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. When you buy from salon city every pedicure spa comes with 1 year warranty and the option to upgrade to 3 or 5 years. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of installing your new spas Salon city has got you covered!

  • Adjustability: Look for features like reclining backrests, adjustable footrests, and swivel seating to maximize both client and technician comfort. All Mayakoba pedicure spas come with the option to add auto fill for technician ease in a busy salon, and the new Mayakoba FX & DX models come with the option to add a tub remote so technicians can easily adjust their client closer or further to them without the hassle of getting up to reach a remote or asking their client.
  • Regulations Compliance: Ensure the chair meets your local plumbing, electrical, and sanitation standards before purchasing.

Compare the Different Types Of Pedicure Chairs

Not all pedicure chairs are alike—here are a few common types you’ll encounter:

  • Plumbed Chairs: Permanently installed with direct plumbing and drainage, ideal for salons with the space and infrastructure.
  • Non-Plumbing Chairs: Great for smaller spaces or mobile services since they don’t require plumbing connections.
  • Portable Foot Spas: Perfect for mobile nail techs or salons needing flexible setups. Easy to move, pipeless, and relaxing, these compact spas deliver professional results anywhere.
  • Premium Models: High-end designs with luxury finishes, advanced massage options, and customizable colors for an upscale vibe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the discharge pump, air vent, and auto-fill, and what do they do?
The discharge pump allows the tub to drain water through a wall-drain setup and can pump water up to approximately 4 feet in height. If you have a floor drain, a discharge pump is not required. The auto-fill feature automatically fills the tub with water and helps prevent overfilling. The air vent helps remove chemicals and odors by connecting the pedicure spa to your building's ventilation system. Please note that the air vent components installed in the spa base are connection parts only. Your building must already have a built-in ventilation system before selecting this option.

There are two types of draining applications.
What kind of electricity will I need to install with the unit? How many amps?
