Planning a Salon & Barbershop Move

Salon furniture looks light and is not. A hydraulic styling or barber chair carries its weight in the pump base, and many bases are bolted to the floor through a mounting plate. Backwash units and shampoo bowls sit on hot and cold supply and a drain, so a plumber takes them out and a plumber sets them again. Everything between those two jobs is ours: chairs once they are unbolted, styling stations and consoles, rolling carts, hood dryers, the reception desk, waiting seating, and the retail wall.

Many shops also have booth renters whose chairs, carts, and tools are their own property. Before packing, the owner lists which pieces belong to the salon and which belong to each renter, and we tag them that way, so every stylist finds their own station and kit at the new address. The color bar needs its own plan. Opened color, developer, and aerosols stay with your staff, while sealed retail product can be boxed by shelf and moved with the fixtures.

Who usually signs off
Salon or barbershop owner, with the floor manager confirming chair assignments and the opening schedule
Timing that works
After the last booked appointment, around the plumber's two visits for the backwash bowls, with a day to set stations before the first client.

What typically moves

  • Hydraulic styling and barber chairs Unbolted from their base plates, padded, and moved on dollies. Base plates and bolts are bagged to each chair.
  • Styling stations and freestanding consoles Drawers emptied by each stylist, then tagged to a numbered station on the new floor plan.
  • Rolling carts and tool trolleys Tagged to their owner, salon or booth renter, and moved with drawers taped shut.
  • Hood dryers and dryer chairs Hoods are padded and ride upright on their stands or boxed separately where they detach.
  • Reception desk and waiting seating Modular desk sections are labeled and rebuilt. The front-desk computer and receipt printer are reconnected by our crew.
  • Retail wall shelving and sealed product Product boxed by shelf, shelves and brackets bagged to each unit.

Access and scheduling

Most salons move between the last appointment of one day and the first of the next opening day, often across a Sunday and Monday when many shops are closed. The plumber's two visits are the fixed points: one to take out the bowls, one to set them at the new shop once the rough plumbing is ready. Chairs and stations can go in before the bowls, so stylists can set up while the plumber finishes.

Storefronts in Old Colorado City and downtown often load from the street, while suites in Briargate and along the Powers corridor usually open at the back onto a lot the whole center uses. Many landlords want our Certificate of Insurance before they hand over keys, so request it when you sign. Then measure the new front door against the longest reception desk section.

Protection and handling

Chair upholstery tears at the seams and chrome scratches at the base, so each chair is wrapped and carried by the base, never by the arms or back. Station mirrors that travel with the salon ride in cartons or padded, upright. Mirrors mounted to the wall stay with the landlord or the fixture installer.

Stylists pack their own shears, razors, and clippers, and each kit is tagged with their name and station. Disinfectant jars, opened color, and developer are emptied or sealed and carried by staff, not packed in our cartons. On arrival, the owner confirms station numbers against the floor plan before anything is fastened down; resetting a chair base to the floor is done by the salon's installer or handyman.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Shampoo bowls and backwash units
A licensed plumber disconnects them from water and drain, caps the lines, and sets and checks them at the new address.
Wall-mounted mirrors, station lighting, and signage
The fixture installer or an electrician removes and remounts anything fastened or wired to the building.
Booking software and payment terminals
Your booking and payment providers set up accounts and devices. Our crew moves the front-desk computer and printer.

Not part of our work

  • Disconnecting or reconnecting water lines, drains, or hard-wired lights.
  • Packing opened color, developer, aerosols, or stylists' sharps.
  • Bolting chair bases to the new floor.

Around Colorado Springs and El Paso County

Colorado Springs salons and barbershops occupy narrow storefronts downtown and in Old Colorado City, neighborhood retail suites in Briargate and InterQuest, and shared centers along the Powers corridor. Door width and the distance from the truck to the backwash wall change how chairs and the reception desk come in.

Salon & Barbershop Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (719) 357-5865.

Can the styling chairs go in before the backwash area is ready?

Yes, and it usually helps. Chairs and stations can be set on their marks while the plumber finishes the rough-in and sets the bowls, so stylists can stock their stations. Keep a clear path to the shampoo area so the plumber is not working around carts.

How do we keep booth renters' chairs and tools separate from the salon's?

List who owns what before moving day, and we tag every chair, cart, and kit with its owner's name and new station number. Renters' tools stay in their own labeled boxes, and nothing is mixed with salon stock or retail product.

Who decides whether the shampoo bowls travel to the new shop?

You and your plumber. Some owners reuse their bowls and chairs, others buy new ones for the new layout. If they travel, the plumber disconnects and caps them first and we move them padded and upright. If they stay, the lease decides what happens next.

Are hydraulic chairs too heavy to move without taking them apart?

They are heavy but move whole once they are unbolted from the floor. The weight is in the base, so the crew carries them by the base on dollies with the seat wrapped. Taking the pump apart is a job for the chair's service technician, not a mover.
