Both universal solutions and specialized furniture models can be used to equip a makeup artist's office. Makeup artists are encouraged to work with furniture that is most comfortable to use based on their workplace, and will also help streamline the workflow.
The most common type of chair for a makeup artist is a high-backed chair that has armrests. The base and seating area of this bar stool is smaller than that of standard barber chairs. Due to the high fit, the model's face is at the level of the eyes of the makeup artist, so the master works with an even back and less fatigue.
Are in great demand folding models, since many makeup masters work not only in the office, but also on the road.
For such chairs, structural strength is especially important. Usually, their seat is not soft so that the product is as light as possible, so make-up artists buy pillows that are suitable in size for them.
The base of such a folding chair is made of aluminum alloy, and the back and seat are traditionally made of durable fabric, such as nylon. There are also wooden models made from birch, alder and other durable woods. The main advantages of such chairs are the naturalness of the material and the pleasant texture.
The weight of these chairs is less than 5 kg, so they are easily transported to the place of work, and the assembly of such furniture takes only a few minutes.
Models of chairs are also suitable for masters who work exclusively in beauty salons (that is, without visiting offices and home), used by hairdressers pedicure masters and other specialists. Such versatile furniture is presented in many variations, for example:
- square hydraulic chair with chrome round base, equipped with footrest and armrests;
- round chair with pneumatic height adjustment with a five-beam base;
- pneumatic square chair with headrest and metal armrests.
Manufacturers
Chairs for makeup artists are produced by many furniture companies in Russia and abroad. Such products are offered by brands Ru Comfort, Euromed, Image Inventor, Makeup Cases, Master-Tisch, Madison, Beauty Salon.
Their range usually includes other equipment, such as makeup tables, illuminated mirrors, ring lamps, and so on.
Selection recommendations
When choosing a folding chair to be used on the road in the first place pay attention to its weight, after all, such an item will have to be transported independently. If the model is heavy enough, then a fragile woman (and in most cases a makeup artist is just that) will not be easy to take her to the specified address.
The second important nuance when choosing a makeup artist chair is its strength.
The designs of such chairs are usually thought out to the smallest detail and made durable, because they must withstand constant loads. Pay attention to the layout system and the quality of the fittings. For self-testing, lay out the chair in the store and then assemble it. Repeat these steps a few more times and make sure that the elements of the chair do not rub against each other, do not loosen or creak.
Besides, take a closer look at the fabricwhich is used to make the makeup chair. This is usually a durable technical fabric, since cotton and other simple materials wear out faster, fade, and deform.
The fabric of the chair must certainly be washable, and if it is colored, it must be uniformly colored.
When thinking about the future, it is also worth asking if there are any spare parts sold separately, if the company can offer to replace damaged or worn parts over time. A good chair should last at least 5-7 years, and the warranty for such a product is usually 1-3 years, therefore, the availability of spare parts is a rather urgent question for any makeup artist.
