Salon Furniture & Equipment

Salon furniture needs to support a repeatable working layout: a suitable seat, accessible tools and a clear route around the client.

Salon furniture needs to support a repeatable working layout: a suitable seat, accessible tools and a clear route around the client. Choose stool height and storage position together. A trolley that holds everything is only useful if its drawers can open without blocking movement or interfering with the service.

Match the stool to the working height

The Artiss saddle stool adjusts from 50 to 67 cm and has a swivel seat. Compare that range with the bench or treatment surface, and consider where your feet will rest. A round stool and a saddle seat offer different sitting shapes; height adjustment does not make them equivalent.

Give trolleys a parking position

Place daily tools where they can be reached without stretching across the client. Check drawer opening space and whether the trolley’s wheels suit the intended floor. Keep the route around the station clear so a movable trolley does not become a permanent obstacle.

Separate warming from sterilisation

A towel warmer creates a place for warmed towels; it should not be assumed to sterilise instruments. If hygiene processing is part of your service, use equipment and procedures appropriate to that task. Confirm the exact appliance’s instructions rather than relying on a UV or steriliser phrase in its title.

Questions about salon furniture & equipment

How do I choose a salon stool height?

Compare the adjustment range with the work surface and the position of the client, then consider where your feet can rest. A saddle seat and a round seat place the body differently even at the same stated height. Allow room to move the stool without trapping it between the trolley and the station.

Where should a salon trolley stand during a service?

Place it where the tools can be reached without leaning across the client, while keeping the route around the station open. Include the space taken by an extended drawer and any trailing cable. A trolley’s compact closed footprint can be misleading if it blocks movement whenever it is being used.

Can a UV towel cabinet sterilise salon instruments?

Do not use a UV or towel-warmer label as evidence of instrument sterilisation. Warming towels and processing reusable skin-penetrating instruments are different tasks. Use equipment and a validated process appropriate to the service, following the applicable health requirements. NSW Health specifically distinguishes UV cabinets from steam-under-pressure sterilisation.
