Barber Chairs for Barbershops and Salons
As the owner of a barbershop or hair salon, you will want to invest in durable, quality barber supplies and equipment to better service your clients. Purchasing barber chairs that are of high quality will convey the right ideas about your establishment in that you are serious about your work and take great care into all aspects of the business. Take into consideration the following factors and your barbershop or salon will surely have returning clients.
How Much Does a Barber Chair Cost?
Your barber chairs will probably be the biggest investment that you will make in your barbershop or salon business. Barber chair prices can range from $150 - $2000, so when you buy your barber chairs, you want to make sure you choose carefully. It is important to take into consideration the décor of your establishment when you make your purchase, but the usability and durable quality of the chair should be of primary importance.
Barber Chairs Style & Size
Barbers chairs can vary greatly in size and style. If you are limited with the space available in your establishment, a smaller size with greater adjustability is recommended. Attention paid to the functionality and ease in control that your barber chair provides will be beneficial to both your barbers and clients. Steel is the recommended material by many professionals and especially here at Keller International. As an engineering based company, we are well versed in what is ideal for long-term use and steel is one of the few materials that do well over extended periods of time. Steel frames for your barber chairs are highly recommended. As far as upholstery material, leather and PVC are the only really ideal options as these are easiest to clean and most reliable in the long-term.
Barber Chair Durability
An important aspect to the durability of your barber chair is its safety factor. It is important to pay great attention to the diameter and steel thickness of the barber chair base plate. A round chrome base plate should be a minimum of 26.2 inches in diameter and a steel thickness of about 1/8 of an inch. Any bases smaller in diameter or thickness could result in accidents. There have been many unfortunate cases where clients are flipped backwards or forwards in the chair because of small, unstable bases. Additionally, the hydraulic pump, which allows for raising and lowering of the chair itself, should be between 35-40 mm. It should also be able to lift at least 400 lbs. This translates to the strength and longevity of the chair itself and therefore, is the most important factor to consider when making purchases for your barbershop or salon.
