Tips for choosing the perfect beauty couch for your salon

In a generation where we are so aware of our physical and mental wellbeing beauty treatments, aesthetics and even some medical procedures is something that is being offered in spas, salons and beauty parlours everywhere. Beauticians, aestheticians and medical professionals are offering a wide array of treatments from medical electrolysis to waxing, facials to fillers and so much more! It is imperative that the equipment used is right for the procedures and treatments being performed and that goes for the bed/couch that is used too.

We know that finding the perfect beauty couch for the treatments you offer can be a minefield. There are so many things to consider when choosing the bed and as a bed is an investment in your business you want to get it right first time. Things to consider include the price point and whether it fits with your budget, the suitability of the bed for treatments you do and whether the beds fits in with your theme and will enhance your set up. To make things easy I've done the legwork for you and broken down the features of some of our most popular beauty couches and the treatments they are suitable for. 

  

First off is the Lilli Electric Beauty Bed  by SEC is a great example of a multifunctional product. With 3 motors to control the backrest, leg rest and height, this bed would be ideal for treatments such a lashes, waxing and botox. We would not recommend using this as a massage bed as the pressure applied is better supported by 2 columns as opposed to 1. The cushion can be removed leaving a face hole for any treatments needing to be done on the back of the body. Available in a choice of 3 colours as standard this item can also be made bespoke in your choice of fabric and metal finish. At only £965 + VAT this bed would be a brilliant multipurpose addition to your salon.

  

Next we have the Hourglass Lash Bed with hydraulic base. Perfectly shaped and contoured to give maximum comfort to the client this lash bed would be perfect for lashes, brows etc as well as other treatments that involve the client lying down for a long time. The new hydraulic pump means it can easily be adjusted to the perfect height for the beautician. This is available is black, ivory and pink and again can be customised in your choice of fabric and metal. You can even opt for a smooth bed if you'd prefer that to the stitching. The Hourglass is only £735 + VAT!

 

The Jenni Electric Beauty Bed is another superb item to consider when buying a beauty bed. Brand new and exclusive to SEC the Jenni is height adjustable with a remote controlled back and leg rest and removable face hole. Consider this bed for treatments such as facials, botox, tattooing etc. The bed is customisable so it can fit in with your salon theme with a white base to keep it neutral. This bed is £995 + VAT!

  

Next we'll move onto the 4 motor options we have. The Jessi Electric Beauty Bed in White is a 4 motor addition to our beauty collection. As well as controlling the backrest, leg rest and height the bed can also be tilted to provide an extra dimension of ease whilst performing treatments which is also beneficial to your posture as you aren't having to lean over the client to reach. This bed is ideal for a wide range of treatments due to its flexibility. The armrests can be adjusted and removed and the footrest extends. Again, we wouldn't recommend this bed for massage due to the pressure being applied during a massage. This bed is available in white for that modern aesthetic feel. The Jessi Bed is £1095 + VAT! 

  

The Luci Massage bed is a superb addition to your space, especially if massage is one of the main treatments you are offering. It has 4 motors so your client can be moved into the perfect position for you using the height, backrest, leg rest and tilt functions. For ultimate ease you can press the CPR button and the bed will return to the original position on its own saving you time at the end of a treatment. The 3 drawers underneath offer hidden storage to help to keep your salon tidy and uncluttered. Due to having 2 columns of support underneath, this bed is perfect for massaging as well as many other treatments such as tattooing, botox and aesthetics. The Luci is £1395 + VAT and is the ultimate luxury beauty bed! 

We have these and many more on our website! There is a bed to suit every budget and with a huge array of treatments offered by the beauty industry it is so important that you choose the right bed for your salon and the treatments you offer, as well as one that fits with your budget. 

We also have other items which would be make great additions to your beauty set-up!

Consider the Nyomi Beauty Trolley for sleek storage and easy manoeuvering. With a large worktop area it is ideal for treatments with a lot of instruments or that require a lot of space. The Nyomi is £310 + VAT and is available in black and gold and ivory and gold or it can also be customised in your choice of paint and metal.

The Sadie Saddle Stool in white is great for helping you keep your lower back strong and supported. Saddle sitting is also great for circulation in the legs and helps to prevent foot swelling (something I'm sure all of you have felt after a long day!) due to the fact there is no edge pressing on your upper leg so all the veins and arteries are in an open position. For only £59 + VAT this is a huge bargain with so many benefits! There is an option of having this stool with a backrest too for even more support and comfort.
