How do you choose a hairdressing chair?

One of the essential pieces of furniture in any hairdressing salon is undoubtedly the hairdressing chair. Without it, it would be completely impossible to carry out services such as blow-drying, cutting or even a simple shave efficiently. But whilst it is essential to have such a chair, it makes even more sense to choose one that combines both style and practicality. Which brings us back to the question: how do you choose a hairdressing chair? My Salon de coiffure offers a few tips.

Be objective when choosing your hairdressing chair

Whether it’s the design, colour or features of your future hairdressing chair, the choice must be made objectively. In other words, the chair must complement the atmosphere and décor of your salon. You’ll therefore want to avoid a ‘fashion faux pas’ by, for example, choosing a modern-style chair for a vintage or retro-style salon.

If you’re leaning towards a cosy, cocoon-like look, we recommend choosing wide chairs with rounded lines to evoke that ‘cocoon’ feel. Staying true to this style, opt for those with topstitching or tufting to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

For a more modern and fun style, let yourself be won over by hairdressing chairs with fluid, clean lines. Opt for those with a star-shaped base for added originality. For a more understated, classic look, choose a hairdressing chair with straight lines and armrests. These will blend perfectly with the simple yet professional image you wish to convey.

Choosing the right colour for your chair: a tough decision

We know there’s an endless array of colours for hairdressing chairs. This makes the decision even harder before you’ve made up your mind. Current interior design trends suggest opting for colours such as beige, powder pink or warm brown… if you’re aiming for a cosy, cocooning atmosphere. These colours are sure to lend a warm and gentle ambience to your salon.

If you’re after a livelier, more fun look, then we’d recommend green, turquoise blue, red or chick yellow. The advantage of these colours is that they allow you to stand out visually from the competition.

To stick with a classic, understated style, black is the ideal colour. What’s more, this colour shows less dirt and is easier to look after.

Showcase your originality with distinctive fabrics

The texture of the fabric on your styling chair can add a unique touch to your salon. A snakeskin or crocodile-skin effect will look very original. Our advisers are on hand to tell you about the latest design trends for all My Salon de Coiffure hairdressing furniture.
