The Purpose of Spa Chairs
Spa chairs vary as do the purpose of them. A typical spa chair is meant to do two things, be adjustable for the user and comfortable for the client. A typical spa chair is used mostly in beauty salons where the professional can work on a client's hair, face or nails with ease. You can also find them in spas, clinics, and some doctor's offices. Some of these chairs allow the backs to be adjusted and the armrests as well.
Most spa chairs are upholstered in some type of vinyl or plastic. This is allows for easy cleaning between clients. Because of the smooth and wipe able material they can be easily disinfected as well. This provides for a safe and healthy experience for not only the client but the professional too.
There are also specific types of spa chairs such as a pedicure spa chair. These chairs are designed so that while the client is getting their pedicure they are doing it in a relaxing comfortable position. These chairs also allow for the pedicurist to work easily and because they are height adjustable it creates less strain on the technician. There is normally a tub space located at the foot rest for convenience. Some pedicure models have storage space for tools and accessories needed to do the pedicure making the technicians part a little easier.
Some professional facilities and personnel prefer doing massage from a massage spa chair than a table. This can take some strain off the lower back of the masseuse. They are lighter and more portable than a bed or table. The client's head fits snuggly into the headrest which allows for more comfort.
The client's comfort is important when choosing a spa chair. Although most are very well padded for client comfort, some of the more elaborate ones come with heating available. These are usually found in the higher end salons and spas. Because these chairs are made of plastic or vinyl they can be cold to the clients and having heated cushions can be a plus. And because everyone knows that massage feels good there are ones available that can provide just that. These types of chairs can keep the client coming back.
Many manufacturers have taken in consideration how spas and salons put so much care into the decor of their facilities and have created stools and carts to coordinate with the spa chairs. So choosing the right decor for your business has gotten a little easier.
There are a number of manufacturers of spa chairs, all providing similar options and some unique ones. And depending on your needs and space available will help determine which models would best suit your business. It's always advisable to do some comparison shopping prior to your purchase. One of the best ways to comparison shop is to check the reviews for the several styles that may interest you. A good review search can take the headache out of making the right choice. No matter what type of spa chair you may be in the market for there is one available to fit into any budget.
