Salon equipment and furniture:

Salon reception furniture

Hairdressing salon equipment and furniture is a significant part of any financial budget for equipping or refurbishing a hairdresser salon or a hairdressing college and is also a standard requirement within many modern nursing homes where the eldely have their hair . Most hair salon designs require a waiting area / reception furniture area where the salon client can book in for their appointment. For salon owners requiring a salon reception desk we have a range of desks from various manufacturers. Some of reception desks are made to order in the laminate colour of you choice. Should you require a salon reception desk for you shop front please choose in the Reception Desk area on our site. To compliment your chosen desk we also have waiting area salon furniture to choose from and again, many of these waiting area seats, couches and benches have a colour choice fabric that you can select to match your beautiful new salon décor.

When there is a colour choice, items are often made to order and this should always be taken into general consideration when placing an order. Made to order items can often have inherent delays and our advice is always order in good time. Orders can always be delayed to meet a customers deadline but can rarely be speeded up due to the manufacturing process.

Styling Mirror units

To compliment your salon décor we have a range of salon styling mirror units, some of which are made to order in a laminate choice of colour. Hairdressing salon mirrors with a colour choice, again, may take longer to deliver due to the manufacturing delay. However there are many salon styling mirror units we supply which are metallic, none laminate or a set colour laminate item that are ready made and available for immediate delivery.

For barber salons the popular salon furniture mirror choice is the 'REM' Duke Barber mirror units although we expect the new REM Boss Barber units will prove to be popular. Styling mirrors can be wall mounted which are single sided or Island type unit which is designed for a central position in the floor area and has mirrors on both sides. Usually these are two positioned mirror units [one position each side] and these often have a central storage section either side of the styling mirror to aid overall stability. These Island styling mirrors are either bolted to the floor or the ceiling.

Barber Chairs

Gentleman’s barber salons historically come complete with the item of salon furniture known as the Barber chair. Many barber chairs are relatively bigger and stronger than the average hairdressing salon styling chair with a view to accommodating the larger gentleman. Some barber chairs are used for basic gentleman haircutting and hair styling but many have a reclining feature which allows among other things the client to have a wet shave in a lean back position. On our website we have an extensive choice of barber chairs to choose in all shapes and sizes and prices to match your budget.

Salon Washpoints / Backwashes

Within most hairdressing salons the hair wash area is fitted with an item of furniture known as the salon backwash or wash point although some premises may contain a fitted frontwash basin or a stand alone front wash pedestal station. The frontwash basin style pedestal unit basin tends to be less deep than the backwash style of basin and the client has their hair washed by leaning forward into the basin. This can be accomplished by standing or more usually by leaning forward while sitting on a normal salon chair. The fitted backwash type of washpoint unit comes complete with fitted seat and has a deeper basin than the frontwash style basin unit and the attached backwash chair seat can also often slide into position. A backwash basin normally has an adjustable tilt mechanism underneath the basin which allows the client to be maintained in a comfortable washing position. In some of the more expensive complete backwash style washpoints there can be added features like vibration and massage and even an electric footrest to provide a better comfort experience. Again a stand alone pedestal style backwash is also available which needs to be complimented with a separately connected reclining backwash chair. These can be seen in the salon styling chair area as well as the washpoint area of the website.

Styling chairs

Hairdressing styling chairs come in many shapes and sizes and can vary in price considerably. Because clients and hairdressing stylists also have differing height sizes the head level of the client becomes an important dynamic which needs to be adjusted for each customer. This is achieved by raising and lowering the styling seat height to meet a comfortable working level for the hairdressing stylist. The styling chair seat height is achieved by raising and lowering the stem between the seat and the base. The most popular design for doing this is the hydraulic lift stem which allows the customer to be raised and lowered while seated on the chair. A relatively less expensive design that is still popular due to price is that of the gas lift stem which works similar to an office chair. In this scenario the weight has to be removed off the chair to raise the seat and weigh has to be applied to lower it. This is achieved via levers under the chair. Relative lower costs for hydraulics lift chairs in recent years have seen hydraulic styling chairs being sold in greater proportions over that of gas lift. Similar to other salon furniture the styling seats can be made to order in a choice of colour or can be ‘sitting on a shelf’ ready to be sent out. The most popular colour for a styling chair is black and some manufactures give the buyer a choice of bases. The most popular base is the five [5] star base although square, circular [disc] and kidney shaped designs are available from some salon equipment manufacturers. Made to order styling chairs will always take longer to deliver for obvious reasons.

Also available in the salon equipment and salon furniture area are salon footrests, salon stools, hairdressing trolleys, salon hood dryers, freestanding and wall mounted and magazine and towel racks. These complete the accessories a modern salon owner and hairdresser requires.
