Description
This salon stool has a 33cm round cushion with 6cm of padding, adjusts hydraulically between 45cm and 57cm, swivels a full 360 degrees and rolls on five castors from a chrome iron base with a footrest - $50.99. It arrives flat packed and assembles with basic tools.
Working over a client for hours at the wrong height is what wrecks a hairdresser's back, and a fixed height stool guarantees it will be the wrong height for someone. A 12cm hydraulic range means the same stool suits a low basin and a high styling chair, and the footrest ring matters more than people expect - without somewhere to put your feet at height, you end up perched. The five castor base is the other detail worth having: five points spread the load better than four and are far less likely to tip when you lean out to one side.

Why Choose This Salon Stool
-
12cm of hydraulic adjustment - one stool covers basin height and styling chair height rather than compromising between them.
-
Footrest ring on the base - somewhere to rest your feet when the seat is raised, which is what makes a high stool usable all day.
-
Five castors, not four - a wider spread of contact points and better stability when you lean.
-
6cm of padding on a 33cm seat - a genuinely cushioned seat rather than a thin pad over board.
-
Wipe clean PU upholstery - colour, product and water come off a PU surface in a way they do not off fabric.
What Height Should a Salon Stool Be Set To?
The usual guide is that your feet should be supported, your thighs roughly parallel to the floor or angled very slightly down, and your shoulders relaxed rather than raised while you work. Set the stool relative to the client's chair, not to your own desk height - if you are reaching up, the stool is too low, and if you are hunching down, it is too high. With a 45 to 57cm range you have room to adjust through the day, and it is worth changing height between a colour and a cut rather than staying in one position.
Does It Work as a Desk or Craft Stool?
Yes. Nothing about it is specific to hairdressing beyond the name - the same hydraulic height range, swivel and castors suit a craft table, a workbench, a home office, a nail desk or a tattoo studio. The 45 to 57cm range sits comfortably under most standard desks, and the backless design suits work where you lean forward and move often. It is less suited to long stretches of static seated work, where a chair with back support is a better choice.
How Do You Assemble a Flat Packed Salon Stool?
The typical sequence is to press the castors into the base, fit the gas cylinder into the base column, then seat the cushion assembly on top and let your weight settle it into place. Work on a soft surface so the chrome does not get scratched, and check every castor is fully seated before sitting on it - a partly inserted castor is the most common cause of a wobble. Tools are required and are not supplied with the stool.
Buyers are hairdressers, barbers, beauty therapists and nail technicians fitting out a salon or a home studio, along with tattoo artists, dog groomers and people setting up a craft or hobby bench. It also sells to home users who want a rolling adjustable seat for a workbench or a sewing table.
