Beauty institute layout: Guide to aesthetic furniture

You are going to open your beauty institute soon and you are looking for the ideal aesthetic furniture for your professional space. Malys offers you a guide to aesthetic furniture to choose each piece of furniture carefully without forgetting anything. You will thus be able to offer your clients quality furniture, while reflecting your image and the design of your beauty salon. 

Massage table

The beauty table is one of the key elements of your beauty institute. It is very important to list the expected characteristics in order to choose the massage table that suits your needs. Furthermore, by doing this work, you will be able to determine whether you need a massage table or a beauty chair. 

Malys offers you many beauty tables depending on your expectations and needs: electric table, hydraulic table, folding table or fixed table.

If you travel to homes to provide beauty treatments and massages, you should opt for a folding beauty table. It will be lightweight thanks to its wooden or aluminium frame and you will be able to carry it to any location. 

With a fixed beauty table you can adjust the backrest by a gas lift system or by mechanism. However, the height is not adjustable. You can easily handle your fixed massage table. Moreover, its price is very affordable, to equip yourself at a low cost. 

With a hydraulic beauty table, you can adjust the height thanks to a hydraulic pump. The practitioner will be able to adjust the table according to their needs and their client in just a few moments. 

Finally, the electric massage table is the most complete for your business! In no time, adjust the height of the table with a remote control or a control pedal thanks to the motor integrated into the table. Some beauty tables can even be equipped with several motors to manage different parts of the table such as the backrest or the tilt of the table. 

Many options are available on professional massage tables: moving wheels, protective cover to protect your equipment, roll holder, ... 

Beauty chair

Just like the treatment table, before proceeding with the purchase of your beauty chair it is necessary to make a list of the expected characteristics of the chair. This way, you can choose the ideal beauty chair for your activity that meets your needs. Additionally, you need to consider the design of the esthetic care chair to harmonise your professional space with your furniture. 

The quality of the treatment chair also depends on the following two elements: comfort and ergonomics. The chair must be able to accommodate your clients even during long hours of work. But also, it must facilitate your work: dimensions, foldable armrests, extendable headrest, fixed base or with casters, ... To do this, analyse your work habits to understand and know the different elements that your beauty institute chair must have.

Beauty stool

The beauty stool is very important to provide comfort to practitioners during their working hours! We recommend paying special attention to the upholstery and its padding. You can find classic stools with a round seat but also more elaborate stools. Indeed, some stools offer backs and ergonomic seats to reduce Musculoskeletal Disorders that may be related to your activity. You can find stools with a saddle-shaped seat that reduce pressure on the spine and thus reduce fatigue and different end-of-day pains. The ergonomic backs fit the shape of the back so that the practitioner is correctly seated on the stool. 

The beauty stool is height adjustable thanks to a gas lift. Some stools offer three gas lifts to adjust the height but also to tilt the backrest and the seat. You will thus be perfectly supported throughout your session. If you regularly do foot beauty treatments, do not hesitate to take a pedicure stool which will be suited to this activity. Indeed, the seat height will be lower so that you don't have to bend over, which could hurt your back on a stool with a standard seat height. 

Guéridon or the beauty trolley

This small piece of furniture could be very useful for you during your various services! It allows you to store your equipment: epilation device, epilation strip, aesthetic device, salon linen or even creams. Moreover, the aesthetic guéridon is equipped with wheels to easily move it near your treatment table or between rooms. Place all the equipment you need on the shelves! Some aesthetic trolley models have drawers to store small accessories, for example. 

Manicure Furniture

If you want to carry out manicure activities, you need to equip yourself with a manicure table. Their work surface is adapted to this activity by being large enough to place the manicure vacuum cleaner, the hand rest cushion and the UV lamps. Generally, you will find a cabinet with several drawers to store the equipment near you. The nail tables can also have options such as wheels to move the table, built-in vacuum to save space and efficiency. Some models can even be equipped with a nail polish display stand to show your customers all the colours. 

Beauty devices 

Beauty salons can be equipped with many beauty devices such as vapozones, manicure devices, or hair removal devices. We present here some devices as well as their benefits to help you in your choice. 

Vapozone

The vapozone is very well known by beauticians for its benefits! Indeed, it helps to dilate the pores of the skin to extract comedones, clean embedded impurities, and prepare the skin to receive treatments such as masks. 

There are many models of vapozones to meet the needs of your institute. You can find so-called "traditional" vapozones with which you will get steam with or without ozone supply. Other models can allow the diffusion of aromatic essences. This function helps to relax, tone and purify the skin. 

They are always equipped with castors to facilitate its movement. 

Manicure devices

To equip yourself for your manicure activity, you will need the following equipment:

• UV lamp : allows you to dry nails after applying nail polish. Usually, they are equipped with a timer to properly manage the application time. 

• Table lamp : necessary to clearly see the details and apply your varnish perfectly. 

• The vacuum cleaner: vacuum the particles when filing nails with the manicure table vacuum cleaner. In a bag or with filter, it is essential for your activity.

• Sander: it will allow you to remove the nail polish and file the nails effectively in just a few moments.

Hair removal devices

Whether in standard wax heater or roll'on, the wax heater is the essential element for hot wax hair removal. Different sizes of wax heaters are available to suit your institute's needs. 

Towel warmers & sterilizers

To ensure the hygiene of your beauty salon, it is important to get a sterilizer to disinfect small aesthetic tools. UV Sterilizers or thermo-sterilizers allow you to ensure the hygiene of the equipment.

The towel warmer heats and sanitises several towels or mitts at the same time. You can find towel warmers ranging from 7.5 litres up to 35 litres for your salon linen.
