SALON DRYER CHAIR #1

Why Stylists Love It: The Chelsea Dryer & Chair Combo keeps style and comfort at the forefront of this design.

The cushions are extra plush with a wide seat and tall seatback to elevate the client experience during long drying sessions. The dryer is equipped with an extra hot 980-WATT dryer with a timer and temperature controls.

It has a modern curved design with an open back that makes clean-up easy. The dryer features 980 WATTS of power, adjustable temperature control, and an oversized hood.

SALON DRYER CHAIR #4

Clients love the extra wide seats and square design because it is so comfortable. This dryer chair has a popular modern design with clean lines and an all-black color scheme. The dryer has 980 WATTS of power and comes with a timer.

Considerations: Similar to the Luna Gold Dryer Chair, the open-back design of this chair might become uncomfortable after long drying services since there is no lumbar support.
