A salon stool has many names in the industry. A hairdressing chair, a hairdressing chair with wheels, a salon chair, treatment stools and many more. The salon stool is what you [frisøren] sits on when cutting your client’s hair.
It is 100% individual. I always recommend trying lots of different ones and buying the one that suits you best. It is a bit like showing your mother how fast you could run in your new shoes before buying them and taking them home. Choosing a salon stool with a saddle can offer an ergonomic advantage. Read on below.
Denmark is the only country in the world that uses salon stools with backrests. Most people only use the backrest to grip and move the stool between treatments.
Proper ergonomics are incredibly important and are what allow you to continue working as a hairdresser. The rule of thumb is that you should sit comfortably all day. Choosing a salon stool with a saddle gives your lower back an ergonomic tilt. Note that this does not necessarily apply to all models. Try lots of them and find your favourite.
Advantages of salon stools with wheels: Salon stools with wheels offer easy mobility, quick adjustment of your working position for optimal ergonomics, and the opportunity to create different or even new work areas during busy periods in salons with more than one client station.

Disadvantages of hairdressing chairs with wheels: Wheels are moving parts and require maintenance. You can make things easier for yourself by choosing anti-static wheels with a good, secure hair-repellent cover.
Advantages of salon stools without wheels: Salon stools without wheels, often called a treatment stool, offer a different range of benefits. A treatment stool is the right choice for you if you provide longer treatments and want a stable base where you can focus solely on the client without unnecessary movement. Some salons choose treatment stools for the washing area, allowing you to sit steadily while, for example, giving the client a relaxing scalp massage. Shop treatment stools here
Disadvantages of hairdressing chairs without wheels: The only disadvantage is that they cannot be moved around. If you need mobility, a treatment stool is not the right choice for you. Choose a salon stool instead. Most treatment stools now come with an ergonomic tilt in the seat. See, for example, the Flex treatment stool from Vismara
Do you have lots of clients in the salon? Hair everywhere? Buy a salon stool with a hair-repellent cover. It is a small cover that sits over all the wheels on your salon stool. It usually cannot be added afterwards, so buy a salon stool that comes with one. This could be this one, for example.
It is called a salon stool, not a hairdressing chair :)
