Makeup Chairs

Find the Right Working Height

Think about where the client's face will sit relative to your hands, mirror and lighting. A taller makeup chair creates a different working position from a low salon seat, so check the seat height on the exact product rather than judging it from the photograph.

Allow room to reach the client comfortably from the front and sides. Armrests, back support and the footrest also affect how the client sits during a longer appointment.

Folding Chairs for Mobile Work

The ActiveShop and Gabbiano models in this collection use folding aluminium frames. Compare their dimensions, weight and folding mechanism with the way you travel and store your kit.

For mobile appointments, consider the complete load you will carry: chair, lighting, mirror and products. Check that the folded chair fits your vehicle and storage space, and follow the product instructions when setting it up.

Choose a Frame and Seating Combination

Look at the frame finish together with the seat and backrest material. Product photographs show the exact combination, while each product page provides the specifications and any model-specific cleaning or assembly guidance.

A matching finish can help a studio feel coordinated, but it should not replace checking the chair's stated dimensions and suitability for your appointments.

Plan the Rest of Your Makeup Station

A chair provides client seating; a portable makeup case or illuminated workstation provides storage, a mirror or lighting. These are different parts of the setup. Choose the chair around the workstation you already use, leaving clear access to tools and electrical leads.
