How to choose your shampoo basin?
How to choose the ideal shampoo basin for your hair salon? Indeed, it is one of the key elements of your salon because it is the ultimate relaxation moment for your clients. You must therefore take several criteria into account when choosing your shampoo basin such as its comfort and style.

The comfort of the seat
The comfort of the seat of the hairdresser's shampoo bowl must be a priority when you make your purchase! When your clients are seated in the shampoo bowl, they should enjoy a moment of relaxation. We recommend choosing a seat and backrest that are firm yet comfortable. Additionally, it is advisable to choose a bowl with armrests. Prefer one armrest for each arm if you opt for sofa-shaped shampoo bowls, so that clients are not disturbed if someone is next to them settling in comfortably. Cushions can also be added to support the lower back and thus make the seat even more comfortable.
Think about the ergonomics and comfort of the basin
The basin must not break the neck of your client. That is why a basin with an oscillating system provides additional comfort to your hairdressing shampoo bowl as it can be adjusted for each person. Silicone neck protectors 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, just like the taps. All our shampoo bowls are delivered with the mixer tap as well as the shower head. You can also find a plug that catches hair or even a mixer tap with an anti-drip system. The latter allows you to save water but also does not drip on the seated client and bring an unpleasant sensation of cold drops on the neck.
The footrest, the trendy relaxation option!
You have probably already seen professional shampoo bowls with an electric or manual footrest! This relaxing option allows the client to have their legs stretched out so they can enjoy an optimal moment of relaxation. This semi-reclined position is much appreciated by your clientele who will feel very comfortable. Do not hesitate to offer this option to stand out from the competition and make your clients your own ambassadors.
The massage function, absolute relaxation
The massaging shampoo basin is the trend in hair salons! These wash basins offer massages thanks to the activation of this function by remote control. What could be better than an ultimate moment of relaxation thanks to the basin massages as well as scalp massages during your treatments?
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.
