Roller Wheels: The New Standard

Two Types of Wheels – What’s the Difference?

Classic Wheels

• Commonly found on office chairs or similar furniture.
• Made of plastic, which easily collects hair, dust, and dirt in the ball bearings.
• Quickly gets “clogged,” making it almost impossible for the stool to roll.
• Not actually designed for hair salons.

Roller Wheels

• Specifically developed for salon use.
• Features a hair-repellent cover that protects the ball bearings from hair buildup.
• Made of anti-static rubber, preventing hair and dust accumulation.
• Rolls effortlessly—even with small movements.
• Hair gathers on the outer part of the wheel (on top), making it easy to remove if it even gets stuck at all.

The Problem with Classic Wheels

The only advantage of classic wheels is that many hairdressers are already familiar with them. Some are even used to their stool barely rolling because the wheels are always clogged. Ironically, for some people, this is actually a “benefit”: if the floor is slightly uneven, the stool won’t roll away.

From a functionality standpoint, however, this is far from ideal. Classic plastic wheels simply aren’t made to handle the sheer amount of hair that lands on the salon floor every day. They quickly become a daily frustration, forcing you to clean them constantly—or replace them altogether.

Why Are Roller Wheels the New Standard?

Roller Wheels are designed so you can focus on your work instead of struggling with a cutting stool that won’t move. The hair-repellent cover prevents hair and debris from entering the ball bearings, where they typically create friction and cause the stool to “stick” or lock up.

Key Advantages:

Hair-Repellent Cover

• No more picking or cutting hair out of clogged wheels.

Anti-Static Rubber

• Prevents static electricity from attracting hair and dust.

Longer Durability

• Less wear and tear, as hair won’t grind against the ball bearings over time.

What If the Stool Rolls Away?

The only thing to be aware of is that Roller Wheels glide incredibly smoothly. If your floor is slightly uneven, you might find that the stool “slides” away when you’re not sitting on it.

For most people, this is just a small adjustment period, but it’s actually a sign of quality—it proves how smoothly the wheels roll, free from hair blockages.

My Clear Recommendation

I highly recommend choosing Roller Wheels for cutting stools—especially in a professional hair salon. They offer:

✅ A better working environment – no more frustration with clogged wheels.
✅ Improved efficiency – easily adjust your position while working.
✅ Less maintenance – you’ll rarely (if ever) need to clean your wheels.

In Short

While classic wheels may feel familiar, they simply aren’t designed for salons where hair, dust, and debris constantly collect on the floor. Roller Wheels, on the other hand, are built specifically for this reality—ensuring that your stool functions flawlessly every time.

Still using office chair wheels on your cutting stool? Consider upgrading to Roller Wheels. Once you experience the difference—how effortlessly you can roll, and how much time and frustration you save—you’ll probably never look back.

That’s why we call Roller Wheels the new standard in the hairdressing industry.
