How to Choose the Right Pedicure Chair for Your Salon
One of the most impactful investments you can make in your salon is a quality pedicure chair. The right chair not only ensures comfort and hygiene for your clients but also improves your workflow and elevates your salon’s aesthetic. Here’s how to find the perfect one for your space and needs.
Consider These Key Features
When shopping for a pedicure chair, keep these essential features in mind:
- ➤ Massage Functionality: Many chairs include massage systems, from basic vibration to advanced Shiatsu models, providing a relaxing experience for clients. The Mayakoba Shiatsulogic chairs offer a full function massage including rolling, kneading, tapping, pressing, and knocking—for a soothing, customizable treatment where you can also change the intensity of the massage.
- ➤ Hygiene & Jets: Opt for pipeless technology for easy cleaning and safer, more sanitary service with a removable jet head that can easily be cleaned or swapped between each client. As well as every bowl can easily fit a standard pedicure liner ensuring client hygiene for each pedicure..
- ➤ Build Quality & Warranty: Choose a chair constructed from durable materials with a strong warranty to protect your investment.
