Hackney Unisex All-Purpose Chair by Collins

Old-school barbershop attitude meets modern salon versatility. The Hackney Unisex All-Purpose Chair brings a handsome, quilted silhouette to your floor, then backs it up with smooth dual-side reclining, a heavy-duty hydraulic base, and a stay-put rubber-tread footrest that keeps clients grounded. From skin fades and hot-towel shaves to blowouts, color, and finishing work, Hackney helps you move faster, finish cleaner, and keep your brand looking premium in every photo.

Built for professionals who judge equipment by outcomes—not just looks—this chair delivers steadier heads, faster setups, and a planted, wobble-free feel that inspires confidence on the busiest days.

Why pros choose Hackney to anchor their stations

Every detail of Hackney is engineered to remove friction where it counts most: when the client takes a seat and you start working. The custom quilted upholstery calms fidgeting with supportive structure, the reclining back releases from either side to match the way you work, and the oversized 26" baseplate keeps the chair rock-solid during precision passes. The result? Quicker consultations, cleaner technique, and on-time finishes—service after service.

• Dual-side reclining release supports left- or right-handed pros and tight station layouts.
• Gas-cylinder controlled back reclines smoothly and returns with control—ideal for shaves, beard work, brow services, or rinse-free treatments.
• 26" diameter baseplate and heavy-duty hydraulic pump provide planted stability for razor detailing and scissor-over-comb.
• Rubber-tread tubular footrest gives guests a confident perch and reduces slips when stepping in or out.

Comfort that keeps clients centered (and saves minutes)

Comfort is a productivity tool. Hackney’s firm-yet-forgiving quilting distributes pressure evenly so clients relax into neutral alignment instead of sliding forward or shifting side to side. That centered posture reduces head drift and micro-corrections—especially noticeable during beard shaping, hairline detailing, foil placement, or bang trims.

• Seat depth: 19" supports a balanced sit through longer services.
• Back height: 35" stabilizes the upper back while leaving shoulders open for cutting and color.
• Height to top of seat: 20.75" offers a practical baseline for a wide range of pro heights.

Unisex styling that elevates every room

The Hackney looks at home in both a refined salon and a heritage barbershop. Its squared profile, crisp quilting, and tailored arm pads create a luxurious, camera-ready presence without visual bulk. The design reads premium from every angle—exactly what you want in booking galleries, Google listings, and social content.

• Custom quilted upholstery holds its structure for that “new chair” look months into daily use.
• Streamlined frame brightens the station and keeps the focus on your work.
• Optional upgrades: adjustable/removable headrest for barbering & spa tasks; cast aluminum Barber Logo footrest for a signature look.

Hydraulic performance that protects your pace

When the book is stacked, adjustments can’t slow you down. Hackney’s professional hydraulic system delivers a smooth rise and controlled descent via foot pedal, so you can fine-tune height mid-section without breaking rhythm. The oversized base spreads weight evenly to eliminate wobble—confidence you’ll feel the first time you outline a beard or polish a hard part.

• Foot-operated hydraulic lift keeps your posture neutral and your hands on task.
• Stable, round platform resists rocking and protects floor finishes with a protective base ring.
• Effortless swivel streamlines mirror checks and before/after photos.

Operator access from every angle

Great equipment disappears, letting technique take center stage. Hackney’s arm design opens elbow room at the crown and nape, while the compact overall depth protects aisle flow. Inside the arms, there’s real space for clients wearing layers or capes—essential when your schedule is tight and comfort drives retention.

• Width between arms: 20.75"—welcoming without wasting square footage.
• Width outside arms: 27.62"—substantial presence that still fits multi-chair rows.
• Overall depth: 32"—space-smart for suites, academies, and high-density layouts.

Recline: the daily advantage you’ll actually use

From classic hot-towel shaves to brow mapping and express treatments, the gas-cylinder back makes precision work easier. A smooth, controlled motion helps guests feel secure and allows you to set angles perfectly for neckline cleanup, facial services, or detailed clipper work. The concealed mechanism keeps the profile clean and prevents hair and product from catching during sanitation.

• Releases from either side so you can set up tools and traffic flow exactly how you like.
• Optional headrest (adjustable and removable) extends use cases to straight-razor shaves and spa add-ons.
• Concealed hardware preserves a clean look and speeds wipe-downs.

Sanitation and durability—ready for real shop life

Daily disinfection and constant touchpoints are the reality. Hackney’s finish choices and simplified seam map make cleanup fast and thorough. The rubber-tread footrest shrugs off water and disinfectants, the quilting wipes down quickly, and polished metalwork keeps its shine with routine care—so your stations stay photo-ready from open to close.

• Easy-clean upholstery compatible with professional sanitizers (used as directed).
• Minimal catch points reduce buildup of clippings, powders, and product residue.
• Rugged hardware maintains alignment and motion quality under heavy daily use.

Versatility across your full menu

Protect ROI by keeping clients in one seat from consult to finish. Hackney transitions seamlessly between categories so you can maintain momentum and elevate the guest experience without equipment swaps.

• Barbering: fades, lineups, hot-towel shaves (with optional headrest), beard shaping, and neckline cleanup.
• Salon: wet/dry cutting, precision layering, fringe detail, blow-dry finish.
• Color: root retouch, foils, toners, and balayage with clean crown/nape access.
• Beauty: makeup, brow mapping/tinting, lash lifts and threading.
• Education: intuitive controls and planted stability ideal for academies and test floors.

Operational payoff you can measure

Great equipment quietly pays you back in saved minutes and calmer Saturdays. With Hackney, seating is secure and predictable (rubber-tread footrest), height changes are immediate (hydraulic lift), and recline is accessible from either side (no station re-arranging). Over weeks and months those micro-efficiencies become extra bookings and happier teams.

• Faster setups—seat, set height, and start without breaking flow.
• Fewer interruptions—supportive quilting keeps heads centered for crisp passes.
• Shorter resets—wipe, sweep, and seat the next guest on schedule.
