Traditional Low Backed Round Seat

This polyurethane leather pedicure stool in six finishes supports 300 pounds on easy-to-clean upholstery with a round seat and a short, raised, rounded back. The metal pedestal is adjustable and attaches to a base of five wheels.

Designer Advice:

Low pedicure stool designs put you in the perfect position for painting your toes without causing distress to your back and bones. In addition, the low seat back puts ideal pressure on the bottom parts of your back for comfortable seating. And having an adjustable height base and five caster wheels on turned-down feet allows for easy moving and custom height.

Crisp White Minimalstic Pedi Stool

This minimalistic pedicure stool with footrest has a flat seat wrapped in soft PU faux leather. You can adjust the height and keep your feet comfy on the attached circular footrest. The shiny base secures five downturned wheels.

Designer Advice:

While some pedicure stools have low backs, there are also plenty of backless stool designs. The advantage of these designs is that there is no one way to sit on them. And pedi stools with built-in wheels are easier to move around without standing up. In addition, built-in footrests provide a convenient place to put your feet.

Designer Advice:

You can choose any style of stool for pedicure, depending on your preferences and size. Many chairs have backs if a backless design isn’t right for you. An open back frame gives you a modern feel without being too traditional. The wheel structure can also play a role in which seat is right.

Buying Guide

The right pedicure stools can give any salon its much-needed upgrade to attract more clients. After all, when you’re comfortable during a treatment and you’re in a stylish room, you would want to keep coming back to the place that made you feel special, right? With that said, you need to ensure the pedicure stools you get can allow you to enjoy all the advantages of having the right salon seating option. To do that, here are the factors you need to take into consideration:

What are the benefits of pedicure stools?

Although pedicure stools require an investment on your end, they will pay you back in many folds as more and more customers experience the comfort and customer service your salon is capable of giving. Furthermore, pedicure stools, especially ones with casters for the use of your nail and spa specialists, will ensure your workers stay happy and do their job with pleasure.

What features to look for in pedicure stools?

Acetone Resistance

Some people worry that harsh acetone from a nail polish remover may ruin the beautiful finishes of their pedicure stools. If you are one of them, then you need to ensure that you only get pedicure stools that are made to be acetone proof or resistant. In case a worker of yours gets too sloppy handling the polish remover, you won’t have to throw the stool out.

There are stools that have been applied with an acrylic finish to make them resistant to acetone. With these chairs, polish remover won’t do any harm to the seats but they have to be cleaned up quickly.

Extra features

Extra features that might upgrade both your comfort of work and the customer's experience include magnetic pipeless jets, glass bowls, arm trays, or massage ability.

Warranty

Make sure you pay close attention to the critical points as to what the warranty covers including the duration. There are “limited” warranties, which only cover some parts and not every single aspect or component of products like the parts that are the first to wear and tear.

It's important that you buy from a reputable seller of pedicure stools to ensure you are given the best customer service possible after the sale.

Aside from customer support, the manufacturer should be reachable in case you need replacement parts. If possible, ask the manufacturer regarding the availability of parts that may need replacement as not all manufacturers stock up on them.
