Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a shampoo backwash unit?
A shampoo backwash unit typically combines a shampoo chair and shampoo bowl in one station. Many of Minerva Beauty’s units also feature reclining backs, footrests, or ottomans for added comfort. This all-in-one design makes your shampoo area more efficient and provides a better overall experience for clients.
However, even though shampoo systems are commonly referred to as backwashes, many can be used as a backwash or a sidewash shampoo station. Be sure to think about your space and how you'll position the bowl to work best for you!
How do I choose the right shampoo unit for my salon?
When selecting a shampoo system, think about the space you have, your preferred style and colors, and what features best fit your salon shampoo stations. For example, do you need a compact shampoo chair for a smaller room or a fully reclining unit for maximum comfort? Our buying guide can help you decide.
Can I buy just a shampoo bowl or shampoo chair separately?
Yes. In addition to shampoo stations, Minerva Beauty offers standalone shampoo bowls, individual shampoo chairs, and replacement parts. This makes it easy to create the setup that works best for your salon or barbershop.
Are Minerva Beauty shampoo stations designed for durability?
Absolutely. Our salon shampoo stations are designed with both stylists and clients in mind. They’re built for long-term use with high-quality materials, easy-to-clean finishes, and functional features that help enhance your shampoo area while maintaining a professional look.
Do the shampoo chairs come in different colors and styles?
Yes. You’ll find a range of colors like black, camel, and more to match your salon design. Our collection includes modern, classic, and versatile styles, so you can select the perfect shampoo backwash unit for your brand’s aesthetic.
What accessories should I order with my shampoo stations?
To keep your shampoo stations clean and comfortable, we recommend adding accessories like shampoo floor mats and chair covers. These extras not only protect your equipment but also improve the experience for both clients and stylists.
How do I maintain my Salon Station Units?
Proper maintenance of your salon station units, including shampoo chairs, sinks, and systems, is essential to extending their lifespan and keeping your space looking professional. Regular care not only protects your investment but also ensures a clean, comfortable experience for every client.
1. Keep surfaces clean and dry
Avoid overspray and standing water on vinyl or upholstery. When water gets on your shampoo chair or surrounding areas, dry it promptly with a salon towel to prevent staining and protect the vinyl finish.
2. Use the right cleaning products
Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your salon furniture or shampoo sinks. Instead, choose gentle, salon-safe products designed for professional equipment:
- For chairs and vinyl surfaces, use Leather & Vinyl Salon Chair Cleaner to remove product buildup and condition the material.
- For shampoo bowls, use Ship-Shape Professional Spray Cleaner or a similar non-abrasive option to protect the bowl’s finish.
3. Maintain plumbing and sprayers
Flush shampoo sink plumbing daily with hot water and do a weekly refresh using a baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water mixture to remove residue. Clean your hair traps monthly (or more often in high-traffic salons) to prevent clogs.
Inspect sprayers regularly for mineral buildup: Soak them in a warm vinegar and water solution for 10–20 minutes to keep water flow consistent.
4. Protect and tighten
Use chair covers to shield your shampoo chairs from hair color splatter and overspray. Check bolts and hardware periodically, tightening as needed to prevent looseness from daily use. For extra hold, apply a small amount of threadlocker adhesive (like Loctite), keeping in mind that removal later will be difficult.
5. Build a routine
Wipe down surfaces daily, clean plumbing weekly, and inspect your equipment monthly. A consistent maintenance routine helps keep your salon station units performing like new for years to come.
