Buy-Rite Beauty offers a complete collection of diverse salon shampoo cabinetry to help stylists, colorists, and barbers stay organized throughout the busy salon day. Shampoo cabinetry is typically a large cabinet with storage specifically for color shampoo products and towels. It may have a bottle well, countertop space, and additional storage for a more streamlined workspace. Shampoo cabinetry is essential for salons that focus on shampoo services and need a way to keep their products organized. It is different from a color bar because it does not have specific color storage or sinks. We evaluated the entire collection based on critical grading criteria to present the top-ranked picks for 2024.

SHAMPOO CABINET #1
Why Stylists Love It: The Bali Shampoo Back Bar is a modern solution for keeping your space neat and organized. It features two large storage cabinets, two shampoo wells, and a tilt-out soiled towel hamper on the bottom section. The upper section has three large storage cabinets with adjustable shelves to conveniently customize this cabinet to fit your specific needs. It is available in 20 gorgeous color options with brushed metal handles for added detail.
Considerations: This shampoo cabinet is perfect for storing everything and serving as a workspace, but make sure you’ve got enough wall space for it to function properly. Check that your walls are load-bearing and have enough clearance so that doors can open and close without any issues.
Shopper’s Tip: Stylists appreciate this cabinetry for its dual functionality, offering both ample storage and workspace in one convenient spot. Its design flexibility enhances salon efficiency while adding a stylish touch to the shampoo area, creating a more complete experience for clients. Additionally, the tilt-out soiled towel hamper ensures easy access and effective organization.
SHAMPOO CABINET #2
Why Stylists Love It: The 5300 Shampoo Caddy with Storage is economical with a great design. It is made of all wood in the USA and comes in 20 stunning colors. It has a built-in bottle well for shampoo bottles and the cabinet has an adjustable shelf for towels or color. Its small footprint makes it easy to work around and more versatile. Additionally, it ships fully assembled so you can set it up right out of the box.
Considerations: This cabinet is not designed for storing color or large quantities of products, so be sure to plan for additional storage solutions for overflow. It’s intended to complement backwash units or wall-mounted shampoo bowls by keeping tools and essential items within reach. Make sure you have separate storage arrangements for managing excess color and products.
Shopper’s Tip: This is the ideal choice for salons with limited space, featuring a free-standing design and a compact footprint. It’s perfect for tight spots, whether you’re using wall-mount shampoo bowls or shampoo backwash units. Its streamlined design makes it an excellent fit for salon suites and smaller areas.
SHAMPOO CABINET #3
Why Stylists Love It: The Olla Shampoo Bowl and Cabinet has a streamlined design that keeps storage space handy during shampoo services. It has a basic and simple design that features a heavy-duty acrylic shampoo bowl and a freestanding wood cabinet. The wood cabinet is made specifically for this shampoo bowl and offers extra storage. The shampoo bowl comes with all needed hardware making it a great value.
Considerations: This bowl and cabinet combo only comes in all-black, so it might not suit more vibrant or bold styles. If you’re after something similar, but with more design flexibility, consider the Bali Head Spa Pedestal Shampoo Unit.

Additionally, it comes in a wide selection of colors with a metal toe-kick for a fully customized look.
Considerations: This shampoo cabinet is designed for storage to keep your space clean and organized. Keep in mind, it does not come with a bottle well on the countertop for frequently used bottles.

The upper section of this shampoo unit features two large storage cabinets with adjustable shelves. It comes in 20 stunning color options to fit any design aesthetic.
Considerations: This shampoo cabinetry is uniquely designed for wall-mounted bowls only. It has a designated space to mount a shampoo bowl which makes it incompatible with shampoo backwash units.

It comes in many color options to fit your desired aesthetic.
Considerations: This leg-elevated station offers easier cleaning and a smaller footprint, along with a super modern look that brings a fresh, new-age touch to your salon. However, its sleek, contemporary design might not suit every salon’s style, as it leans heavily into modern aesthetics.
Shopper’s Tip: Stylists appreciate the Collins E1103P-32 Aspen Backbar Storage for its generous countertop space, which provides ample room for all your supplies and tools.
