a business that is not technology based.
