A typical spa or beauty salon equipment set will include a shampoo chair, shampoo bowl, hair styling chair, and more. This spa equipment is vital to a successful salon. These products can be found from wholesale retailers in physical locations or online. When purchasing professional salon equipment, you must consider shipping and installation costs as well as the cost of the equipment itself because of the weight and construction of these large items.

A shampoo chair can come in a variety of styles. There are wall-mounted units complete with a shampoo bowl attached, free-standing units with a bowl attached, and shampoo chairs with no bowls. Units with shampoo bowls average around $700 and up, with used equipment costing significantly less. Chairs alone sell for under $200 for basic varieties. Shampoo bowls alone can be up to $500 or more, although the average manufacturer suggested price is much less ($250). Made of acrylic, marble and other durable materials, these bowls are ergonomically designed with the necks of your clients in mind.

Hairstyling Chairs
Hairstyling chairs can be found from resellers, wholesalers or online discounters as well. Featuring hydraulic technology to easily lift and lower clients, these chairs average $190-$400 in manufacturer suggested prices price. Most offer extended warranties, up to three years on the hydraulic mechanism alone.

Although it varies from dealer to dealer, a hairstyling chair will usually ship within three to five days if in stock when purchased online. In most cases, you can also customize chairs and other salon equipment with logos, custom artwork, or special upholstery. Typically, turnaround time for custom salon equipment is very slow (up to 16 weeks), and the items come with a no-return policy. Those who wish to purchase salon equipment at a significant discount, however, should shop eBay.
