I’m looking to purchase new shampoo units , what do you recommend? I currently have a fixed bowl situation,but new bowls seem to all come with a built in headrest in the bowl. Thoughts on tilt bowls? Will need to be a side wash unit, thanks
Tilt shampoo bowl versus fixed bowl??

Hi,
I work for Alan Howard and all we sell nowadays is the tilting type as they suit all customers of all heights and are much more comfortable for them.

There are benefits to both!
I worked where we had the fixed Bowland a movable chair - it's a nightmare for different height people, as it's a lot of fuss moving the chair to get the correct position. But the major plus to this is that if you have clients with neck issues, or mobility issues then they can stand or sit facing forward into the bowl. The other major plus is that any client in a wheel chair can also comfortably use the basin without having to transfer in to the backwash chair.
The major plus to a complete backwash unit is that they are way more comfortable, because you can move the basin. It's much less fuss to get the position right. The downsides are : it's hard for people to lean over if they can't lie back. It's hard for people with limited mobility / wheel chair users.
If you have the room and the choice I'd possibly opt for one of each.
If you're looking to buy several, then I'd probably make sure I have at least one fixed bowl for the above reasons and allowing you to accommodate a wider range of clients.
