How to choose your shampoo bowl?
How to choose the ideal shampoo basin for your hair salon? Indeed, it is one of the key elements of your salon as it is the ultimate relaxation moment for your clients. You must therefore take into account several criteria to make your choice of shampoo basin such as its comfort and style.

The comfort of the seat
The seating comfort of the bac shampoing coiffeur must be a priority when making your purchase! When your clients are seated in the bac shampoing, they should enjoy a moment of relaxation. We advise you to choose a firm yet comfortable seat and backrest. Moreover, it is recommended to choose a bac with armrests. Prefer an armrest for each arm if you opt for bacs shampoing in the shape of a sofa, so that clients are not disturbed if someone is next to them to sit comfortably. Cushions can also be added to support the lumbar region and thus make the seat even more comfortable.
Consider the ergonomics and comfort of the basin
The basin should not break your client's neck. That is why a basin with an oscillating system provides additional comfort to your hairdressing shampoo bowl as it can be adjusted according to each person. Silicone neck protectors can be added to support the neck and make this moment more pleasant.
Its ergonomics are just as important! Its width as well as its equipment must provide you with working comfort just like the taps. All our bacs shampooing come with the mixer tap and the shower head. You can also find a drain that holds back hair or a mixer tap with an anti-drip system. The latter allows you to save water but also prevents drips on the seated client and the unpleasant sensation of cold drops on the neck.
The footrest, the trendy relax option!
You have probably already seen professional shampoo bowls with an electric or manual footrest! This relaxing option allows the client to stretch their legs and thus enjoy an optimal moment of relaxation. This semi-reclined position is highly appreciated by your clientele who will feel very comfortable. Do not hesitate to introduce this option to distinguish yourself from the competition and to have your clients become your own ambassadors.
The massage function, absolute relaxation
The massaging shampoo basin is the trend in hair salons! These wash basins offer massages thanks to the remote control activation of this function. What better than an ultimate moment of relaxation thanks to the basin massages as well as scalp massages during your services?
You can find different types of massage such as shiatsu, vibration or even air massage. For shiatsu massage, balls will rotate in the backrest to relax your client. The vibration massage emits light vibrations in the backrest or even the seat that help relax the person seated. Air massage is the ultimate massage! A very gentle sensation that is ultra pleasant for relaxing and relieving back pain for example.
The design
Remember that your bacs shampooing are the central elements of your hair salon! They must therefore match the atmosphere and decoration of your professional space. If you have chosen a rather natural style, you can find bacs shampooing with wooden elements and a brown colour. For a rather industrial style, black and metal finishes will be very suitable for your atmosphere. If you lean towards a cocooning salon, the cream colour will be appropriate. Don't hesitate to play with the colours and elements of the bacs to harmonise your hairdressing space. At Malys Équipements, you will find many designs with numerous options to meet all your criteria and needs!
Steps to choose the ideal model
When purchasing your shampoo basins, you need to consider the different steps to make an informed choice while respecting your needs :
-
The dimension : It is necessary for you to measure the available space to accommodate your basins. You cannot choose the same model if you have a large or a small hair salon. This will also allow you to know how many basins you can line up. If you have a small hair salon and you do not have space to place two basins side by side, you can find sofa shampoo basins that offer two sinks on a single module and thus save a few centimetres and be able to accommodate several clients at the same time.
