5 Essential Tips for Choosing the Best Barber Chair for Your Salon

Elevate Your Barber Shop with Professional Barber Chairs from CSS Salon Supplies

When designing a premium barber salon, one of the most crucial elements is the barber chair. It sets the tone for both aesthetics and comfort, directly influencing the customer experience. At Combined Salon Supplies CSS , we provide a range of high-quality barber furniture in the UK that combines durability, functionality, and unbeatable style.

1. Functionality: Choose a Chair That Works as Hard as You Do

An eye-catching design is important, but functionality is key for day-to-day salon operations. A top-tier professional barber chair should include features like:

• Hydraulic height adjustment for ergonomic comfort

• Rotating headrests and reclining backs

• Comfort-enhancing footrests and neck support

Different customers require different needs—tall, short, or heavy-set individuals should all feel equally supported. Chairs like our Lisbon Barber Chair provide both structure and flexibility to serve a wide clientele.

2. Quality & Durability: Invest in Long-Term Value

Barber chairs are an investment, not a short-term purchase. Look for materials such as chrome, stainless steel, high-density foam, and premium vinyl or leather upholstery. These elements ensure longevity under heavy daily use.

Our Edinburgh Barber Chair combines a sturdy frame with ergonomic support—ideal for busy UK barbershops.

3. Aesthetics: Match Your Salon's Personality

Barber furniture should reflect your shop’s brand and style. Whether you're aiming for a vintage, minimalist, or modern look, colour and design matter. Coordinating chairs with your salon interior creates a polished and inviting environment. 

For a bohemian edge, our Lisbon Model is a customer favourite.

4. Material Selection: Built to Last and Easy to Clean

For long-term performance, consider:

• Cast aluminum and chrome for frame durability

• Vinyl upholstery for stain-resistant, easy-to-maintain surfaces

• Electric or manual reclining systems depending on budget and usage needs

Chairs crafted from these materials stay stylish and functional, even with high daily traffic.

5. Price & Value: Quality Barber Chairs at Competitive Prices

Set a budget, but don't compromise on quality. With a wide product range, Combined Salon Supplies CSS helps you strike the right balance between price and performance. We stock versatile models suitable for all business sizes—from entry-level options to high-end luxury barber chairs.

What Makes a Good Barber Chair?

An ideal barber chair prioritises client comfort and barber efficiency. It should:

• Provide lumbar and neck support

• Be fully adjustable to suit various service positions

• Ensure stability through a heavy-duty base

With the Edinburgh Barber Chair, you get premium leather, back support, and chrome features that blend nostalgia with modern comfort.

For a bohemian edge, our Lisbon Model is a customer favourite.

Barber Chair vs. Styling Chair: Know the Difference

Barber chairs are typically heavier, equipped with hydraulic lifts, recliners, and footrests. Styling chairs, while cost-effective, are more lightweight and lack features essential for shaving or beard grooming.

If you need versatility, durability, and classic appeal, a professional barber chair from Combined Salon Supplies CSS is the clear winner.

How High Should a Barber Chair Go?

Adjustable height is crucial for customer satisfaction and barber posture. Most professional barber chairs adjust between 19.5" and 31". For children, consider models like the Toy Story Kids Chair, offering both fun and safety.
