The wash station is arguably the most critical touchpoint in the client experience, bridging technical service with luxurious relaxation. For salon owners seeking to maximize operational efficiency while delivering unparalleled comfort, investing in a high-quality, integrated shampoo chair and basin set is paramount.
We are proud to introduce our latest line of professional Hairdressing Basin Units—engineered for durability, designed for ergonomics, and built to transform the simple washing process into a signature moment of luxury.
A superior backwash unit is more than just a chair and a sink; it is a finely tuned system that addresses the needs of both the stylist and the client. Our new units integrate sophisticated design features to ensure longevity and unparalleled comfort.
Client discomfort during the wash phase is the quickest way to downgrade a luxury service. Our chairs feature high-density foam cushioning with specialized lumbar support and deep-seated contours. The critical component is the integrated gel neck rest, which cradles the client’s neck and prevents strain, even during extended treatments.
The basin, often referred to as the hairwashing bowl, is constructed from heavy-duty, glazed ceramic. This material is highly resistant to staining, chipping, and chemical corrosion, ensuring easy sanitation and long-term aesthetic appeal.
Key Basin Features:
Recognizing the constant exposure to water, dyes, and chemicals, the chair upholstery is crafted from premium, water-resistant PVC leatherette. This material is not only stylish but requires minimal effort to clean, resisting stains and retaining its professional appearance for years of high-volume use.
When selecting a unit, functionality, and certification are key indicators of quality and reliability. The following table outlines the core features that differentiate professional-grade basins from standard fixtures:
| Feature | Unit Specification | Professional Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Chair Upholstery | Heavy-Duty PVC Leatherette | Chemical and water stain resistance; simplified sanitation. |
| Basin Material | Glazed Ceramic (High-Grade) | Superior durability, scratch resistance, and easy sterilization. |
| Plumbing Fixtures | UPC/cUPC Certified | Guarantees compliance with North American plumbing standards; ensures reliable, leak-free operation. |
| Neck Support | Integrated Silicone/Gel Cushion | Eliminates neck strain, significantly enhancing client comfort. |
| Structure | Rust-Resistant Powder-Coated Steel Frame | Offers exceptional stability and longevity in moist environments. |
| Water Control | Thermostatic Mixing Valve (Optional) | Ensures precise water temperature, preventing accidental scalding. |
A: A Shampoo Bowl typically refers only to the ceramic sink component. A Backwash Unit (or backwash chair) is the complete, integrated set, including the chair, the plumbing fixtures, and the bowl. The term "backwash" signifies that the client leans backward into the bowl, which is the standard configuration for professional salons.
A: While the units come pre-assembled, professional installation by a licensed plumber is strongly recommended. They require standard hot and cold water supply lines and a floor or wall drain line. Our units utilize certified fixtures (UPC/cUPC) to ensure compatibility and compliance with local building codes.
A: Ceramic is highly non-porous. To maintain its appearance, the bowl should be rinsed immediately after any dyeing or chemical treatment. For daily cleaning, a non-abrasive, mild solution is sufficient. Avoid highly corrosive cleaners that can damage the glaze or the adjacent plumbing fittings.
A: Integrated shampoo chairs are typically fixed and do not fully recline like styling chairs. However, the ergonomic design ensures the client is positioned comfortably for the wash. The crucial element of adjustability lies in the tilting ceramic bowl, which moves to accommodate the client’s head comfortably.
