Vibromassage system
5 Products
Backwash unit with vibromassage can enhance the washing experience with a gentle, vibrating massage function—especially for salons that want to offer their customers an additional comfort upgrade as they recline. The intensity and effect depend heavily on the specific system and, depending on the model, should be understood more as a “gentle additional feature.”
An honest assessment is important to us: Vibromassage can be a practical solution in certain cases when a massage function is desired but the budget or installation space is limited. However, for a lasting, consistent massage experience, many salons rely on other massage technologies that are often more noticeable and easier to control in practice. That is why we offer vibromassage models as an option—but we are happy to advise you on which solution best suits your needs, your daily routine, and your frequency of use.

Massage Wash Chairs – Which Technology Fits Your Budget?
With massage wash chairs, you have three options: vibration massage, roller massage, or air massage. Each technology has its strengths—we’ll help you find the right one for your budget and needs.
A comparison of the three massage technologies
1. Vibration massage (budget entry-level)
- ✅ Most affordable option – ideal for a small budget
- ✅ Perfect for entrepreneurs and those new to massage
- ✅ Gentle vibration for relaxation
- ✅ Low starting price
- ⚠️ Important to know: The foam inside may settle over time, and the massage effect diminishes after a few years
- ⚠️ If you’re planning for the long term, the extra cost for air massage is worth it
Who is vibration massage suitable for? If you’re starting with a small budget, want to gain initial experience with massage wash stations, or are equipping a second wash station, vibration massage is a solid choice. It offers your customers a pleasant relaxation experience at a fair price.
2. Roller Massage (Mid-Range)
- ✅ Mechanical rollers massage the back
- ✅ More intense massage than vibration
- ✅ Solid mid-range solution
- ⚠️ Backrest only – no seat or leg rest
- ⚠️ Regular maintenance (lubrication) required
- ⚠️ The massage experience is subjective—some customers prefer gentler air massage
3. Air Massage (Premium Recommendation)
- ✅ Highest-quality and most durable option
- ✅ Works for back, seat, AND leg rests
- ✅ Minimal maintenance, long-lasting
- ✅ A pleasant, gentle massage experience
- ✅ Best investment for long-term use
- ⚠️ Higher purchase price (starting at €3,000–3,500)
Which massage fits your budget?
Small budget (start-up, second washing station):
Vibration massage is a good choice to start with. It offers your customers a massage experience at a fair price. If you want to upgrade later, you can switch to air massage.
Medium budget (established salon):
Roller massage offers a more intense massage than vibration. However, keep in mind the need for regular maintenance and that only the back is massaged.
Long-term investment (premium salon, wellness focus):
Air massage is the best choice. It lasts for many years, requires minimal maintenance, and offers the most pleasant massage experience. The higher investment pays off in the long run.
Air massage options: What would you like to massage?
With air massage, you have a choice:
- Back only: Basic model, most affordable entry-level option for air massage
- Back + Seat: Extended massage for greater relaxation
- Backrest + Seat + Leg Rest: A Complete Wellness Experience
Prices & Investment
Vibration massage: Most affordable entry point, ideal for a small budget
Roller massage: Mid-range price
Air massage: Starting at approx. €3,000–3,500, premium models up to €5,000
Our tip: If your budget allows, invest in air massage right away. It is durable, low-maintenance, and offers the best massage experience. If your budget is tight, vibration massage is a solid starting point—you can always upgrade later.
Alternative: Premium massage wash stations with jet massage
In addition to air massage, there are also premium massage wash stations with jet massage:
- Jet massage: Water jets massage the neck and shoulders during the wash
- Shiatsu Massage: Pressure-point massage for deep relaxation
