Head Spa
Chairs that turn hair washing into a ritual. For head spa treatments, hair care, and Shirodhara.
Zenith
From the chair to a horizontal position: Zenith positions your client while she is seated and uses a patented mechanism to lower her into a reclining position.
from 6.993 €
Zenith puts people first. Sit down as if in an armchair; settle in as if on a treatment table. For salons that want to make head spa treatments, skincare, and relaxation a signature service.
Slip in as if you were sitting in a chair.
Your client takes a comfortable seat. Backrest, seat, and leg rest move in sync, gently lowering her into a horizontal position.
No need to move or stand up: The transition from a seated to a reclining position happens all by itself.
More than just a hair wash.
Available upon request with a Shirodhara set for oil pouring, a waterfall shower, an integrated sound system, a heated reclining surface, and jet massage.
This transforms the Wash station into a treatment station, making your salon feel like a spa.

Every item. Just right.
Backrest, seat, and leg rest slide synchronously from the seated to the reclined position and can be stopped at any point.

Space for long hair.
