How to choose your
Shampoo Bowl
Top 5 - Shampoo Bowl
The comfort of the seat.
The comfort of the seat of the shampoo bowl must be a priority when you make your purchase!
Lorsque vos clients seront installés, they must enjoy a moment of relaxation. We advise you to choose a firm seat and backrest while remaining comfortable. Furthermore, it is recommended to choose a basin with armrests.
Prefer an armrest for each arm if you opt for sofa-shaped shampoo bowls, so that customers are not disturbed if someone is next to them when settling in comfortably. Cushions can also be added to support the lumbar region and thus make the seat even more comfortable.
The basin
The basin must not cause your client to break their neck. That is why a basin with an oscillating system provides additional comfort to your hairdressing shampoo bowl because it can be adjusted according to each person.
Some silicone neck pads can be added to support the neck and to make this moment more pleasant. Its ergonomics are just as important! Its width as well as its fittings must provide you with working comfort such as the taps.
All our shampoo bowls are delivered with the mixer tap as well as the hand shower. You can also find a plug that retains hair or even a mixer tap with drip-stop system. The latter allows you to make water savings but also does not drip on the seated client and bring an unpleasant sensation of cold drops on the neck.
The footrest, relaxation option.
UVous avez déjà du voir des shampoo bowls with an electric or manual footrest ! This relaxing option allows the client to have their legs extended so that they can enjoy a moment of relaxation. This semi-reclined position is highly appreciated by your clientele and they will feel very comfortable. Don't hesitate to offer this option to stand out from the competition and make your clients your own ambassadors.
The massage function.
The massage shampoo basin is the premium choice. These washing basins offer massages thanks to the remote control activation of this function. What could be better than the ultimate relaxation moment thanks to the basin massages as well as scalp massages during your services?
You will find different types of massage such as the shiatsu, by vibration or even air. For shiatsu massage, some balls will rotate in the backrest to relax your client. The vibration massage emits light 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 to relax and relieve back pain for example.
The design.
Don't forget that your shampoo bowls are the central elements of your hair salon! They must therefore match the ambience and decoration of your professional space.
If you have chosen a rather natural style, you can find shampoo basins with wood elements and a brown colour. For a rather industrial style, the black and metal finishes will be very suitable for your atmosphere. If you lean towards a cocooning salon, the cream colour will be appropriate.
Feel free to play with the colours and the elements of the basins 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.
