1. The furniture
1.1. The barber chair
The first thing that should be on your list of barbing salon equipment is a hairdresser’s chair or barber chair. It should be convenient (for both the master and the client), easy to move around, easy to care for and stylish to match the latest fashion trends and general interior concept.
There are various types of contemporary barber chairs, and they are classified by several features. So, depending on the design, theку are three main types:
- Screw. They differ depending on the presence of wheels and “five-ray” metal construction, hidden in a plastic casing. These chairs move and rotate around its axis easily, and can be adjusted in height if necessary,
- Pneumatic. This “smart” device automatically lowers down when the client sits down and rises when he gets up. The lever located on one leg of the chair helps to make the additional adjustments, and height can be changed by easily pressing of the leg of the chair. The construction of a chair has two “five-rays”: a metal one (also hidden in a plastic casing) and a chrome-plated pneumatic cartridge.
- Hydraulic. These chairs are equipped with a hydraulic lift, allowing slowly and smoothly raise and lower the whole structure.

2.2. Hair wash basin
Hair wash basin is sold separately or within a barber chair (barber chair-sink). The hydraulic mechanism allows the barber to quickly change the position of the chair relative to the sink. It is excellent if the sink is deep, and the tilt angle is adjustable.
The cheapest models are not associated with the chair, but the most expensive sets often have two sinks and two chairs, and sometimes they even represent a kind of washing-transformer with a movable rack.
Depending on the materials of manufacture, design features, availability of additional options, hairdresser basins are divided into 3 price groups. Entry level salons tend to choose suitable products of the “Economy” category with a metal body and built-in inexpensive plumbing.
The salons of a higher and premium level can’t do without the models with ergonomic and stylish design: such equipment will emphasize the status and exclusivity of the services provided. A convenience in operation (for both the client and the barber) will be provided by a hydraulic height adjustment system with electric drive, several backrest positions, and additional options: backlight, massage function, etc.
How to choose a hair wash basin?
According to the norms of SES, the functional load per one basin is 3 barber chairs, which means its permanent use. Therefore, when choosing it is important to pay attention to the quality and reliability of the product:
- the materials must be resistant to moisture (when used and frequently cleaned);
- certain demand for the configuration – streamlined shapes: the sharp corners can cause an injury.
- all parts must be carefully adjusted and tightly connected to each other.
In addition, you should purchase:
