When launching a beauty salon, your choice of equipment and furniture plays a pivotal role in service quality, client comfort, and operational efficiency. With the right setup, your therapists can perform treatments with ease, and clients will feel pampered and safe. In this article, we’ll walk through the must-have items — with special focus on facial beds, pedicure chairs, massage tables, beauty trolleys, and spa stools — and share tips for selecting them.
The facial bed (also called a treatment bed or esthetician bed) is arguably the heart of your treatment room. It’s where facials, skin care routines, microdermabrasion, LED therapy, and other facial services take place. A high-quality facial bed enhances client comfort, supports ergonomic posture for your therapist, and often integrates adjustable features.
Adjustability: Look for beds with multiple adjustable motors or hydraulic control for height, backrest, leg rest, and tilt.
Durability & Frame: A strong steel frame (preferably powder-coated) helps support heavier clients and ensures long life.
Comfort & Padding: Dense, high-resilience foam ensures comfort without sagging over time.
Upholstery & Material: Use wipeable, antimicrobial, PU leather or PVC material that withstands cleaning and disinfectants.
Weight Capacity: Ensure the bed can support at least 250 kg (or as per your local safety margin).
Extras: Headrests, armrest attachments, face cutouts, side-rails, storage shelves.
On the YINGXIN “Beauty Spa Equipment” page, you can find several models of facial beds (e.g. 3-section electric beauty couches, adjustable beauty beds) that meet modern salon demands.
Each nail or foot care station typically revolves around a pedicure chair. It combines comfort for the client with utility (foot bath, plumbing, jets, massage) and practical features for the nail technician.
Built-in Foot Bath / Basin: Ensure it has a removable basin or easy plumbing for drainage and sterilization.
Massage & Jet Functions: Some chairs have vibration, rollers, or water jets to add luxury.
Height & Recline Adjustments: Ability to tilt back, adjust leg rest, or lift client seat helps both client comfort and technician ergonomics.
Armrests, Storage, Side Trays: Useful for placing tools, polishes, or towels.
Materials & Maintenance: Waterproof, corrosion-resistant materials and easily cleanable surfaces are critical.
Electrical Safety: Use quality waterproof wiring, GFCI protection, and safe components.
A well-designed pedicure chair sends a strong message of professionalism to clients, and makes your technicians’ work smoother.
Massage tables support body treatments, full-body massage, body wraps, waxing, and other spa services. They differ from facial beds by offering a wider and longer surface, plus accessories for face cradles, bolsters, etc.
Width & Length: A standard width of 72–80 cm and length of around 185–200 cm offers comfort for most clients.
Adjustability / Folding Options: Foldable or portable tables are ideal if you offer mobile services; fixed electric tables offer stability for spa centers.
Frame & Legs: Aluminum, hardwood, or steel frames — ensure cross bracing or stability support.
Padding & Upholstery: Medium-to-dense foam and durable, easy-to-clean material.
Accessories: Face cradle cushion, side armrest, bolsters or knee supports.
Load Capacity: Should be rated for at least 200–250 kg to ensure safety.
YINGXIN offers a number of massage and treatment tables (including foldable ones) in its spa equipment lineup.
Beauty trolleys or carts allow therapists to have essential tools, creams, masks, devices, and disposables within easy reach without leaving the client’s side. They help maintain flow, hygiene, and professionalism.
Multiple Shelves or Drawers: At least 2–4 tiers or drawers for supplies, tools, and waste bin.
Mobility / Casters: Lockable castors ensure mobility but stability in use.
Height & Side Attachment Options: Adjustable height or arms helps position tools close.
Material & Hygiene: Stainless steel, ABS plastic, or laminated MDF panels are common — surfaces should be water-safe and easy to disinfect.
Compact Footprint: Should be narrow enough to maneuver between beds or into tight spaces.
In YINGXIN’s catalog, you’ll find a selection of beauty trolleys suitable for spa and skincare environments.
A spa stool or technician stool is often overlooked, yet it’s one of the best investments to protect your staff’s posture. At facial, massage, wax, or manicure stations, the right stool helps reduce fatigue and back strain.
Seat Cushioning: Thick foam that’s neither too soft nor too firm.
Height Adjustment Mechanism: Gas lift or pneumatic height adjustment to suit different treatment heights.
Mobility: 5-wheel base with smooth, locking casters.
Backrest or Without: Some prefer armless stools; others may want a low backrest for extra support.
Swivel Feature: 360° swivel allows ease of movement.
YINGXIN also lists spa stools as part of its Beauty Spa Equipment.
While the above five are core pieces, a salon will also require:
Lighting: LED magnifying lamps, ring lights, overhead lighting with adjustable intensity.
Steamers / Vaporizers: Facial steamers, ozone machines, hot towel cabinets.
Sterilization Tools: Autoclaves, UV cabinets, tool sterilizers.
Storage Cabinets & Shelves: For product stock, towels, consumables.
Trolleys for Laundry: For soiled linen collection.
Reception Counter & Waiting Chairs: For client comfort and front desk operations.
Mirrors, Sinks, Wash Basins: For hair or beauty services if offered.
Electrical Outlets & Wiring: Adequate power supply, separate circuits for heavier devices.
HVAC / Ventilation: Especially important for chemical fumes or heat treatments.
Plumbing: For pedicure basins or facial sinks.
These supporting items complete the infrastructure needed for smooth operations.
Plan by Service Zones Lay out zones (facial, body, nail) and allocate furniture accordingly. You may start small and scale gradually.
Quality over Cheap Cuts A well-built bed or chair yields lower maintenance cost and fewer replacements over time.
Bundle Orders Suppliers often provide discounts for bulk purchase of beds + chairs + trolleys.
Warranty & After-sales Choose brands that provide spare parts and service.
