As a barber, your craft is all about skill, efficiency, and creating a top-tier experience—your chair should keep up. The Legend chair from Takara Belmont moves with you, making every service seamless while providing a unique experience that leaves clients looking forward to their next visit. From back-to-back appointments to detailed beard trims, the Legend’s ergonomic design keeps your customer at ease while giving you full control to work efficiently.

“Prices have been rising since the pandemic. With higher rates came higher expectations—clients wanted more than a clean cut; they needed an experience that matched those prices,” said Steve Hughes, National Sales Manager at Takara Belmont USA. “That’s why barbers turned to the Legend chair. Some set up a single unit as a VIP station, while others went all‑in with a full lineup. Either way, it made a statement: this isn’t just a haircut—it’s a premium experience.”

Here’s how this chair is leading the evolution of modern barbering and why it’s a must-have for all shops.

A Control Panel That Puts Efficiency at Your Fingertips

With the dual-sided control panel, barbers can make quick adjustments to the Legend without breaking their flow. The auto-return switch, equipped with an LED light, makes it easy to spot—even when hidden under the client’s cape. One quick tap resets the chair, getting you ready for the next client in seconds.

Designed for ease, the Legend chair puts everything at your fingertips for a smooth experience with every cut.

No Obstructions, Just Seamless Workflow

A barber’s workflow is built on precision and speed, and the Legend’s 360-degree lockable rotation is designed to support both. Whether perfecting a tight lineup or executing a detailed straight razor shave, barbers can seamlessly adjust the chair to the ideal angle and lock it securely in place.

For hands-free convenience, the foot switch allows effortless height and rotation adjustments, keeping the barber’s focus where it matters—on the client. Every feature is crafted to work in harmony with the barber, ensuring seamless movement and control.

Designed for Comfort from Head to Toe

With its full-flat reclining feature, the Legend chair expands service possibilities, allowing barbers to offer facials, head spa treatments, and extended shampoo sessions. Whether it’s a quick beard trim or a luxurious skincare treatment, the chair provides a seamless and professional experience for every service.

The adjustable 90-degree rotatable headrest enhances comfort by naturally supporting the client’s head and neck, even when fully reclined. Additionally, when the chair is fully flat, a foot cushion on the raised step provides optimal support, ensuring a balanced and restful lying posture. Together, these features create a relaxing, full-body experience that lets clients unwind and enjoy their treatment.

Crafted for comfort, the Legend chair enables barbers to deliver exceptional services while ensuring clients remain relaxed and at ease throughout their entire experience.

The Ultimate Investment in Your Shop’s Future

The Legend chair is more than just a seat—it’s a game-changing investment in both your craft and the experience you deliver. With its ergonomic design, seamless functionality, and unrivaled comfort, it’s no wonder barbershops everywhere are making the switch. Whether you’re looking to expand your service offerings or streamline your workflow, the Legend chair empowers you to take your shop to the next level.

“When barbers bring in the Legend, it’s usually about more than just the chair—it’s about creating an immersive experience,” says Deirdre Paley, Northeast Sales Manager at Takara Belmont USA, Inc. “A lot of owners have told me it shifts the energy in their shop. It brings a more premium look and feel to the space. The comfort, the design, the way it works—it all kind of signals that this isn’t just another haircut. It’s something people want to come back for.”

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:

• 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.
