Choosing a couch for shugaring

Couches for shugaring are necessary for the convenience of the client and for high-quality hair removal by the master. In this article, we will tell you how to choose the perfect product so that everyone is satisfied.

At home, you can carry out sugar epilation without a couch, but it is necessary to receive visitors. The product not only creates comfortable conditions for the master and the client, but also guarantees compliance with hygienic standards, as it is easily processed after each procedure.

The couch is a small sofa with high legs, without a back. The surface can be solid or consist of moving parts in the amount of two to five elements. This separation helps to find a comfortable position for the master and the client, and also allows you to compactly fold the product for storage or transport while working on the road. The presence of a headrest adds comfort to the visitor. Sometimes the structure is completed with glued pillows of various shapes. Some models are endowed with movable elements for the legs. The visitor, half-sitting on the couch, has the opportunity to lower one leg while the master works with the other.

The master should also have easy access to the client. Minimal stress on the muscles of the back and arms is required. To provide it, the couch is adjusted in advance in height, convenient for the master.

Couches of different types have approximately the same dimensions:

• width - 70 cm;
• height - 60-90 cm (adjustable);
• length about two meters.

The product contains filling and upholstery made of waterproof material that is easy to clean and hygienic.

For carrying out shugaring, some types of massage, cosmetology, examination, physiotherapy couches may be suitable. It is important that they contain at least three sections, two of which would refer to moving elements. Such a product will allow the client to sit comfortably and provide good access for the shugaring master to the epilation sites. Let's consider each type separately.

Couches for face and body cosmetic procedures. The sections are endowed with mobility, have a different angle of inclination. The lifting mechanism allows you to adjust the height of the product with a maximum position of up to 90 cm from the floor. The couches make it possible to take any comfortable position, therefore they are used for many types of cosmetic practices, including shugaring.

Couches of this type are less convenient for sugar epilation, since most of them consist of two parts: one stationary, the second movable. In addition, not every model is height adjustable. But such products are durable, due to the lack of mechanisms, there is nothing to break in them. The upholstery is made of leatherette and is easy to clean. The frame in most cases is made of wood, since it is used for ECG and other electromagnetic procedures.

Examination couches are similar to physiotherapy ones, they also consist of two sections, but the frame is predominantly metal. Many of them lack a lifting mechanism that changes the level of height. The section designed for the upper body is movable, it can change the angle of inclination up to 45 degrees.

Massage tables are more diverse, endowed with transforming mechanisms that can not only adjust the height, but also change the position of the body with the help of several movable sections. They have cutouts for the face and are complemented by pillows and bolsters. Such products contain a reinforced frame and are designed for loads up to 250 kg. The task of the table is to place the client in a more relaxed and comfortable position. They are more expensive, but more suitable for the shugaring procedure.

These include different types of products in terms of shape and purpose. The simplest ones have one or two sections and are not always height-adjustable. They are sturdy and reliable structures, but they are not designed to be transported.

Convertible couches have a good modern design and different functions. They are able to change the position of the client's body, they have extended armrests, adjustable headrest and leg zone. These couch chairs can be provided with storage areas for accessories. Models with electric adjustment are complemented by a control panel and can correct the position of the body directly during the session.

Structures of this type are intended for use at home or on the road. The more sections such a product has, the more compact it can fold. Folding couches are convenient for storage, they can be sent to the closet or closet. They weigh from 10 to 15 kg and fit easily into the trunk of a car. When unfolded, the models are capable of withstanding a load of up to 200 kg. With frequent use, the folding mechanism may wear out and need to be repaired.

The couch is equipped with wheels with a locking system. She can be transported to another office, rolled closer to the window to take advantage of daylight. Products often contain a folding mechanism.

The couch plays an important role in the process of the shugaring procedure. The quality of the procedure itself depends on clear access to the client's treated skin. The visitor should also be comfortable - if he is in comfortable conditions during the session, the next time he will return to the master again. Therefore, you should not choose a couch spontaneously, you need to focus on the material from which it is made, the practical possibilities of the design, the well-coordinated work of all its elements.

Please note the following model specifications.

The upholstery of the sugaring couch should be made of waterproof material, so it is easier to wash and disinfect. Usually leather or leatherette is used. You should try it by touch to make sure the skin is tactile and soft. If the product emits a strong odor, the material or its colorant may be toxic. It would be nice to pay attention to the seams of the upholstery: they should be double, then they will not fail for a long time.

Most often, foam rubber is used for stuffing couches. In cheap products, the height of the filler is 2-3 centimeters. With such a coating, the surface hardness is felt by the whole body. To make the client comfortable, the height of the foam rubber should be chosen from 4 cm and above. It is necessary to pay attention to the elasticity indicator, the best option in this regard will be a product of the ST 2540 brand: it is quite soft and elastic, but at the same time, when pressed, it quickly restores its shape.

For couches, polyurethane foam can also be used as a filler. Due to its increased elasticity, it conforms to the shape of the body and provides maximum comfort to the visitor. This product surpasses the capabilities of foam rubber.

The frame is made of wood or thin metal pipes. It is better to choose the second option, it can withstand up to 200 kg of load. In addition, from constant wet cleaning and disinfection, the tree eventually deteriorates.

The base for the countertop is plywood, the thickness of which is at least 6 cm. A more elastic and durable surface is made of larch or birch, the most undesirable option is pine, although it can make the model cheaper.

Inexpensive models contain a stationary headrest fixed in one position; it is impossible to adjust it for a specific client.

More expensive products, divided into sections, and transformers are equipped with mobile headrests. The lifting mechanism for fixing the head element can be triggered in different ways: smoothly, dotted, mechanically or automatically. Electronic versions are equipped with a remote control. Mobile head restraints are convenient for shugaring.

During the sugar epilation procedure, the couch is covered with a disposable napkin. Despite this, the table is processed after each visit for the safety of clients and the master. Even healthy skin contact with someone else's sweat can cause an inflammatory reaction in a more susceptible person.

Disinfect the workplace with one of the following compounds:

• Blanidas 300 - chlorine solution;
• "AHD 2000 express" - works as a skin antiseptic, disinfects and sterilizes the surface;
• Lizoformin 3000 is an aldehyde-containing solution.

Each disinfectant has accompanying instructions, the recommendations of which must be followed.

When choosing a couch for shugaring, you should not pay attention to the cheapest options. They wear out faster, are inconvenient to use, are not solid and are unlikely to attract customers.
