After more than 30 years, we know just about all the equipment a hair salon might need, not just the chairs. Here's the complete list of things and gear you need to have in place before opening your doors, or when you simply want an overview of what a salon actually consists of.
If you'd like help choosing between specific models, I've written a full guide to choosing salon equipment and furniture. This list is about getting the big picture first.
The workstation itself is the heart of the salon. You'll need a salon stool for yourself, a styling chair for the client, and a mirror built for professional use; ordinary bathroom mirrors won't hold up to daily salon use. You'll also need a trolley for your tools and a color trolley if you work with color on a larger scale.
Good lighting is the piece of equipment people most often forget to add to their list, but it determines whether you get the color just right and the cut precisely right. Without proper professional lighting, you won't spot mistakes until the client has gone home.
A good washing unit is just as much about your back as your customer’s comfort. It’s one of the places where you spend the most time standing, leaning forward, throughout the day.
Your reception desk is the first thing a new customer sees. If you sell products to your customers, a display shelf is also part of the reception area, so the products aren’t just lying around on the desk.
Waiting room furniture is easy to skimp on, but it creates the first impression for customers who arrive a little early, and it’s a place where many actually decide to come back.
Extraction and towel warmers for disinfection often end up at the bottom of the list because customers can’t see them. But they determine whether you’ll still be able to work in the salon ten years from now without damage to your body or lungs.

If you’ve ever searched for “hairdressing chairs” and ended up looking at a chair for the client instead of yourself, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common points of confusion in the industry, and we’re clearing it up once and for all. In short: there are two types of chairs in a salon. There’s the chair you sit on. And there’s the chair your client sits on. It sounds simple. But in practice, the terms are often used interchangeably, making it difficult to find the right one when you shop online.
