Which chair to choose for my hair salon?

The chair's design

The choice of your salon chair's design is a purely objective one. You should choose the chair shape that will best complement the decor and atmosphere you wish to create in your salon.

If you want a cozy style, opt for wide chairs with rounded lines to evoke a cocoon. There are even some with tufted or quilted details for an even more cocooning style. These chairs will perfectly suit the warm ambiance you are looking for.

If you want a more modern universe, you can opt for chairs with more fluid and refined lines. There are also chairs with a contemporary look for a 100% modern salon.

Finally, if you want a more traditional and classic style, chairs with straight lines will be your greatest allies in decorating your salon. They will not clash with the classic and sober atmosphere of your decor.

The color

Salon chairs are usually available in a multitude of colors, which can make you hesitant when choosing one.

For a cozy atmosphere, the colors to favor are beige, nude, powder pink, or warm brown. These soft colors will truly give your salon a warm and gentle setting.

To add a bit of vibrancy to your salon, there are many colors: green, tangerine orange, turquoise blue, or red will allow you to have an interior that easily stands out from other salons.

For a more modern interior, you can play with black and the different fabric textures available. With a crocodile or snakeskin effect that will make your chair even more original. Or stick to classic but effective black.

… But also comfort!

What technical characteristics should I choose for my salon chair?

The backrest

The backrest of your salon chair is a very important element when making your choice. Indeed, the more enveloping the backrest, the more it will allow your clients to sit upright effortlessly.

This is a very crucial element. A client who constantly moves to find a comfortable position will make your job difficult, especially during cutting services.

We therefore recommend salon chairs with a wide and enveloping backrest that even extends into armrests for good back support and a comfortable position.

The seat

The seat of your salon chair must meet one main requirement: comfort. Indeed, some of your clients, especially female clients, may spend several hours in this chair. It is essential to choose a comfortable seat.

For this, it is important to select a chair with a wide and thick seat with quality padding. To do this, you can compare the thickness of the seats of each chair but also test their comfort by putting yourself in your clients' shoes.

The base

The base is not necessarily the first element you look at when choosing your chair, but it can add a touch of originality. Indeed, there are many types of bases: round, square, curved, star-shaped, more or less thick.

No matter the shape of the base you choose, you must be vigilant and choose a base that absolutely has a hydraulic pump to easily adjust the height of your chair and thus make your work easier.
