Whether it's an Antique Barber Chair or a Barber Chair fresh out of the box if you want it to last, what you use to clean it matters.

After repairing Salon Furniture and Barber Equipment for 25 years now, we have seen a lot of chairs in unbelievably bad shape.

Experience has taught us the first thing to go is upholstery, and that is because of the inappropriate chemicals used to clean them. Customers have admitted to using everything from floor cleaners to window cleaners and even crazy mixtures in between.

This is a fact, if you want your Barber Chair or Salon Chair to last then you need to use the proper cleaners. Leather and vinyl are porous substances and cannot be cleaned with alcohol or ammonia-based solutions.

One of our favorite restoration stories involves a vintage 1921 Koken barber chair and a family that refused to let it sit in storage any longer. The client was the grandson of the original owner.

We were told the chair had moved from his house as a child, to his college dorm, then into storage for years. These vintage barber chairs all have individual histories that beckon to be told.

Through the restoration process, we get to hear these wonderful stories told by the Barbers who own the chairs, family members who have held on to chairs for years, and the avid collector.

In memory of his grandfather, he decided to have it restored. Throughout his life, it was a symbol of how his father, an immigrant, worked tirelessly to provide for his family on a barber’s salary.

Along with the barber chair, he had several newspaper write-ups featuring his grandfather’s shop and several pictures of him at work.

With a little digging, we found the original shop that sold the chair brand new out of New York.

WITH more than 20 + years experience in salon and barber equipment repair we promise a memorable restoration by providing affordable pricing without ever sacrificing quality or materials, unparalleled customer service and communication, as well as a Barber Chair you can be proud of for generations.
