Keep reading to learn everything you need to know when shopping for salon shampoo bowls with and without chairs on eBay.

When you are shopping on eBay for a new salon sink, you may find plenty of features and design choices. Here are some that are commonly available:

• Plumbing: Some affordable salon shampoo bowls come with plumbing fixtures and attachments included.
• Tilt: Some sinks include mounting brackets that allow for positioning the sink for each user.
• Chairs: Some salon shampoo units have built-in chairs that recline and may help you save space.
• Portable: Portable shampoo bowls are available for salons with limited space or to accommodate customers who are not very mobile.
• Sprayers: Handheld sprayer heads allow you to rinse hard to reach areas to help ensure all products are fully removed from the hair.

You want to make sure that you find the right sink unit for your use. First, you'll need to decide what size sink unit is going to serve your needs. If you are working with clients in your home, a portable unit may be a good choice. There are even some inflatable basins that can be placed around your client's neck to catch rinse water. However, salons with more than one stylist might benefit from a larger sink unit with an integrated chair and tiltable sink basin.

You'll want to assess your plumbing and purchase a salon shampoo bowl that is compatible with it. For some units, you may need to purchase plumbing accessories and parts to aid in installing your sink separately. You'll also want to consider if you have to buy a brand-new salon sink unit or if you would be comfortable buying one used.

There are times when buying a used salon shampoo unit is a good choice. They are generally more affordable than buying new ones, so if you are trying to stretch your budget, you might find a good deal on a used sink with some great features that you couldn't afford new. You also might find vintage models that are not being made anymore.
