Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the pilot house
is a wheel house that is raised. A wheel house is a steering station with
hard sides and roof. Neither is outfitted with a salon, keeping in mind
that a salon typically means settee and/or table, galley, and the like, and
it's sometimes separated from the pilot house, and as mentioned, sometimes
on a separate level (even if only different by 6").

A saloon is a place where you go to drink (the "living room"
on a boat).

A salon is where women go to get their hair done.

And the terms pilot house/wheelhouse/deck saloon are all
pretty much interchangeable.
