Why investing in a shampoo unit can transform the customer experience in your salon?
In a hair salon, the shampoo unit isn't just a simple washing station: it's a key piece that directly influences your clients' comfort and satisfaction. By offering ergonomic seating, a perfectly adjusted basin, and, on some models, relaxing options like massage or a leg rest, you transform a technical gesture into a sensory experience.
A moment of relaxation that builds loyalty
A client who feels relaxed and comfortable is more likely to return and recommend your salon. An ergonomic shampoo unit contributes to this feeling of well-being while enhancing your establishment's upscale image.
Hairdresser comfort and quality of service
In addition to satisfying your customers, a suitable sink allows you to work in good conditions: adjustable height, optimized access and preserved posture, thus reducing fatigue and the risk of pain related to the profession.

Key steps to installing a professional shampoo unit
Installing a shampoo unit is a 4-step process: preparing the inlets, fixing the structure, connecting the water/drain, then pressure and watertightness tests. For a lasting and compliant result, the intervention of a professional plumber is recommended.
1) Prepare the location
- Power supply : hot and cold water inlet (12–16 mm depending on installation), accessible shut-off valve.
- Drainage : PVC Ø32–40 mm with siphon and water seal, slope ~1 cm/m.
- Electricity (if massage/leg rest options): dedicated wall socket with earth, suitable differential circuit breaker.
- Ergonomics : Leave ~70–80 cm behind the bowl for the operator, 20–30 cm at the sides. Allow for seat/work surface height.
2) Fix the structure
- Position the base of the wash basin according to the layout plan.
- Check the plumb line and stability ; drill and dowel (concrete/wood floor as appropriate).
- Tighten the screws to the recommended torques (do not force the ceramic).
3) Connect water and drainage
- Thermostatic mixer : guarantees a stable temperature (comfort & safety). Bleed before connection.
- Shower hose : reinforced anti-twist model, new fiber/Teflon seal.
- Ceramic bowl : install the seal, connect the drain/siphon , check the bearings.
- Evacuation : regular slope, PVC/collar sealing depending on configuration.
- Pressure reducer (if >3 bars) to protect taps and hoses.
4) Final adjustments & tests
- Open the valves, bleed the air then check all the points (connections, drain, siphon).
- Adjust the tilt of the bowl and the headrest for the neck.
- Test the temperature at 38–40°C and the flow stability.
Best practices (pro)
- Use new fittings and suitable seals; do not reuse crushed seals.
- Protect ceramic bearings; moderate tightening to avoid cracks.
- Provide an accessible shut-off valve for maintenance.
- In limescale areas: install an anti-scale agent upstream to protect the shower head and mixer tap.
