In an ever-evolving industry, the clear distinctions that once existed between salons that specialised only in hair, beauty or wellness have altered, with increasing numbers now offering a more diverse service menu. As hair salons incorporate Head Spas, beauty and nails, and beauty salons and spas embrace Japanese Head Spa and scalp care, this trend has always been present, but it’s now much more prevalent and fast changing.
Driven primarily by consumer demand and their changing expectations, salons have responded by adapting their environment and offering to accommodate clients who now want wellness experiences, rather than standalone services.
Takara Belmont’s National Sales Manager Katie Fielder comments: “In years gone by, clients mainly went to the hair salon for hairdressing and colour, the beauty salon for facials and body treatments, and the nail bar to get their nails done. And if they wanted a luxury experience, they’d go to a day spa or hotel spa. While there are still outlets that focus on one area, the crossover of services in mainstream salons, beauty outlets and spas is on the rise. In particular, Japanese Head Spas, scalp care and immersive wellness treatments have accelerated change, but client demand has too. Today’s clients want a wide range of hair and beauty services in one location that delivers an all-encompassing self-care experience.”
Leaders In Multi-Purpose Innovation
As leaders in equipment innovation for more than a century, Takara Belmont has always catered for salons that combine hair and beauty, whilst their ongoing evolution continues to break new ground with advanced multi-purpose concepts.
From the Cadilla M and Dainty - that have provided salons with multi-purpose chair options for decades - to the recently launched Luar that combines motorised functionality with high-end luxury, Katie guides us through a selection of multi-purpose chairs that are redefining services and enhancing commercial prospects for salons.
“These multi-purpose chairs all support hair and beauty services including eyelash, eyebrows and facials, as well as core hairdressing,” says Katie. “Some of our products, like the Cadilla M and Dainty, continue to thrive in a variety of settings, while the Luar reflects the rising appetite for luxury and wellness, and how our products are transforming everyday services into exceptional hair and beauty experiences.”
Cadilla M - a Multi-Purpose Icon
For over three decades, the Cadilla styling chair has been a design icon in the Takara Belmont portfolio. Strong, assured and based on a classic American car seat aesthetic, this chair remains globally popular. The multi-purpose version, Cadilla M, features a reclining backrest and a height adjustable headrest to ensure complete comfort for a wide range of hair and beauty treatments.
Dainty - A Versatile Modern Classic
With a slimmer profile, reclining backrest and upholstered padded armrests, the Dainty is one of the best examples of how Takara Belmont’s products have crossed over into hairdressing and beauty. Originally conceived as a men’s grooming chair, where it’s still an international best-seller, the Dainty is increasingly favoured by nail bars and brow bars, such as Blink Brow Bars, and hair and beauty salons owing to its timeless design, comfort and unrivalled reliability.
Luar - An Evolution in Advanced Luxury
As an evolution in advanced luxury, motorised technology and versatility, Luar seamlessly transitions from a seated position to a full lie-flat backwash at the touch of a button. With a synchronised extending heated leg-rest ensuring exceptional levels of comfort and relaxation, Luar allows for a wide range of hair, beauty and nail services to be served without your client having to move around the salon. Especially ideal for longer services and treatments.
