Top 5 Hair Salon Furniture Tips

We have had a long relationship with the great folks at Belvedere Maletti and they have been invaluable to us with their knowledge of Salon & Barber Equipment and expertise on Salon & Barber furnishings. So much so we decided to pass some of their great tips on to our readers, so when you are making the decision of what new salon equipment to purchase you will be professionally informed.

"The vibe in a salon environment should make your clients look and feel beautiful."

Here are the top 5 things to look for when purchasing top quality salon/barber furnishings:

• Salon styling/barbering chairs

Styling chairs are the most crucial piece of equipment in a beauty shop. Durability, comfort and style are the key features to look for when investing in chairs. For example, Belvedere’s seat wood is made out of a 6 plywood construction with high density foam ensuring solid support for the client’s needs. It is also important to make sure the manufacturer offers at least a 5 year warranty on the hydraulic pumps.

• Cabinetry

Cabinetry is an essential part any hair salon environment. It should be highly functional and offer smart storage for the hairdresser. Custom cabinetry is one of Belvedere’s specialties. Some special materials we use are stainless steel, glass and hard surfaces such as quartz. Other features include heavy gauge hinges and full drawer extension glides. Our rollabouts and mobile stations are popular choices for flexibility. Laminate is an excellent material/finish to use on cabinetry as it can withstand wear and tear in a salon environment.

“True beauty is a beautiful inside.”

• Shampoo bowls/backwash units

The shampoo experience is what most clients look forward to in a hair salon. When shopping around for shampoo unit options, it should be an ergonomically designed unit for maximizing comfort for both the client and operator. Most shampoo unit products on the market are not flexible and/or customizable for certain salon set ups/situations. Look for wall mount pivot sinks, built-in sink in cabinetry options, backwash units and material options for durability and longevity. Belvedere is the only manufacturer in the industry that offers cast iron/porcelain enamel sinks which can come in a variety of colors that can complement the décor of any space.

• Salon design services

It is good practice to choose manufacturers that couple their products with their designs. Space planning and material selections are a few design services that manufacturers can offer. Belvedere is on the forefront of top interior design trends and can offer furniture design, design services and creative solutions for new construction projects, remodels or expansion projects.

• First class quality products/services

Just like any shopping experience, “You get what you pay for.” Belvedere has been providing the highest quality products and services to the salon industry in the U.S.A. since 1927. Belvedere is now proud to introduce the new partnership with Maletti: two leading brands in the world of hairdresser and beauty salons getting together to offer our clients the highest quality of Made in Italy’s craftsmanship, design, technology and innovation.

Belvedere Maletti’s products and services can meet the demands of exceptional quality designs. Visit a salon furnishings showroom prior to your purchase and consult with an experienced salon designer. In the end, it is a smart move and will ensure your confidence in investing for your future’s salon/barbering business.
