How to choose your
Shampoo Bowl

Think about the ergonomics and comfort of the basin.

The basin must not strain the neck of your client. That is why a basin with an oscillating system provides extra comfort to your hair shampoo bowl as it can be adjusted according to each person. Silicone neck supports can be added to support the neck and make this moment more pleasant.  Its ergonomics are just as important! Its width as well as its equipment must provide you with working comfort like the taps. All our shampoo bowls come with the mixer tap and the handheld shower. You can also find a hair-catching strainer or a mixer tap with anti-drip system. The latter allows you to save water but also prevents dripping on the seated client and unpleasant sensations of cold drops on the neck.

The footrest, relaxation option.

You have probably already seen shampoo bowls with an electric or manual footrest! This relaxing option allows the client to have their legs stretched out and thus enjoy a moment of relaxation. This semi-reclined position is highly appreciated by your clientele and will make them feel very comfortable. Feel free to introduce this option to stand out from the competition and have your clients become your own ambassadors.  

The massage function.

The massaging shampoo bowl is the premium choice. These washing bowls offer massages thanks to the remote control activation of this function. What could be better than an ultimate relaxation moment thanks to the massages of the bowl as well as scalp massages during your services?

You will find different types of massage such as shiatsu, vibration or even air massage. For shiatsu massage, balls will rotate in the backrest to relax your client. The vibration massage emits slight vibrations in the backrest or even in the seat that help relax the person seated. Air massage is the ultimate massage! A very gentle sensation that is ultra pleasant for relaxing and relieving back pain, for example. 

The design.

Don't forget that your bacs shampooing are the central elements of your hair salon! It is therefore necessary that they match the atmosphere and decoration of your professional space. If you have chosen a rather natural style, you can find bacs shampooing with wood elements and a brown colour. For a rather industrial style, black and metal finishes will be very suitable for your atmosphere. If you are heading towards a cocooning salon, cream colour will be appropriate. Don't hesitate to play with the colours and elements of the bacs to harmonise your hairdressing space. At Malys Équipements, you will find many designs with numerous options to meet all your criteria and needs! 

The steps to choose the ideal model.

When purchasing your shampoo basins, you need to consider its different stages to make a reasoned choice while respecting your needs :

• The dimension : It is necessary that you measure the available space to accommodate your basins. You cannot choose the same model if you have a large or a small hair salon. This will also allow you to know how many basins you will be able to align. If you have a small hair salon and you don't have space to put two basins side by side, you will find sofa shampoo basins that offer two basins on a single module and you will thus gain a few centimetres and be able to accommodate several clients at the same time. 
• The ergonomics of the shampoo basin : List all the necessary elements to carry out your work such as storage at the back, the taps, the depth of the basin, ...
• Options : As we have already seen, you have many options available for each shampoo bowl: the electric leg rest, the massaging function, neck protectors, colours, ...
• The price : You must know the budget you will allocate for the acquisition of your hairdressing furniture. It is important to know your budget envelope so that you can choose the basin that suits you! However, we offer our clients financing solutions to support you in purchasing the furniture of your dreams.
