Because there are so many types of beauty couches available, choosing the best one will in large part be determined by the functions you need it to meet. There is a good deal of versatility in the different styles, so one beauty couch may be useful for several different functions. Dual purpose pieces can be far more cost effective than single use items, so you may wish to look for a beauty couch that can be used in multiple ways. Comparing sizes, materials, styles, prices, and other factors will also help you make a decision.

An adjustable beauty couch can be used in a number of different ways. Lying flat, it can be used as a massage table. When moved to a position where the top section is upright, and the bottom section is lowered, the client can sit comfortably to enjoy a manicure or pedicure. While there are special chairs made for these purposes, you may not need to invest in several pieces right away if one piece can serve a variety of functions. A client can sit upright while cosmetics are being applied or while hair is being cut, colored, or styled as well.

The space in which the beauty couch will be used is important. You will want to find a size that fits well in the space. A piece that can be folded down to save space or one that can easily be moved to the side when not in use may also be a good choice.

The material from which beauty shop furniture is made also plays a key role in making a selection. A beauty couch should be durable and require only basic care. Good maintenance will help keep beauty equipment looking great and in useable condition for a long time to come, so easy care and cleaning is essential.

Beauty couches come in basic models, high0end models that make a statement, and many others in between. Some people prefer form over function while others tend to make their selections based on practicality. You can likely find something mid-range that has some flare but still won’t blow your budget.

As with most purchases, cost is also a consideration when choosing a beauty couch. Shop around and compare to find the best value. Do not be too quick to rule out used beauty equipment as you may be able to find some great deals. Beauty schools and other salons can be great sources for bargains.
