How to choose the right makeup chair
1. Your makeup chair should be stable: You cannot have a client toppling over an unstable makeup chair. The chair must be stable and stationary so your client can feel comfortable and safe. A stable chair also ensures that your makeup comes out just perfect; an unstable chair only leads to splotchy and uneven makeup. The legs of your makeup chair must be balanced with the legs tightly secured.
2. The proper height: The height of your makeup chair is important both for you and for your customer. It needs to be tall enough so you will not have to bend over while attending to your client. It ensures you do not get a bad back. You should be able to work with your back upright, and the face of your customer should be lower than yours.
3. It should be easy to handle and portable: This is for traveling makeup artists. Your chair should be easy to open and close. You cannot start assembling chair pieces with screws and spanners at the dying minute, and you cannot be heaving heavy makeup chairs around, either. It would help if you had a bag to fit the chair into for protection and portability easily.
4. Your makeup chair should be structurally strong: Buying a makeup chair made with inferior material reduces the durability factor of a makeup chair. You would not want to replace a makeup chair every year. Your chair must be safe and durable.
5. Customizable: Your chair should be customizable because branding your chair with your logo speaks volumes. It is all part of brand communication and marketing.
6. Spare parts availability: If your chair is durable, that means it is going to be with you for a long period. During that time, accidents may happen; perhaps a hand comes off, or the logo on the backrest of your chair fades off. You may want to replace that, and having spare parts provided by the manufacturers will do you a world of good. So, before you buy that chair, ensure the company has spare parts available for such incidents.
