Beauty Bed Types: Choosing the Right Bed for Your Services
Different beauty services require different bed features. A waxing bed has different requirements than a facial bed or a massage table. This guide matches the right bed type to your specific service menu.
Facial Beds
A dedicated facial bed features a narrower profile, adjustable face cradle, and armrests for client comfort during extended face-up treatments. Look for models with face cradle cutouts that accommodate different face shapes and breathing positions.
Waxing Beds
Waxing requires a bed with a wide, sturdy platform and a waterproof, easy-to-clean surface. A waxing bed should have disposable sheet compatibility and a surface that resists wax residue. Electric height adjustment is particularly useful for waxing—technicians need to adjust bed height frequently for different body areas.
Massage Beds
For massage therapists, thick high-density foam padding (3-4 inches) is essential. A massage bed should have a comfortable face cradle and sufficient width for larger clients. Face-down comfort is the priority.
PMU & Lash Beds
Permanent makeup and lash extension beds need precise positioning and excellent stability. A zero-vibration electric bed with memory position settings saves time between clients. The bed should adjust low enough for the practitioner to work comfortably while seated.
Multi-Purpose Beds
For salons offering multiple services, a versatile beauty salon bed with electric adjustment, removable face cradle, and wide platform can serve all purposes. Nova’s multi-purpose models include quick-change features that switch between facial and massage configurations in seconds.
