Belgrano Full Black Shampoo unit

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

1. Position the base of the wash basin according to the layout plan.
2. Check the plumb line and stability ; drill and dowel (concrete/wood floor as appropriate).
3. 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.

Most of our professional shampoo chairs are delivered in pre-assembled modules to facilitate transport and avoid damage during delivery. You will usually receive the ceramic bowl separately from the chair or column, as well as the faucets and accessories.

Typical delivery contents

• Main structure (chair or column) already assembled.
• Ceramic bowl protected in individual packaging.
• Faucet kit: mixer tap, shower head, flexible hoses, drain and siphon.
• Detailed assembly instructions with diagrams.

Final assembly upon receipt

• Fix the bowl to the structure.
• Connect the hot/cold water supply and drain.
• Check the stability and tilt of the bowl.

A classic shampoo unit is a complete unit incorporating a fixed chair and a ceramic bowl, designed to provide optimal comfort for the client and ergonomics adapted to the hairdresser. A hairdressing washing column , on the other hand, consists only of a bowl mounted on a stand or column, without an integrated chair, and is used with a chair or a mobile chair.

Classic Shampoo unit

• Fixed armchair integrated into the structure.
• Adjustable bowl tilt for customer comfort.
• Ideal for a permanent space and a high-end experience.

Hairdressing washing column

• Compatible with existing mobile chairs or chairs.
• Compact solution, perfect for small spaces or temporary workstations.

The choice depends on your space, your budget, and the type of service you want to offer. For a high-end salon or relaxation area, the classic sink is recommended. For a flexible and mobile solution, the washing column is ideal.

Ceramic Toilet Bowl Maintenance

• Clean after each use with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning product.

In most cases, our Goldbeaute basins can be combined with third-party elements, provided that certain dimensions and connection standards are respected.

Advice for a harmonious layout

Make sure to maintain clear circulation areas to ensure comfortable working and avoid feeling crowded. Align your shampoo basins with your styling chairs and workstation for a cohesive look.

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.

To ensure pure water and maintain scalp health, our shampoo basins can be equipped with anti-impurity filters and anti-limescale devices. These systems reduce the impact of harsh minerals on hair, improve shine, and provide lasting protection for the hair fiber.
