Looking for the Perfect Barber Chair? Here’s Why the 225 Is an Icon

A barber’s chair isn’t just a seat—it’s the center of every cut, shave, and conversation. Leading barbers know that selecting the right chair isn’t only about looks; it’s also about the client experience. Takara Belmont’s 225 sets the standard for exceptional barber chairs, blending comfort, functionality, and timeless design like no other chair can.

So, what should barbers look for in a chair, and why does the 225 check every box?

Comfort That Elevates Every Cut

Long hours behind the chair demand equipment that offers unwavering support for both barbers and clients. The 225 is designed with superior comfort in mind, featuring supportive cushioning and an ergonomic recline that ensures clients remain at ease throughout their service. Its sturdy build provides the stability barbers need for precision work, while the versatile headrest enhances both comfort and functionality.

“The adjustable headrest can also sit underneath the client’s neck, giving them that extra tilt-up when you are doing any of the hairline and edge-up on the front, making it super comfortable,” says Sofie “StayGold” Pok in an Instagram video. Sofie is a barber educator, content creator, and co-creator of STMNT Grooming Goods.

By enhancing client comfort and reducing barber strain, the 225 boosts both loyalty and efficiency. It’s built to deliver an outstanding experience for everyone involved. This transforms every appointment into a stress-free service with features like:

  • Ergonomically designed seat that supports proper posture with S-shaped spring and “waving belt” mechanism.
  • Comfortably padded armrests for ultimate relaxation and a supportive yet indulgent feel.
  • Adjustable and removable headrest with eight height settings that can be easily repositioned when reclining or detached for easy access.

Functionality Redefined with Effortless Efficiency

In a bustling barbershop, efficiency isn’t optional—it’s essential. The perfect chair should enhance the barber’s craft, not hinder it. The 225 embodies this principle, delivering a seamless performance that streamlines every appointment.

As Ryan Damien, co-owner of Unison Men’s Salon, highlights in an Instagram video with BarberEVO, the 225 allows him to “get close to the client while still allowing them enough room for comfort.” This perfect balance of accessibility and comfort makes the 225 an essential tool for professionals who demand the highest level of performance. Its versatility is unmatched, easily repositioning to both client and service needs, ensuring support and efficiency with features like:

  • Smooth reclining mechanism that effortlessly adjusts from 30 to 75 degrees, providing versatile support for a wide range of services.
  • Towel holder and clipper hook to keep tools within reach for easy, uninterrupted workflow.
  • Optional heelrest that elevates a client’s feet, keeping them relaxed and reducing strain during longer services.

Timeless Aesthetic That Defines Your Shop’s Style

Top-tier barbers understand that every detail counts—and the right chair can transform the entire atmosphere of a shop. The 225 seamlessly combines style and functionality with a sleek, sophisticated design that stands the test of time.

When selecting a chair to define their space, barbers should prioritize timeless style that endures. The 225 stands out, delivering both style and substance with:

  • Polished cast iron body for a sleek and professional look to enhance any shop’s atmosphere.
  • Refined aesthetic that combines vintage charm with lasting appeal for a classic yet modern touch.
  • Stylish vertical cushion lines that create a structured, eye-catching design and contribute to the chair’s striking appearance.

Choosing the right barber chair is a critical decision that impacts both the quality of service and the overall ambiance of any barbershop. The 225 stands in a league of its own, providing exceptional support, unmatched efficiency, and a design that redefines style. Peter Chen of 12 Pell, a barbershop and lifestyle store, captures the chair’s enduring value, saying, “Each Belmont 225 carries a legacy—a symbol of timeless excellence.” He further emphasizes its significance, calling it “a true piece of history,” highlighting the lasting impact this chair has on the industry.

Selecting the 225 is more than just choosing a chair—it’s establishing a legacy of greatness that clients will appreciate for years to come.

    Origins of The Head Spa Sanctuary

    Opened in April 2024, The Head Spa Sanctuary in Charlotte, North Carolina, is the brainchild of Kecia and David Purser. This 800-square-foot space, styled in a modern boho aesthetic, offers a unique blend of luxury and holistic wellness. As Charlotte’s first authentic Japanese Head Spa, the sanctuary has quickly distinguished itself by integrating Takara Belmont’s state-of-the-art equipment to deliver an unparalleled spa experience.

