Are you looking for a treatment stool or ergonomic professional stool for your salon or clinic? Whether you are a hairdresser, cosmetologist, tattoo artist or clinic practitioner, you or your client spend hours in the chair every day, and the right stool makes a real difference to both your body and your work. Here you will find treatment stools in several different designs, from saddle stools without backrests to classic stools with backrests and roller wheels, from brands such as Comfortel, Solida Furniture, Takara Belmont and Vismara.
There are several things to consider before you choose. Here are the most important ones.
Your need for a treatment stool depends on what you use it for. As a hairdresser, you rarely sit still for very long at a time, and a stool with wheels that you can easily move around the client is often preferable. As a tattoo artist or cosmetologist, you typically work more seated and precisely during longer treatments, where a stable stool without wheels, such as Yume, provides a firmer base to work from. So first consider how long you typically sit in the stool at a time and how much you move around during the treatment before choosing a model.
A saddle stool, such as Stella, has a curved seat that supports your back through the shape of the seat itself, without the stool having a backrest. Compared with a regular flat seat, this keeps your back in a more natural, upright position throughout the day. On the other hand, a saddle stool takes some getting used to if you are not familiar with one, and some people prefer a traditional seat with a backrest, where the back support is more obvious and immediate. If you have back problems or sit for many hours a day, a saddle stool is worth trying, but we recommend trying it in our showroom first, as the experience is very individual.
Rolio is an example of a classic stool with a soft backrest that provides immediate support without any adjustment period. A round salon stool without a backrest, such as the Round series, offers greater freedom of movement because you are not restricted by a backrest when turning or leaning to the side to work. Choose a backrest if you typically sit for long periods with the same client, and choose a stool without a backrest if you need to move freely around the stool throughout the treatment.
Several models, such as Rolio and Stella, have roller wheels with hair-resistant covers, so hair and dust do not get caught in the wheels as easily as they do with standard wheels in a hair salon. If you need to move quickly between different positions around the client, wheels are a clear advantage. If you work with precision tasks where the stool needs to remain completely stationary, such as tattooing, a model without wheels, such as Yume, can provide a more stable experience because the stool is less likely to move while you work.
Flex differs from the other models by being an oscillating, rocking stool, where the seat moves with your body instead of remaining completely fixed. This can relieve your back and hips during a long working day because you are not sitting completely statically. On most models, the height is adjusted using a button beneath the seat, so you can quickly adapt the stool to the individual client or to yourself if several employees share the same stool during the day.
Most treatment stools are upholstered in faux leather or foam with a cover that is easy to wipe clean between clients. Flex is available in a wide range of colours, making it easy to match with the rest of your salon’s interior or to use colour to distinguish between different stations. If you choose a model in darker colours, it will typically be more forgiving of stains from colour or pigment than a light model.
The price varies depending on the brand, material and features such as wheels and backrests. A simple round salon stool without additional features is often the most budget-friendly choice, while a stool with a saddle seat, backrest or special design from a brand such as Takara Belmont will be more expensive. If you are equipping several workstations at once, it can pay to consider the overall solution rather than only the price of each individual stool.
Stella, the saddle stool from Solida Furniture, is one of our best-selling models, available both with and without roller wheels, as well as in several colours and upholstery options. Rolio, with its soft backrest and roller wheels with hair-resistant covers, is a popular choice among hairdressers who want back support without compromising on mobility. Yume from Takara Belmont is often chosen by cosmetologists and tattoo artists who prioritise a stable, ergonomic stool without wheels for longer treatments.
A saddle stool supports your back through the curved shape of the seat itself, without having a backrest. The shape encourages you to sit more upright, with your pelvis tilted slightly forward, which is the same sitting position that occupational therapists often recommend for prolonged seated work. It feels different from a traditional stool, and some people need time to adjust, but many experience less back fatigue during a long working day once their body has become accustomed to the shape of the seat. See our full selection of saddle stools if you are specifically looking for this type of ergonomic support.
If you need a stool specifically for cutting and styling, we have a wider selection of round and traditional salon stools collected on a dedicated page, where you can compare colours, frames and price ranges across brands. Salon stools are typically designed for the fast pace of a hair salon, where you turn and move around the client many times during a single treatment, unlike the more stationary types of treatment also covered on this page.
For longer, more stationary treatments such as tattooing, lash treatments or facials, a stable stool without wheels, such as Yume from Takara Belmont, is often the better choice. The fixed base gives you a secure starting point throughout the treatment, while the ergonomic tilt of the seat makes it easy to adjust your angle towards the client as you work.
Comfortel supplies several of the round salon stools and saddle stools in our range, with a simple, modern design. Solida Furniture is behind Stella and Rolio, focusing on ergonomic comfort at a good price. Takara Belmont, the Japanese brand, supplies Yume and the Zen series, known for high quality and precision. Vismara supplies Flex, the oscillating stool, as well as Easy and Brio. See the full brand overview if you want to compare more manufacturers.

A salon stool typically refers to stools used specifically for hair cutting and styling, while a treatment stool covers a wider range, including stools for cosmetologists, tattoo artists and clinics. In practice, the two often overlap, as several models are suitable for both purposes. If you specifically need a stool for cutting hair, we have a complete selection of salon stools, while this page covers the broader range across several industries.
A saddle stool such as Stella supports your back through the curved shape of the seat, without a backrest, which can help keep your back in a more natural position throughout a long working day. A stool with a backrest, such as Rolio, provides more immediate support without any adjustment period. If you have never tried a saddle stool before, we recommend testing it in our showroom, as the experience of a saddle seat varies greatly from person to person.
Yes, often. A stool without wheels, such as Yume, stays completely still during the treatment, providing a more stable base for precision work such as tattooing, where even a small, unintended movement of the stool can make a difference. A stool with wheels, such as Rolio or Stella, is more practical if you are a hairdresser who needs to move around the client many times during a single treatment. Choose based on how stationary your work typically is, not just on what looks most flexible on paper.
Several of our models, such as Rolio and Stella, have roller wheels with hair-resistant covers designed to prevent hair and dust from getting caught in the wheels, as often happens with standard wheels in a busy salon. This means less time spent cleaning the wheels and ensures that the stool continues to roll easily, even after many treatments.
You get at least a 2-year warranty on all furniture and equipment you buy from us, including treatment stools. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the frame, wheels, upholstery and moving parts, whether it is a simple round salon stool or a more advanced model with a saddle seat or oscillating function. Please note that our general 14-day right of return does not cover made-to-order items or products customised specifically for your order, which is particularly relevant if you choose a model where you select the colour and upholstery yourself.
