Shampoo bowl

A shampoo bowl is the sink a stylist washes a client's hair in, shaped with a neck rest so the client can lean back. It mounts on the wall, on a cabinet, on a pedestal or as part of a backwash unit, and it is paired with a reclining shampoo chair.

Bowls come in ABS plastic, fiberglass, porcelain and marble. Buy-Rite Beauty notes many ship with a spray hose and a vacuum breaker for backflow prevention, which many states require. Booksy prices bowls at $300 to $600, plus $500 to $1,500 each to plumb. Pivoting bowls tilt for clients of different heights and for wheelchair users.

Work out the count with how many shampoo bowls per stylist, fit a hair trap on the drain, and place bowls in the salon floor plan maker.
