Reverse washbasins are most commonly used at the hairdresser's washing station. And it is usually what your clients are used to. However, it can be helpful to have a forward washbasin in your salon. There are two groups of clients for whom this is mainly needed:
Older customers. For them, the backward washing chairs are often not only unsuitable because of the mobility, but also uncomfortable due to the head position during washing.
For customers in wheelchairs. The hairdresser's wash chairs often cannot be separated from the wash column. So it is anything but wheelchair-friendly. A problem that you as a hairdresser and client do not have with the forward washbasin. As an alternative, you as a hairdresser can also set up a rotating washbasin. This way, the customer in the wheelchair can simply sit to the side of the hairdresser's washbasin.
If you have enough space, in t egrate both variants into your equipment and let the customer decide in case of doubt. A service that can bring you more satisfaction.
