Why choose a barber chair? 

For a few years now, we have seen more and more Barber Shops appearing in all the big and small towns. But why? Men are paying more and more attention to themselves and this notably involves beard and moustache care. These have become very popular and are rooted in the culture. A well-groomed beard or moustache is trendy

The profession of barber hairdresser has therefore become fashionable again and this vintage profession allows men to take care of themselves. The new Barber Shops therefore draw their decor inspiration from the origin of the profession to offer their bearded customers a timeless and relaxing moment. 

Tip No. 1: Choose your barber chair according to the decoration of your Barber Shop

You must first define the decoration of your barber salon as vintage style or modern, industrial or even elegant. This is the basis for the layout of a professional space. You have to harmonise your salon!

The barber chair is the essential element of your Barber Shop, so you must put everything on this piece of furniture! They will be an integral part of your salon and your visual identity. In any case, they must look like you so that you are in agreement. 

If you want to set up a barber area in your hair salon, you can however choose a different style of barber chair to distinguish this universe. This way, the spaces are not confused and you will attract the attention of your future male clientele to this place so that they come to get their hair cut and beard trimmed with you. 


Choosing the right barber chair helps to stand out from the competition and create a unique atmosphere in your salon !

Tip #2: Comfort above all! 

Comfort is an important aspect when choosing your barber chair! Your clients do not only come to get their hair cut and beard trimmed, they also want to enjoy a moment of relaxation. Therefore, they need to be comfortably seated. These chairs are much wider and taller than standard hairdressing chairs. Moreover, they usually have a control handle that allows the backrest and the footrest to be inclined. The armrests and the adjustable headrest are also comfort features for the client. 


Thanks to the comfort of your vintage barber chair, your clients will leave calm, relaxed and well groomed! 

Tip No. 3: Think about the ergonomics of the professional barber chair

What is the ergonomics of a chair? These are all the elements that will make up the chair and will either facilitate its use or not. That is why each detail must be carefully considered, such as the pump, the armrests, the footrest, the weight, the headrest, the dimensions, the rotation, etc. 

To make your work easier, we advise you to always choose a hydraulic pump to adjust the height of the chair. The client will not need to get off the chair for you to adjust the height. Next, the backrest must be able to recline to easily trim the beard. The headrest must necessarily be removable, because you may have very tall clients and the head must be able to rest and not fall into the void. 

A chair with 360° rotation will make your daily life easier! You will be able to turn the client without them getting up from the hairdresser's chair.

Weight can also be an important factor in your choice, it must not be too heavy to move easily if you need to without injuring yourself or hurting your back. A barber chair that is very heavy will be cumbersome, difficult to handle, ... On the other hand, a chair that is too light will not be fully suitable for your activity if you work exclusively as a barber. Indeed, it must be able to support the weight of your male clients for several years.
