Things to look out for when choosing a Barbers Chair

Barber chairs are specialised chairs which are designed specifically for use in barbershops and salons.

They are engineered to provide the maximum comfort and functionality for both the barber and the client. They've been around since the 19th century and have evolved dramatically in terms of design, materials, and features.

Key Features to consider when buying a Barber Chair
Reclining Function - Most barber chairs sold by Direct Salon Furniture can recline to allow easy access for haircuts, shaves, and facial grooming. Our high-end models often have a hydraulic or electric reclining mechanism for smooth adjustments.

Hydraulic or Electric Height Adjustment - Hydraulic pumps allow the barber to raise or lower the chair easily, adapting to the height of the client and the barber’s comfort. Some modern barber chairs have electric height adjustment for more precision.

360-Degree Rotation - The ability to swivel makes it easy for the barber to reach different angles without repositioning the client.

Headrest and Footrest - Adjustable and removable headrests help with shaving and detailed grooming. Foldable footrests enhance client comfort and can be adjusted or retracted as needed.

Heavy-Duty Build – to endure the wear and tear of a working barber shop, barber chair frames are often made of stainless steel or cast iron for durability. Upholstery is typically high-quality leather or synthetic material that is able to resist stains and is easy to clean.

Retro vs. Modern Styles - Classic barber chair designs often feature tufted leather, chrome detailing, and the vintage aesthetics reminiscent of early 20th-century designs and classic films! In contrast, more chairs that give a nod to modernity designs might include sleeker lines, minimalist detailing, and more ergonomic features.
