Are you looking to buy a shampoo basin? MY SALON DE COIFFURE is here to help you find and purchase the right one! We offer a range of basins to suit all budgets and in a variety of styles.

Whether you’re looking for a designer or retro wash unit, a minimalist design or one packed with features, our advisers will help you find the unit best suited to your space. We’re committed to ensuring your purchase brings you long-lasting satisfaction!

The most important quality of a shampoo basin: comfort

Comfort is one of the key factors to consider when making your purchase. Your clients will, after all, spend a considerable amount of time in the shampoo chair: it’s therefore best for the seat to be ergonomic and soft, with, for example, an adjustable leg rest that allows them to achieve a very relaxing semi-reclined position.

Comfort also depends on the position and angle of the basin! A poorly positioned rim behind the nape of the neck makes for a less pleasant experience for your customers. Opting for a model with an adjustable basin will help you avoid this recurring problem.

Classic and sophisticated models

My Salon de Coiffure offers a wide range of models, with features kept to a minimum if you prefer, and handy little extras for those looking to make the most of their workspace.

From basic hairdressing wash units (ARENA, AUSTIN, HENRY…) to the most sophisticated models (NAPOLEON, EDDIE, XILEMA…), you’re bound to find just what you’re looking for amongst our products!

Are you looking for simplicity and efficiency? Take a look at our entry-level range. You’ll love how easy they are to use. Would you like to invest a little more in this equipment? Our mid-range products (MOBI, VANITY…) will add a touch of class and distinction to your salon. Do take the time to consider our LEVANA, which has already won over many professionals.

Whichever model you choose, our chairs feature elegant lines that perfectly complement the professionalism of your service. The models from My Salon de Coiffure are designed with great care… and it shows! By choosing one of the timeless models from our range, you can be sure your chair will never go out of fashion.

And thanks to the quality of our hairdressing furniture, you can showcase your high standards in your salon and inspire confidence in your clients.

Shampoo basins fitted with specialised accessories: a real bonus for your clients

In the world of hairdressing, standing out from the competition isn’t always easy. Make a difference with the little details on your professional shampoo basin. The massage function, in particular, will be greatly appreciated by your clients. The rollers built into the seat massage the entire back at the desired intensity, ensuring a truly relaxing experience during the shampoo. A great way to start your service, which is sure to leave a lasting impression.

The chrome taps and the chair’s adjustable settings will make a strong impression. Meanwhile, built-in storage in the basin will free up space and make it easier to work. In any case, your clients will be the first to enjoy the additional features of your shampoo basin.

Vary the colours and features and choose a basin that reflects your style

The upholstery and colour of your chair matter too. Matching them to your interior décor or, conversely, drawing attention with a striking splash of colour will allow you to stand out in a subtle way. By combining colour and wood, as with the FORTY model, or by opting for a two-tone model such as the CURVE, you can assert your salon’s style.

The visual appearance of your wash unit should not be overlooked: it reflects your personality and instantly sets the tone for your salon. If you’re in any doubt or have any questions, My Salon de Coiffure is here to advise you, ensuring your wash unit is in perfect harmony with you and your salon.

Flow within your salon: one of the keys to success

The shampoo basin should not be considered in isolation, but rather as part of your overall salon décor. Its location and size should be chosen carefully to ensure your clients can settle in easily and then move quickly to the styling station after their shampoo.

If you have limited space, choose a sleek model, which will create a sense of lightness. Many chairs opt for a minimalist design and will make a strong impression on your clients, such as the INDUSTRIAL, with its highly geometric armrests. For larger hairdressing salons, double basins are available, which will fit easily into the existing layout.

This ease of movement is also important for you: by choosing the right unit, you’ll be able to move easily between different areas of your hairdressing salon without wasting time or disturbing your clients or your equipment. This will help reinforce the impression of professionalism and quality at your salon.

What role does the hairdressing salon shampoo basin play in the customer journey?

A true cornerstone of the salon’s layout, the shampoo basin plays a key role in shaping both the salon’s image and the customer experience.

Layout and organisation of the salon

Right from the reception area, clear spatial layout gives customers an impression of professionalism. The shampoo basin must be immediately visible, just like the styling station and the till counter.

