We have a separate article explained in depth and great details about how to choose these salon chairs, check it out this article under our Salon Advice: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HAIR SALON EQUIPMENT
  • Customer Chair: customer chairs look very similar to office chairs and of course you can use them as office chairs for your staff as well, but they will also serve with some specially designed features for both the client and the nail tech to maximize the comfort of the manicure process, for instances, the customer chair’s backrest is reclinable for client’s best comfortable posture; the seat height can be adjusted to the perfect height to work with your manicure table; the armrests of the customer chair are also adjustable for the best practice of a manicure service; the leather/upholstery is made of acetone resistant material and very easy to clean and maintain; the pump and casters are heavy duty and can be moved around smoothly… 
  • Manicure Technician Chair or Technician Stool: the technician stools such as our TOTO and DAYTON, are on top of our best seller list for professional nail salons welcomed by thousands of nail technicians just because they’ve made their everyday work easy and comfy.  
  • Pedicure Technician Stool or Pedicure Stool: if we use one word to describe the pedicure stools - they are “Short”. Those short technician stools are specifically designed for nail techs sitting by the pedicure spa tub to provide pedicure service. You would want them be 1) able to be lowered to the pedicure tub footrest height for your easy working on the pedicure arts; 2) flexible and smoothly to move around; 3) with high density thick cushion and backrest to support you over a long day; 4) with acetone-resistant vinyl to prevent spills or drips from ruining the stool; and 5) featured in adjustable height with durable pneumatic lift pump.     
  • Esthetician Stool for Spa: esthetician stools are mainly for spa technician’s usage, such as doing eyelash, makeup, facial, tattoo, etc.  They should be ergonomically-designed to keep the beauty therapists pain-free from one appointment to the next. They often come with a saddle seat design with an adjustable height of 21” to 28” to make sure it’ll provide the best thigh support to the technicians.
  • Tattoo Artist Chairs/Stool: As tattoo sessions can last for hours, the importance of ergonomics design of a tattoo artist chair cannot be emphasized more. Unique shape specially designed for tattooing, solid steel construction, dense padding with textured upholstery, are the top key features when we produce and source the best tattoo artist chairs for you.
