{"product_id":"chelsea-ba-all-purpose-chair-gk-555185","title":"Chelsea BA All-Purpose Chair by Collins","description":"\u003cp class=\"drop-cap\"\u003eWhen top salon designers spec a chair again and again, there’s a reason. Chelsea BA pairs furniture-grade finishes with working-pro ergonomics, delivering that plush “lounge” first impression while quietly solving the little problems that slow services down. From the real-wood armpads to the Easy Step™ T-bar footrest and smooth hydraulic action, this is a station anchor that looks editorial in photos and feels rock-steady on a packed Saturday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for salons, barbers, beauty bars, and academies that judge equipment by outcomes, the Chelsea BA gives guests a calm, centered sit and gives you free access around the crown and nape for faster, cleaner work—service after service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSignature design that elevates the room (and your brand)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChelsea BA was created for modern spaces that demand more than just “another black chair.” The profile is refined—sweeping aluminum arms, quilted upholstery lines, and warm wood accents you can match to your millwork. It reads custom without being fussy and instantly lifts the look of a styling row, reception-visible station, or suite build-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowder-coated cast-aluminum arms\u003c\/strong\u003e—lightweight, rigid, and resistant to humidity and daily sanitation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal wood armpads\u003c\/strong\u003e in Cherry, Cafelle, Mahogany, or Maple for a tailored, furniture-grade finish that coordinates with cabinetry and flooring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpert quilted upholstery\u003c\/strong\u003e holds structure and resists sagging so the chair looks new after heavy commercial use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfort that keeps clients centered—and saves minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfort isn’t indulgence in a professional environment; it’s a productivity tool. Chelsea BA’s supportive foam and sculpted back encourage neutral alignment so guests settle quickly and stay put. That means fewer reminders to “sit up straight,” fewer micro-adjustments mid-cut, and crisper, faster results across color, cutting, grooming, and finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat depth: 18\"\u003c\/strong\u003e encourages a grounded sit that minimizes forward slide during longer services.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack height: 33\"\u003c\/strong\u003e stabilizes the upper back while keeping shoulders free for scissor and color placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside width: 22\"\u003c\/strong\u003e accommodates a broad range of body types without inflating your footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy Step™ T-bar footrest: faster, safer seating every time\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small detail that makes a big difference all day long. The Easy Step™ T-bar footrest with cast aluminum tread plate gives clients a confident perch the moment they approach the station.

Chelsea BA’s professional hydraulic base rises smoothly and lowers with control via foot pedal, so you can dial working height mid-section without breaking cadence. The round steel platform spreads weight evenly for a wobble-free feel—confidence you’ll notice the first time you outline a fringe or polish a hard part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands-free lift\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps your posture neutral and your hands on the work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanted base\u003c\/strong\u003e protects floor finishes and resists rocking during razor or clipper detailing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffortless swivel\u003c\/strong\u003e streamlines mirror checks and those all-important after photos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOperator access from every angle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat equipment disappears so technique can shine.
