The circuit that the GFCI receptacle is protected by is a 125v 15a circuit breaker. If you were to disconnect the wires from the back of the GFCI receptacle and short them to each other it would be that breaker in the salon panel that should trip. Not the breaker in the tower.
Think of your house. It's a 225v system. If one of your receptacles in your house shorts out the breaker in your panel that protects that circuit trips. Not your main breaker to the house. And it doesn't bring down your neighbors house either.