Arranging the areas whilst leaving sufficient space to move between them is key to an efficient working environment.

Consistency of image

The variety of styles and colours available for hairdressing salon wash units allows for endless creativity. Whether understated or original, classic or on-trend, this equipment must blend harmoniously into the salon’s décor.

Matching furniture, both in terms of range and design, reinforces the brand image. It expresses the salon’s identity and sets it apart from others.

Space optimisation

Hairdressing furniture must also be chosen according to the available space and the layout of the premises. A small salon will opt for a compact model to save space. Conversely, a large salon will opt for a double or triple shampoo basin, or even a chair with shiatsu or full-body massage.

Why is the ergonomics of the wash unit and chair so important?

A hairdressing wash unit must ensure good working posture and facilitate smooth movements.

Reduced fatigue and strain

Choosing a professional-grade model brings direct benefits to hairdressers:

• reduced physical strain;
• an improved working position;
• prevention of tendonitis, musculoskeletal disorders and work-related illnesses amongst hairdressers.

Improved productivity

The more adjustments a basin offers, the better its ergonomics. A less tired hairdresser works better and faster. They are less likely to make mistakes. Repetitive movements and prolonged standing are also more manageable.

Why is buying a high-quality styling unit a worthwhile investment?

As well as client comfort – which is essential in the hairdressing industry – professional equipment is synonymous with reliability and durability.

Sturdiness and quality of materials

Whatever their price, our wash units feature a solid and stable metal frame. The seat offers ergonomic support and padding that resists deformation. The faux leather upholstery retains its aesthetic appeal for a long time, does not tear and is resistant to discolouration.

Ability to withstand heavy use

A professional hairdressing wash unit is specifically designed for this purpose. The finishes are resistant to heat, humidity, product splashes and frequent cleaning.

The tilting basin, electric leg rest and massage function of our wash units also benefit from a professional design that guarantees their long-term effectiveness.

What are the functions of a hair washing station?

Essential regardless of the salon’s style or location, this equipment forms the first stage of the customer journey. It plays a threefold role.

Shampooing

This is the primary function of the shampoo basin. Thanks to its practical taps, precise mixer tap and hand shower, it simplifies the shampooing stage.

Rinsing

Certain treatments – such as colouring or bleaching – require a processing time, followed by a rinse. The padded neck rest allows clients to wait in comfort until the hairdresser returns to complete the service.

Hair care

Beyond a simple wash, many salons offer a complete hair care treatment. Here too, the client enjoys a moment of relaxation whilst the product takes effect. The subsequent rinse provides a pleasant conclusion to this first stage of the beauty experience.

How does the shampoo basin affect the customer experience?

Hair washing is a crucial part of the experience. An uncomfortable basin, or water that is too hot or too cold, prevents the client from relaxing and puts them off having their hair styled. Conversely, elegant and ergonomic furniture puts them in the right frame of mind for styling.

Care and relaxation

The purpose of the shampoo isn’t merely technical. It should be a special moment, during which the client puts themselves in the hairdresser’s hands and enjoys a genuine sense of well-being. Massage, music and the play of colours all contribute to this relaxing experience.

Perception of quality

A professional shampoo and styling basin helps to enhance the salon’s image. Through its design, ergonomics and any premium features it may offer, this equipment reassures clients and encourages them to book an appointment. It is also a key factor in building customer loyalty.

How does the shampoo basin promote efficient working?

The performance of a professional shampoo basin directly impacts the quality of the services provided.

Speed and fluidity

A well-designed, easy-to-use basin ensures precision in the stylist’s movements. This makes the hairdressers’ work more enjoyable and efficient.

As treatments are quicker, clients do not have to wait long for their turn. The workflow is smooth and the work schedule is adhered to.

Functionality in a fast-paced profession

A high-quality shampoo basin is an invaluable ally in a hairdresser’s day-to-day work. Whilst a low-end model may prove impractical or even uncomfortable, premium furniture supports your business day after day, year after year.

Thanks to My Salon, quality no longer means exorbitant prices. You benefit from competitive prices, financing options and regular promotions.

