Barber and dental chairs

A chair that someone sits in a dozen or more times a day wears out at a rate no domestic piece of furniture comes close to. On top of that there are chemicals: cosmetics, disinfectants, hair dyes. The leather stiffens, cracks on the headrest and armrest, and stains soak in deep.

In a surgery or a salon, though, something else matters too: downtime. A chair out of action for a week costs more than the restoration itself, so we plan the date around your schedule, not our queue.

How we do it

• Inspection on site or from photos, with a realistic date agreed.
• Cleaning that takes into account disinfectant residue left in the material.
• Filling cracks and worn areas, most often on the headrest, armrests and seat edge.
• Re-colouring and protection with a finish that withstands frequent disinfection.

What we recommend

With two or more chairs it's worth doing them one at a time, not all at once — the practice keeps working, and the price difference is small.

If the chair is still in good condition, a yearly leather protection treatment on its own is cheaper and makes more sense. We'll tell you when that's enough instead of selling you a full restoration.