    Design and Ambiance

    The sanctuary is meticulously designed to create an immersive sensory experience. The combination of Kecia and David’s global travel inspirations and their attention to detail is evident throughout the space. From the moment clients step through the door, they are enveloped in a soothing ambiance—twinkling candlelight, soft overhead lighting, and the subtle glow of a backlit logo set the mood for relaxation.

    Kecia’s vision for the spa is clear: “When I made the decision to launch Charlotte’s first authentic Japanese Head Spa, I conducted thorough research to select the best vendors. My aim was to procure the most comfortable, efficient, and authentic equipment available.” This commitment to excellence is reflected in every detail of the design, from custom-designed fluted cabinets, crafted by Kecia’s father-in-law, to the unique tree shelf displaying the Oway retail line. These elements, combined with the aromatic allure of freshly brewed organic tea and the comforting warmth of lavender neck pillows, create a truly inviting environment.

    Equipment and Services

    Central to the spa’s offerings is Takara Belmont’s YUME brand, which Kecia selected after extensive research. The sanctuary is equipped with YUME shampoo units, Espoir stools, Spa Mist II, and the YUME Head Bath—all in classic black, enhancing the spa’s sleek and modern aesthetic.

    Kecia’s decision to integrate Takara Belmont’s equipment was driven by her desire to offer the most comfortable and authentic experience possible: “I was almost swayed towards [other shampoo equipment] until I discovered Takara Belmont’s Yume brand. Opting to center our brand around Takara Belmont’s Yume shampoo unit, we also incorporated the Espoir stool, Head bath, and Spa Mist II into our setup, all in the classic black.”

    Since its launch, The Head Spa Sanctuary has provided over 650 Head Spa services, offering personalized treatments tailored to address specific scalp concerns. “Our clients are thrilled with their visits to The Head Spa Sanctuary. We aim to provide a welcoming and serene experience from the initial contact, whether it’s via phone, social media, email, or in person. Upon entering our exclusive Head Spa room and settling on the bed, our clients cannot stop praising the comfort and ergonomic design of the Yume shampoo unit.”The spa’s treatments are based on a thorough microscopic scalp evaluation, ensuring that each client’s needs are met with precision and care, whether addressing buildup, oiliness, dryness, or sensitivity.

    The Experience

    The Head Spa Sanctuary is more than just a spa; it’s a sanctuary where clients can escape the stresses of daily life. Each visit is tailored to offer a luxurious, rejuvenating experience. Clients are invited to relax in a cozy environment, complete with luxury robes, a blanket menu, and cozy socks—all designed to enhance their comfort.

    One of the most celebrated aspects of the spa’s service is the YUME Head Bath. Clients eagerly anticipate this part of their treatment, with the continuous circulation of fresh water providing a unique and therapeutic experience. “The standout feature is the Yume Head Bath. Our customers eagerly anticipate this part of our Head Spa treatment because of its therapeutic and relaxing nature. The design of the Head Bath and the continuous circulation of fresh water make it a unique product in the market.”

    Kecia also appreciates the all-around thoughtfulness the YUME Head Spa bed: “I admire the flexibility and practicality of the Yume Head Spa bed. Here are some features that stand out: The ability to lower the bed to accommodate shorter clients, the option to raise it for our Specialists to stand while providing services, customization options for reclining further or sitting up for client comfort, [and] the gel-designed neck rests that enhance client comfort.”

    The spa’s clientele is diverse, ranging from individuals with physical disabilities and the elderly to children, and the YUME bed is suitable for all, making the experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

    A Sanctuary of Wellness and Elegance

    The Head Spa Sanctuary stands as a testament to Kecia and David Purser’s dedication to creating a space where holistic wellness meets luxury. By carefully selecting Takara Belmont’s cutting-edge equipment and integrating it into a thoughtfully designed environment, they have crafted a sanctuary that offers not only relaxation but a transformative journey for the senses.

    As Kecia reflects, “Since our launch in April 2024, we have performed more than 650 Head Spa services, which has been a delightful experience.” The Head Spa Sanctuary has quickly become a destination for those seeking an unparalleled spa experience, marked by comfort, efficacy, and a commitment to excellence.
