Essential hairdressing furniture for a barber shop

For a men’s hairdressing salon, it is important to choose specialist hairdressing furniture to meet the needs of your clientele. The two essential pieces of equipment are:

  • The barber’s chair: this differs from a traditional hairdressing chair in its vintage design and specific features, such as an adjustable headrest, a gas spring to adjust the seat’s angle, a hydraulic pump to adjust the height, and a footrest. The barber’s chair provides optimal comfort for your customers, whilst allowing you to work with greater precision. It also adds real character to your salon. Whether it has a retro charm or a more contemporary design, it contributes to the atmosphere of the premises and must be elegant.
  • The barber’s styling station: unlike traditional hairdressing stations, this unit is specifically designed for barbers: in addition to a shelf and a large mirror, it features a built-in ceramic basin to facilitate the trimming and grooming of beards and moustaches.

Choosing the right furniture for the rest of your barber’s shop

For the hairdressing area, the essential hairdressing furniture is broadly the same as for a unisex hairdressing salon:

  • The reception desk: this is the first thing your customers will see when they enter your premises. It should be welcoming and practical to make your work easier. You can choose a desk with shelves to store your hairdressing products.
  • Shampoo basins or an adjustable washbasin: for washing hair, you can choose between shampoo basins or an adjustable washbasin that can be fitted to the barber’s chair.
  • Shelves or display units: for your hairdressing products, shelves or display units are essential for showcasing them and making them accessible to your customers. You can choose wall-mounted shelves or freestanding display units depending on the space available in your salon.
  • The cloakroom: a dedicated space for your clients to store their coats and bags is important for their comfort. You can opt for wall-mounted coat hooks or an ergonomic cloakroom unit placed in the waiting area.
  • The hairdressing stool: a comfortable, height-adjustable stool is essential for your clients’ comfort. Choose a model with a padded seat and castors.
  • Waiting chairs: whilst waiting for their turn, your clients need comfortable seating. A sofa or pouffes with padded cushions can also be a good option for making the most of the space whilst offering real comfort.
  • Storage units on castors: to make it easier to store your hairdressing equipment, units on castors are very practical. You can move them around as needed and they take up very little space.
