Shampoo Chairs Have Come A Long Way

The shampoo area of salons have certainly evolved over the years.  Shampoo bowls were only mounted to the wall or side of cabinets for side-washing only.  Standard shampoo chairs in the past were simply auto-recline with the client laying back to allow the back cushion to move back with the client, or a lever-control activated back cushion to recline.  Recline levers can be sensative and sticky, they can break, and that can all lead to frustration.  While each of those options and features are all still available, technology and time have allowed for the innovation of backwashing techniques and backwash units, and electric shampoo chairs.  Electric shampoo chairs allow you to control the upward and downward movements of the chair at the tips of your fingers by using a hand-held remote.  The electric shampoo chair has a fixed relationship between the seat and back, and the chair moves up toward the bowl at an approximate 30 degree angle for seamless transition into shampooing position.  No need to use a footpedal to pump the chair up and down, or recline it back!  See our Collins "ES" series of electric shampoo chairs to take a look for yourself - available as a 12ES, 14ES, 15ES, 16ES, 18ES, 19ES, 67ES, and 69ES.  You'll want to ensure you have bowls installed at the proper height as well as proper electrical sourcing to bring this setup from dream to reality.  Some shampoo chairs, and even backwashes, also have an electric legrest; see our 2850 and 2880 models.  In only a few seconds, you can raise and lower the legrest of your chair through similar, electric controls.  If you're looking for a change, electric shampoo chairs are a way to go.
