English writers continued to use the French spelling of the word until in 1728 the English spelling "saloon" was used in describing the reception hall of great country houses.
"Salon" continued to be used in more sophisticated literary works in English (since French was considered a more cultured language by the English upper classes) until in the 19th century it came to signify the reception rooms and galleries in a rich person's home, the same as the 18th and 19th century French usage of the word. In literature, the word salon developed a more specific meaning as the room in a great house over which the "lady of the house" presided at gatherings of friends. From about 1815 (after the Napoleonic Wars) the "salon" became a literary cultural institution in which its main significance was "a room in a wealthy lady's home where discussions of art, music, literature and other cultural affairs were held."
The word "saloon" first appeared in American usage in 1841 as a "place where intoxicating liquor is sold and consumed." In the 1880's, the "saloon" was a rather disreputable meeting place where rough and definitely uncultured men met and talked about politics, war, sports and women. Mark Twain, Jack London and other realist writers popularized the "saloon".
Thus, in English, "salon" is usually associated with very high cultural connotations and "saloon" is definitely a low-culture establishment.

English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham？ About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, "We come from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called "hamburgers". Today, "hamburgers" are sold in many countries around the world.
