A styling chair, also known as a customer chair or pump chair, is the chair your customers sit in throughout their treatment. At Just Add People, we have more than 140 styling chairs in our range, all with a pump function so you can adjust the height for each individual customer. We have helped hairdressers furnish their salons for more than 30 years, and our selection of styling chairs is among the largest in Europe.
Here are the most important things to consider when choosing a styling chair for your salon.
All our styling chairs have a pump function, so you can adjust the seat height with a pedal without having to lift or twist yourself to help the customer up or down. Check how wide the adjustment range is, especially if you serve both tall and short customers or often cut children's hair in the same chair as adults. A chair that cannot be pumped low enough forces you to work in an unnaturally bent position with your shortest customers.
The longer your treatments typically last, the more important the quality of the upholstery becomes. A customer who sits for 20 minutes for a haircut does not feel the same as a customer who sits for an hour for colouring and styling. Look for chairs with good support in the back and seat, especially if your salon mainly offers longer treatments such as colour or balayage, where comfort becomes particularly noticeable towards the end.
Most of our styling chairs are available with either a cross base or a round base. A cross base with wheels makes it easy to turn the chair and give the customer the best view in the mirror, while a fixed round base provides a more stable, calm look without movement. A cross base is the most common choice in modern salons, but a round base is often used in salons that want a more classic, stationary look at each station.
The upholstery on our styling chairs is typically vegan leather, which is durable and easy to keep clean between customers, even with daily disinfection. Dark colours such as black are most forgiving when it comes to hair-colour stains, while lighter shades such as beige or sage green create a brighter, more open look but require a little more maintenance. Some models have backrests in ash wood, creating a warmer, more natural look than a chair made entirely of leather and metal.
Some styling chairs are available with a built-in leg rest, which is practical during longer treatments when the customer would otherwise have to keep their legs in a fixed position. If you often have older customers or customers with reduced mobility, a model with a lower minimum height and wider seat can make it easier for them to sit down and stand up. If you prefer a model with a footrest as a priority, you can see our full selection of styling chairs with footrests in one place. These details are also listed on each product page, so you can compare models before choosing.
If you need to equip several stations at once, our range spans simple, budget-friendly models to more exclusive chairs featuring handcraftsmanship and finer materials. A model such as Eco covers the basic need for a sturdy styling chair without extra features, while chairs such as Brother from Kiela or Thea from Takara Belmont are at the premium end. If you are equipping an entire salon, you may benefit from contacting us for a combined sale rather than ordering the chairs individually.
Chloe from Comfortel is one of our best-selling styling chairs, with a clean design and several colour and base options. Eco, also from Comfortel, is a popular budget-friendly choice for salons that need to equip several stations at once. If you have a larger budget, Brother from Kiela and Thea from Takara Belmont are among our most exclusive models, both featuring heavier materials and finer finishes.
We carry styling chairs from Comfortel, which covers most budgets with a broad and versatile range, as well as Kiela and Takara Belmont, both of which are at the more exclusive end with heavier materials and more craftsmanship in the details. We also carry models from Mirplay and Greiner. If you are unsure which brand is best suited to your salon, you can view the full brand overview and compare them across the range.
If you have customers with special needs, you can supplement the styling chair with footrests or booster seats, so both older customers and children sit correctly and comfortably throughout the treatment. If you are also planning the rest of the station, you can view our salon stools for you as a hairdresser, or washing units for hair washing. This gives you a complete overview before deciding how to assemble the entire station.
The average age in the hairdressing industry is just 28. That is not the age of the hairdressers; it is the age at which many leave the profession. We want to help change that. A styling chair with a good pump function is not only about customer comfort; it also protects your own back, shoulders and wrists. If the chair cannot be pumped to exactly the height at which you work best, you end up bending and stretching unnecessarily, customer after customer, day after day. This type of strain is one of the reasons hairdressers leave the profession too early. Our styling chairs are selected with a focus on adjustability, so you can work without injury throughout an entire career, not just the first few years.
At Just Add People, it is not about saving a little here and there; it is about finding the right chairs at a price you can stand behind. We negotiate directly with manufacturers and buy in large quantities, allowing us to offer you the best price without compromising on quality. If you are equipping an entire salon at once, you may benefit from contacting us for a combined sale rather than ordering the chairs individually.
Please note that made-to-order items and products customised specifically for your order are exempt from the general right of return. See the full terms in our terms and conditions.

If you are unsure which chair is best for you, Klaus Østergaard, who has more than 30 years of experience in salon design, can help you make the right choice. You can also visit our showroom at Mariendalsvej 32 in Viborg, where you can try the chairs in person before deciding.
Pump chair is another term for a styling chair or customer chair. The name comes from the pump beneath the seat, which makes it possible to adjust the seat height easily and precisely with a pedal, without having to lift or twist yourself to help the customer up or down. This is the most common way to adjust a styling chair in modern salons, instead of manual screw mechanisms, which are hardly used anymore. If you come across the term "pump chair" in a product description or from another retailer, you can safely assume that it means exactly the same as a styling chair.
Most styling chairs can be pumped down to a seat height of 38-44 cm, measured from the floor to the seat surface, which comfortably accommodates most adult customers. We always state the seat height directly on the product page, so you can compare it with your current chairs and assess whether a new model genuinely gives you better adjustment options before buying. If you often serve both children and adults in the same chair, it is particularly important to check the lower adjustment range, as a chair that cannot be pumped low enough forces you to work in an unnaturally bent position with every child customer.
Yes, several of our styling chairs are available with a built-in leg rest, which is practical during longer treatments when the customer would otherwise have to keep their legs in a fixed position throughout the treatment. The individual product page states whether a model has a leg rest as standard or as an option. If you have many customers booked in for long colour treatments, it can be a good investment, as it noticeably increases customer comfort during the final minutes of a long session, when sitting still can otherwise become uncomfortable. If you also often have older customers, a model with a lower minimum height can make it easier for them to sit down and stand up.
Yes, we regularly have demo models and used furnishings from our own showroom, sold at a reduced price. The selection changes continuously as we update the display, so it is a good idea to keep an eye on the used furnishings page if you would like to save on your budget without compromising on quality. The models have typically only been displayed in the showroom, not used daily by another hairdresser, so you get a fully functional chair at a lower price than a brand-new one.
The price depends on whether you choose a simple, budget-friendly model or a more exclusive styling chair with finer materials and more adjustment options. A model such as Eco covers the basic need without extra features, while chairs such as Brother from Kiela or Thea from Takara Belmont are at the premium end, with heavier quality and more craftsmanship in the details. If you need to equip several stations at once, we recommend contacting us for a combined sale, as this often gives you a better overall price than ordering the chairs individually.
Several of our models are available in multiple colour options, and some can be ordered with adaptations for your salon. If you choose a customised colour or special dimensions, the chair is produced specifically for your order, which means it is exempt from our general 14-day right of return. If you are unsure what can actually be customised on a particular model, you are always welcome to contact us before ordering, so you know exactly what you will receive.
All our styling chairs come with a minimum 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in the frame, upholstery, pump and other moving parts. We also offer a 14-day right of return and fast shipping on all orders. Please note that made-to-order items and products customised specifically for your order are exempt from the general right of return, which is worth bearing in mind if you choose a model with a customised colour or dimensions. If something does break within the warranty period, simply contact us and we will find the best solution together.
