Barber chair

A barber chair is a heavy reclining chair on a hydraulic base, built for haircuts and shaves. It is longer than a salon styling chair, with a headrest and footrest, and Buy-Rite Beauty says most recline to about 45 to 60 degrees.

Takara Belmont's Elegance BB-225 is 25 inches wide, 37 deep and weighs 180 lb. Its Legacy model is about 27 inches wide and 48 deep. Buy-Rite says a solid chair typically costs around $1,000, within a range of $599 to $5,500, and most reach a top seat height of 26 to 29 inches.

Because they recline, barber chairs need extra depth in front of the station. The barbershop floor plan maker uses 28 by 40 inches by default. See barber station, hydraulic chair and the cost to open a barber shop.
