Shampoo Units

Complete Salon Shampoo Units and Backwash Systems

A shampoo unit combines the chair, the bowl, and often the plumbing connection into a single complete piece of equipment, eliminating the need to source and coordinate separate components. For salons setting up a new shampoo area or replacing an aging backwash setup, a complete shampoo unit is the most efficient way to get a fully functional, professionally matched station in one purchase.

At Source One Beauty, we carry 84 complete shampoo units and backwash systems across eight trusted brands including Collins, Gamma and Bross Spa, DIIR, Jeffco, Takara Belmont, B&S Beauty, AYC, and YCC. With prices ranging from $375 to $16,207, our collection spans every category from accessible backwash shuttles to ultra-premium shiatsu massage sofas, giving salons and spas of every size and budget a complete solution.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is the difference between a shampoo unit and a shampoo chair?

A shampoo unit, also called a backwash unit or shuttle, is a complete station that includes both the reclining chair and the integrated bowl together as a single piece. A shampoo chair on its own does not include the bowl and must be paired with a separate bowl or cabinet to function as a complete station. Shampoo units offer a more streamlined purchasing and installation process since the chair and bowl are already matched and integrated.

What is an add-on shampoo shuttle?

An add-on shampoo shuttle is a chair designed to share a single shampoo bowl with another chair positioned back to back, rather than including its own dedicated bowl. This configuration reduces the plumbing connections needed when installing two shampoo stations, since both chairs use one shared bowl between them. Most major shuttle model lines, including Collins, offer matching add-on versions of their standard shuttles.

What is a shiatsu massage shampoo unit?

A shiatsu massage shampoo unit integrates a built-in massage function into the chair, typically activated by remote control, allowing clients to receive a relaxing massage during their shampoo or treatment service. This significantly elevates the client experience and is increasingly popular in premium salons and spas. Gamma and Bross Spa offers the most extensive shiatsu massage shampoo unit lineup in our collection, alongside select DIIR models at more accessible price points.

How much does a complete shampoo unit cost?

Our shampoo units range from $375 to $16,207. Entry-level complete units from YCC and AYC start around $375 to $785. Mid-range Jeffco and Collins shuttles fall between $1,581 and $2,599. Premium shiatsu massage units from Gamma and Bross and Takara Belmont range from $3,294 to $16,207, depending on the level of luxury and massage technology included.

Can two shampoo stations share one bowl?

Yes. This is exactly what an add-on shuttle configuration is designed for. By installing a standard shuttle and an add-on shuttle back to back, two shampoo stations can share a single shared bowl and plumbing connection, reducing both installation cost and floor space requirements compared to installing two fully independent shampoo units.

What is a double seat shampoo unit?

A double seat shampoo unit allows two clients to be serviced simultaneously from a single connected piece of furniture, each with their own seat and bowl integrated into one unit. The DIIR Mona Backwash Unit with Double Seat and the larger Gamma and Bross Celebrity Prime Shiatsu Sofa 2P and 3P models are designed for this purpose, making them ideal for high-volume salons and spas that need to maximize client throughput.

Which brand offers the best premium shampoo units?

Gamma and Bross Spa offers the largest selection of premium and luxury shampoo units, with extensive shiatsu massage technology across their Ultrawash, Washlongue, and Celebrity lines. Takara Belmont, with over a century of Japanese manufacturing expertise, offers exceptional build quality and craftsmanship across their Elite, Prime, and Luxis units. Both brands represent the top tier of shampoo unit quality available in our collection.
