Pedicure Spa

Professional pedicure spa chairs come in a variety of styles, colors and functions. Typically overstuffed and luxurious, a whirlpool foot spa is designed with comfort in mind. A standard pedicure chair has different foot spa and pedicure station options that determine its ultimate cost.

Most pedicure spa chairs come with high-quality leather or vinyl seating. In addition, a matching pedicure stool is almost always included for the pedicurist's comfort. Removable basins for the whirlpool are included. Typical basin capacity for the whirlpool component is four to six gallons, with a discharge pump for drainage available for most models. A good pedicure spa whirlpool reclines for customer comfort, and higher-end models even offer multiple setting massage and seat warming options.

Costs & Upkeep
Pedicure spa whirlpool chairs and complementary spa salon equipment can be very pricey, but offer a substantial return on the investment. Chairs typically range in manufacturer suggested price from about $1,800 to $4,800 or more. Often, this doesn't include the price of the discharge pump, customized upholstery, manicure tray or pedicure tray attachments or other additions. That said, these chairs can be found at a substantial discount on halfvalue.

The upkeep of spa salon equipment like pedicure foot spas is easy for most machines. Pour a small amount of low-foaming cleanser (like dishwashing crystals) into the basin and run the whirlpool for a few minutes to clean out the tub and jets. Sanitation in accordance with state regulations varies, but running a hospital-grade sanitizer in the tub for a few minutes after each pedicure will usually satisfy cleanliness requirements.
