Salon station

A salon station, also called a styling station, is a stylist's workspace: a mirror over a counter with drawers or a cabinet for tools and products, set in front of the styling chair. Stations come wall-mounted, freestanding or double-sided, where two stylists work back to back.

Widths vary a lot. Minerva Beauty says stations with a mirror usually run 30 to 40 inches wide, and Buy-Rite Beauty recommends a counter about 36 inches off the floor. Booksy prices stations from about $429 each in its salon opening budget.

Spacing is covered in how much space between salon stations. The salon floor plan maker has a 36 by 20 inch station, a 48 inch station with storage and a double-sided island. Barbers usually want a barber station, and the chair in front is a salon chair.
