The most important item of furniture in a beauty salon or barber shop is the barber's chair. It is the piece of furniture most often used by clients. The chair needs to be stylish and comfortable. It also needs to be functional for the barber or hair stylist. Some of the top manufacturers of barber chairs include Collins, Pibbs, Takara Belmont, and YCC.
Beauty salon chairs come in many shapes, colors and designs. It is now not uncommon to see children getting their first haircut sitting in their own special sized chair next to their parent's beauty salon chair. The style and message you want to convey to your clients can be done with your own design concept and the beauty salon chair plays an integral part of that communication.
The salon chair, along with the layout of the salon, the design of the individual work stations, the lighting, the furniture and the cabinetry can say a lot about the type of salon message you wish to convey. If you are still using beauty salon chairs made over 15 years ago, then the impression that your clients might take with them is that you are a little behind the times. In the fast moving beauty industry, it is important to portray an image that you are current with the latest fashions and trends.
