Decide between barber chairs with hydraulic or electric bases The majority of barber chairs are adjusted via hydraulic pumps and usually run between $150 to $1000 for hydraulic salon chairs and $700-2000 for hydraulic barber chairs. Choosing a motorized base will increase this range, on average, from $1000 to $2000 dollars. When choosing between these options, take maintenance costs, such as motor repair, into account.

I recommend:  Iowa Beauty & Barber Supply offers a variety of barber chairs with both standard and motorized bases. Keller International offers affordable barber chairs with both electric and hydraulic bases.

Choose salon chairs with style options that fit your budget This is an area where you can really control the price of your barbershop or beauty salon chair. Simple styles with vinyl upholstery can start in the $100 to $200 range. More elaborate options such as leather upholstery wood paneling, or artistic design can increase that base price from $500 to $2000, depending on the options chosen.

I recommend:  A wide selection of unique and reasonably priced salon and barber chairs can be found Salon Equipment USA. For some of the highest quality professional salon and barbershop furniture, the industry turns to Takara Belmont and Belvedere.

Consider purchasing used barber chairs and salon chairs Buying gently used salon equipment can be a cost-effective option to acquire high end chairs at drastically reduced prices. If you have access to affordable maintenance services, you can make the most of this option by purchasing chairs needing rehabilitating for even lower prices. Be sure to research any used barber chair suppliers before purchasing and make sure to ask for additional information and pictures to ensure you have full disclosure of the condition of the item.

I recommend:  American Beauty Equipment and Wholesale Salon Equipment both offer an ever-changing inventory of quality used salon and barber chairs, including models from trusted companies such as Belvedere.
