A hairdressing chair isn’t just a chair. It’s the heart of a hair salon, and it’s where you, as a hairdresser, spend most of your working day. The right hairdressing chair can make a world of difference—both for your comfort and for your clients’ experience. At Just Add People, we offer a wide selection of hairdressing chairs that combine ergonomics, style, and functionality, so you can find the exact model that fits your salon’s needs.

Hairdressing chairs are a broad category that covers several different chair types, such as styling chairs and salon stools. At Just Add People, you’ll find classic hairdressing chairs, modern hairdressing chairs, and ergonomic hairdressing chairs and salon stools that make for a better workday for you as a hairdresser and a better experience for your clients. Also take a look at our washing units, which are perfect for creating a luxurious experience for your clients during hair washing.

What is a hairdressing chair?

In the hair industry, the term "hairdressing chair" can mean a lot of different things. That’s why we’ve gathered all the chair categories here, so you can always find the right chair for you. "Hairdressing chair" can refer to both the chair your client sits in during the service, and the chair the hairdresser uses while cutting. Many also call the styling chair a hydraulic chair, because it can be adjusted in height with a pump that’s usually mounted under the seat. Of course, you’ll also find hydraulic chairs on this page. The styling chair is where the client sits, and it needs to be comfortable, easy to adjust, and durable enough for everyday use. Many of our hairdressing chairs come with extra features like swivel and tilt functions, so you can work freely around your clients without any hassle. We also have chairs that adjust in height with a gas lift or pump, so you can easily adapt the chair to different clients and treatment situations.

Hairdressing chairs include

1. Styling chairs (For the client)
2. Salon stools (For the hairdresser)
3. Barber chairs (For the client)
4. Hydraulic chairs (For the client)

Ergonomics – how to avoid work injuries:

Hairdressers spend many hours every day standing with their shoulders raised, and that can lead to injuries in the back, shoulders, and neck. That’s why the ergonomics of your hairdressing chair matters. A good hairdressing chair can be adjusted in height and is designed to make sure you, as a hairdresser, have the right working posture.

Our ergonomic hairdressing chairs make sure both you and your clients stay comfortable throughout the treatment. The chairs are built with the fact in mind that hairdressers often work for long periods, and we know that even small ergonomic improvements can make a big difference to your health and your working day. Take a look at our salon stools, designed specifically for hairdressers who sit down while cutting. If you want to make the experience even more comfortable, you can also consider footrests for your styling chairs — either fixed-mounted or freestanding.

Correct seat height

How tall should a hairdressing chair be?

In most cases, styling chairs should be able to pump down to a seat height of 38–42 cm. Seat height is measured from the floor to the top of the seat. To make it easy for you to find the right styling chair, we’ve added the seat height directly on every product, so you can always see whether the chair is right for you. Of course, we always recommend visiting our showroom to try lots of different models, so you can find the styling chair that’s exactly right for you and your clients.

Salon stools vary more from hairdresser to hairdresser, because it really depends on how you use it. Some hairdressers sit all the way down, but many Danish hairdressers are almost standing on their salon stool and use it more as support. For that reason, it’s a good idea to try a few different models if you have the chance.

For many salons, design and looks matter just as much as functionality. The way your salon looks is part of your identity, so your hairdressing chairs should match the style you want to create.

Choose the right Hairdressing chair for your salon

When choosing hairdressing chairs, there are several factors you should consider. It’s not only about design and ergonomics, but also the practical features that make your day easier. Here are some of the most important things to consider:

Adjustability

A good Hairdressing chair should be easy to adjust in height, so you can adapt it to different clients and situations. With hydraulic or gas-lift pumps, you can easily adjust the chair height without using too much force. This is especially important if you work with clients of different heights, or if you have a busy day with lots of different treatments.

Comfort

Comfort is one of the most important factors for both hairdressers and clients. The chairs need to be comfortable to sit in, even during longer treatments, and they must support both the back and neck. Our styling chairs are designed to give the right support, so your clients can enjoy their time in the salon while you focus on delivering the best result.

For clients with special needs, such as older people or those with back problems, it can be a good idea to choose a chair with a built-in footrest for extra comfort.
