Backwash bliss: luxury salon picks

Whether your clients enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, or want to benefit from a couple of hours' pure escapism in the salon, creating a luxurious backwash is guaranteed to make them feel special. 

The deluxe Komodo fixed-basin unit from Albert Ewan (from £3,190) has a truly luxurious feel. Six motors combine for a variety of massage functions, to leave clients feeling truly spoilt. 

Also putting client comfort first, the H2O wash unit from the Salon Equipment Centre (from £4,103) boasts a super-squidgy seat and plump back padding. A smooth, motorised system slides and lifts the client from a seated position to a relaxing horizontal one, with various shiatsu and vibrating massage options available at the flick of a switch. Ideal for use during relaxing treatments. 

Offering a similar function, but on a more compact scale, the Air Lux backwash from Salon Ambience (from £4,279) features an innovative in-built massage system. A constant air supply manipulates back muscles for gentle relaxation. 

Creating a comfortable and stylish talking point, the eye-catching Pasha sofa-style unit from LSE (from £2,850) is available in a variety of finishes, with a black or white basin. The unusual design is perfect for client evenings, but it will also cause a stir in the salon during the day.
