Maxi All-Purpose Chair by Collins

Meet the chair that grows with your guest. Maxi’s telescoping, width-adjustable arm design opens to create real shoulder room for broader builds, then returns to a standard posture for everyday services—so every client feels supported without your floor plan feeling crowded. Add a heavy-duty hydraulic base, a calm, generously padded seat, and smooth, lever-controlled recline, and you’ve got a workhorse that pairs big-hearted comfort with the speed pros need on a fully booked day.

Designed for salons, barbers, and beauty bars that measure equipment by outcomes—steadier heads, fewer interruptions, faster resets—Maxi delivers inclusive comfort, planted stability, and quick-clean materials that keep your team on time and your brand looking intentional in photos and in person.

Adaptive comfort by design

Most chairs are built for “average.” Maxi is built for everybody. The adjustable, telescoping arm system lets you widen the arm position when you need it—no squeezing, no awkward perching, no compromises to the service. That calmer, more natural posture keeps the head centered for precision scissor and clipper work and reduces fidgeting during long color processes, beard detailing, or brow mapping.

• Telescoping arms expand and return smoothly to suit the client in the chair, not a fixed measurement on paper.
• Plush, supportive cushions distribute pressure evenly so guests settle quickly and stay cooperative.
• Lever-reclining back pivots from upright consult to service tilt in seconds for grooming and beauty steps.

Stability and hydraulic performance you can trust

When the book is full, micro-adjustments can’t interrupt your rhythm. Maxi’s foot-operated hydraulic system provides a predictable rise and controlled descent, letting you fine-tune working height mid-section without breaking flow. The planted round base spreads weight evenly for that wobble-free feel clients trust—and that pros demand for tight fades, scissor-over-comb work, and immaculate finish passes.

• Heavy-duty base anchors the chair for confident precision around the hairline and beard line.
• Hands-free lift protects shoulders and wrists while you maintain consistent shear angles.
• Grounding tubular footrest gives the guest a stable anchor point that reduces head drift.

Inclusive fit, compact footprint

Square footage is revenue, and Maxi respects it. The chair creates space for the client inside the arms, not outside them, so you preserve aisle width and ADA pathways while delivering the shoulder room that makes bigger guests feel genuinely welcome. The clean, rounded base nests neatly for education days and content shoots and avoids corners where clippings and color collect.

• Space-smart geometry keeps traffic lanes open for carts and assistants.
• Visual lightness helps small rooms read larger and more premium in photos and on booking pages.

Workflow advantages your team will feel

Equipment earns its keep when it removes friction. Maxi calms the guest, clears operator access around the crown and nape, and keeps height control under your foot—so the service cadence stays smooth. Over a week of appointments, those subtle improvements add up to on-time finishes and a little extra breath between bookings.

• Faster setups—tap the pedal, set height, and start.
• Fewer interruptions—adjust arms wider for comfort; recline for detailing; keep momentum.
• Shorter resets—wipe down, sweep, and seat the next guest in less time.

Versatility across your entire menu

One chair that confidently crosses service categories is the simplest way to protect ROI. Maxi moves seamlessly from cut and color to grooming and beauty services—no seat swaps, no lost minutes, no broken flow.

• Salon: wet/dry cutting, layering, fringe detail, blow-dry finishing.
• Color: root retouch, foils, balayage placements with clear access at crown and nape.
• Barber/Grooming: beard shaping, lineups, neckline clean-up using a gentle service tilt.
• Beauty: makeup application, brow mapping and tinting, lash lifts and threading.
• Spa: chair-side consultations and post-treatment styling touchups.

Sanitation and durability—built for real salon life

Strict hygiene and back-to-back bookings can absolutely coexist. Maxi’s upholstery and simplified seam map are selected for quick wipe-downs and resistance to professional disinfectants (used as directed). Molded urethane arm caps shrug off frequent cleaning and daily touchpoints, while polished metalwork maintains a showroom shine with routine care.

• Easy-clean surfaces help you turn the station faster without compromising standards.
• Minimal seam layout leaves fewer catch points for clippings, powders, and product residue.
• Durable materials hold structure and appearance under heavy commercial use.

Operator ergonomics and access

Great gear disappears so technique can take center stage. The telescoping arm design supports the guest’s forearms without boxing in the stylist’s elbows, so movement stays fluid and your line of sight remains consistent. Combine that with predictable hydraulics and you’ve got a chair that protects body mechanics over long shifts.

• Open elbow area for quick transitions around the head during sectioning and detail passes.
• Repeatable height changes maintain neutral shoulders and wrist angles all day.

Configuration options & compatibility

Maxi is ready to slot into your preferred Collins ecosystem. Choose the foot-operated hydraulic model that matches your stations or go electric if your workflow calls for powered motion. And if you’re refreshing floors, pair Maxi with Collins Comfort Zone anti-fatigue mats to keep staff energy higher through long Saturdays.

• Hydraulic choices: Models 3500, 4500, 5550 (foot-operated).
• Additional options: Models 3250, 4250, 5250 foot-operated pumps; BKB Electric Base.
• Compatibility: Collins all-purpose and shampoo chair back reclining mechanisms.

Brand elevation—quiet, modern, intentional

Maxi’s silhouette reads premium without shouting. The clean, upright back and squared cushions look tailored in photos, creating a cohesive visual language across a row of stations—or across multiple locations. Standardizing on Maxi keeps controls familiar for staff, simplifies training, and protects your brand’s consistency from reception to back bar.

Care tips that extend service life

Protect your investment with quick routines that pay off over time. Promptly wipe colorants, developers, oils, and cosmetics; use pro-grade cleaners compatible with salon upholstery (avoid harsh solvents); keep the base ring clear of clippings for a smooth pedal stroke; and check arm and footrest fasteners on a routine schedule to preserve that planted, solid feel clients trust.

• After each guest: sanitize touchpoints; wipe arms, seat, back, base, and footrest.
• Weekly: inspect hardware and confirm hydraulic action is even and quiet.
• Monthly: refresh polished metal and review floor glides for a showroom look.

Who Maxi is perfect for

If your goals include inclusive comfort, tight turnarounds, and a clean, modern aesthetic, Maxi is an easy yes. It’s ideal for growth-minded salons that want to welcome every body with confidence, barbers who need planted stability for exacting line work, beauty bars that blend hair and makeup in one room, and academies that require durable, intuitive equipment for daily training.