What is the link between choosing the right hairdressing basin and taking your salon to the next level?

A professional, stylish and functional hairdressing station lends credibility to your business. It can also act as a catalyst for your salon’s growth.

Visibility and impact

Instantly recognisable, the shampoo basin influences how people perceive your salon’s prestige. Even an entry-level model can convey a professional image, provided it is in keeping with the rest of the furnishings.

Premium services

Whether you’re opening a new salon or looking to move upmarket, the shampoo basin is a good place to start. Basic models simply feature a basin and a chair. In the mid-range, a multi-position seat and an electric leg rest add a touch of comfort. To take it a step further, you can opt for a head spa with scalp massage, fountain jets, steam, multicoloured LED lighting, shiatsu back massage or a full-body massage…

In what ways is the hairdressing shampoo basin a versatile piece of furniture?

Shampooing, rinsing, applying treatments, wellness services: the hair-washing basin proves its usefulness in many situations.

Technical procedures

The hairdressing wash basin is primarily designed for washing procedures. It is a key moment for the hairdresser to assess the condition of the scalp and hair. This first step therefore enables the professional to better guide their client, both regarding the rest of the service and the purchase of products at the end of the session.

Relaxation area

Thanks to the range of functions available, the shampooing stage now includes a variety of additional treatments. The massage jets provide an immediate sense of well-being, whilst the full-body massage offers a true moment of relaxation. As such, a simple shampoo basin enables the salon to offer a comprehensive range of treatments.

How does the shampoo basin influence the hairdresser’s workflow?

The shampoo basin is a central workstation. Its design is therefore at the heart of the services provided.

Daily and continuous use

In a busy salon, such as one in a shopping centre, the hairdressing shampoo basin is put through its paces. Its ergonomics and ease of use clearly impact how quickly each service can be carried out.

Quality of service

Professional equipment protects the hairdresser from awkward postures and makes every movement easier. This has two benefits: better working conditions and a smoother workflow.

A swift transition between treatment stages and between clients helps to project a professional image of your business.

How can you make the best use of the shampoo basin in your salon layout?

The role of the hairdressing wash basin in the salon layout is twofold: optimising the available space and managing customer flow.

Number of washing stations

Depending on the available space and the layout of the premises, the configuration of the shampoo basins will vary. You have the option of purchasing a double or triple shampoo station, which is ideal for saving space and maximising capacity. If you’re lucky enough to have a large premises, there are several options to consider: incorporating a single shampoo basin and prioritising styling stations, or installing a chair with a reclining position or air massage function...

Layout of the space

Choosing an ergonomic hairdressing wash unit should be part of an overall plan, never considered in isolation. The layout plan must organise the spaces effectively. It is also important to allow sufficient width for movement, including for people with reduced mobility.

What are the benefits of an adjustable leg rest on a shampoo basin?

Purchasing a hairdressing wash unit with a leg rest allows you to offer a unique experience without having to change the entire layout of the salon.

Comfort and relaxation

This option strikes the perfect balance between a basic shampoo basin and premium models. The angle can be adjusted manually or electrically. Some chairs also feature a fixed leg rest, which in itself represents a significant improvement in customer comfort.

Added value

A relaxed customer is more likely to spend longer in your salon and return. They are also more likely to tell others about their experience, which is a simple and effective form of advertising.

Without the need for major investment or extensive building work, swapping your entry-level hair-washing basin for a model with a leg rest allows you to move upmarket seamlessly.

How important is the rinsing basin in hairdressing services?

We often think of shampooing as a preliminary step to styling. But the ‘rinsing’ stage also plays an essential, though often overlooked, role.

Technical treatments

The hairdressing rinse basin is essential at the end of the processing time for treatments and colouring. Thanks to their ergonomic design and ease of cleaning, My Salon basins facilitate a smooth transition between clients, allowing you to alternate between shampooing and rinsing quickly and seamlessly.

Perfect results and customer satisfaction

Precise temperature control and an appropriate water flow rate optimise the quality of the rinse. Your clients benefit from an effective treatment that perfectly prepares the hair for subsequent procedures: cutting, blow-drying, perms, colouring, wedding hairstyling…
