New Look, Same Chairs

A salon that looks tired does not need new chairs. Salon furniture reupholstery NYC work recovers the ones you have, in one color, from the styling floor to reception.

What Stays, What’s New

Why covers go

What Wears Out Salon Covers

Salon covers fail from what is used on the client, not from sitting. When the damage covers the whole seat, a new cover costs less than repeated repairs.

Questions

Salon furniture reupholstery NYC questions

What does salon furniture reupholstery NYC cost?

Salon furniture reupholstery NYC work is quoted per piece after we see it, in person or from photos. It depends on the chair, the cover and the foam. We do not quote off a list. Start with a free estimate.

Do we have to close the salon?

No. We work station by station, or on your closed day. Chairs that need the shop go by pickup and delivery.

Can you change the whole salon to a new color?

Yes. Every chair, bed and bench can go into one new color. Or keep the old one with color matching.

Which cover stands up to salon chemicals?

A commercial vinyl with a top coat rated for cleaners and color. See commercial vinyl and faux leather.

Repair or reupholster?

Repair a single tear or burn. Reupholster when stains, fading or cracks cover the seat. See salon furniture repair.

Do you work on hydraulic chairs?

Yes, including chairs from makers like Kaemark. The seat unbolts from the pump, so the hydraulics are never opened or replaced.
