Workstations
A workstation is a practical piece of furniture designed mainly for hair salons and barbershops. Typically, workstations are complete units featuring a mirror, an integrated shelf, and often storage cabinets. They allow stylists to keep their workspace organized and tools easily accessible while ensuring a professional experience for clients. At Just Add People, we offer a wide range of workstations that cater to every salon's needs and style.
What is a Workstation?
A workstation is a hairstylist’s dedicated workspace where clients are seated in front of a mirrored unit with shelves and sometimes storage cabinets. These stations are not only practical but also a central element of the salon’s interior design.
Two Primary Types of Workstations
Wall-Mounted Workstations
These units are attached to a wall, making them ideal for smaller salons where space optimization is essential. They often feature a sleek design but still provide practical features like shelves and drawers.
Freestanding Workstations
Freestanding workstations are placed in the center of the room and offer workspace on both sides, making them perfect for larger salons. These stations create efficient work areas and allow multiple clients to be served simultaneously.
Key Features of Workstations
Mirror Quality
A high-quality mirror is essential for any salon. Professional mirrors should provide accurate color representation and be built to withstand daily use without losing their clarity or finish over time.
Integrated Storage
Workstations often include shelves, drawers, or cabinets that make it easy for stylists to store tools, products, and other equipment:
Shelves
Perfect for quickly accessing frequently used items like sprays and styling tools.
Drawers and Cabinets
Ideal for storing smaller equipment or consumables that should be kept out of sight to maintain a tidy salon.
Materials
The materials used in a workstation should be robust and easy to clean. Common choices include:
Laminate
For a stylish and durable look.
Stainless Steel
Perfect for modern and minimalist salons.
Powder-Coated Steel
For a bold, masculine aesthetic.
Ergonomics and Comfort
Workstations should be designed to make the stylist’s job easier, offering optimal height and easy access to tools. Clients should also feel comfortable sitting in front of the workstation without feeling cramped or awkwardly positioned.
How to Choose the Right Workstation
Space Requirements
Consider the size of your salon and how many workstations you need. Wall-mounted workstations save space, while freestanding models are great for utilizing larger floor areas effectively.
Functionality
Think about how much storage space you need and whether you prefer open shelves, drawers, or cabinets with doors.
Design
The workstation is a major visual element in your salon. Choose a model that complements your salon’s overall design, whether it’s modern, traditional, or minimalist.
Maintenance
Ensure the workstation is easy to clean and maintain, especially in busy salons where products and tools are frequently used.
Benefits of Investing in Quality Workstations

A well-designed workstation makes it easier to work efficiently and keep track of tools.

The mirror and unit design create a comfortable experience, helping clients feel at ease during their treatment.

High-quality materials ensure your workstation can withstand daily use for many years.
