Shampoo Bowls & Backwash Basins for Salons and Barbershops

Welcome to Nova, the factory-direct manufacturer of premium salon equipment. This page is dedicated to shampoo bowls — the basin at the heart of every backwash station, and often the first piece of equipment a client touches. Whether you run a high-volume barbershop, a boutique hair studio, or a luxury head-spa center, our range of shampoo bowls, shampoo basins, and portable shampoo sinks is built to make hair washing faster for your team and more comfortable for your clients. As a CE-certified factory offering DDP shipping worldwide, we deliver commercial-grade backwash equipment at wholesale prices — straight from our production line to your door.

Every Nova shampoo bowl is built on the same foundation of rigorous engineering as our shampoo beds and backwash chairs: seamless basin surfaces that are easy to sanitize, corrosion-resistant frames, ergonomic neck rests, and — for salons without plumbing access — self-contained water-tank and pump systems. With a 1-year warranty and a MOQ of just 1 unit, upgrading your washing stations carries no inventory risk. Explore the bowl types and featured products below, then reach out for a factory-direct quote.

Why Choose a Nova Shampoo Bowl?

When you choose Nova, you buy from the manufacturer, not an importer. That is why salon owners across the US, Europe, and the Middle East trust us for their backwash stations:

  • Factory-Direct Pricing: No retail markups — you pay wholesale prices because you buy straight from the source.
  • OEM/ODM Capabilities: Custom colors, logos, bowl shapes, and dimensions to match your salon identity.
  • MOQ 1 Unit: Need a single portable shampoo bowl to test a new station? We welcome sample orders.
  • DDP Shipping Worldwide: We handle logistics, customs clearance, and duties — no hidden fees at delivery.
  • CE Certified: All electric models are CE certified, with 110V US-standard and 220V configurations available.
  • 1-Year Warranty: Every shampoo bowl and basin includes a 1-year warranty covering frame, motors, and fittings.

Types of Shampoo Bowls, Basins & Sinks

Nova’s shampoo bowl family covers every installation scenario. Classic plumbed shampoo bowls mount to the wall above a backwash chair and connect to your salon’s water supply and floor drain. For rented or historic spaces where plumbing is not an option, portable and no-plumbing designs carry their own water supply. The main configurations we offer:

  • Portable shampoo bowl with water tank: Self-contained units that heat and circulate their own supply — fill the tank, plug in, and wash. Ideal for mobile stylists and pop-up stations.
  • No-plumbing shampoo basin / sink: Basin-style sinks — including the portable shampoo basin — with built-in tanks and pumps for salons without floor drains.
  • Deep shampoo basin: Extra-depth bowls favored in Japanese head-spa and Thai hair-washing rituals for full scalp immersion.
  • Shampoo sink with steam or fumigation: Upgraded portable sinks adding steam or fumigation for head-therapy services.
  • Electric-pump portable units: Bowl-and-bucket systems with an electric pump, so dirty water is handled without a drain connection.

Whatever your layout, there is a matching basin — and our shampoo bed and shampoo chair collections complete the station around it.

Design, Materials & Craftsmanship

Nova bowls are available in high-gloss ceramic, durable acrylic, and stainless-steel finishes so you can match your interior and budget. Acrylic basins are thermoformed from a single sheet to avoid seams and leaks, while ceramic bowls offer a classic, easy-to-clean look that resists staining and chipping. Frames are built from powder-coated steel with rust-resistant finishes for humid salon environments, and neck-rest contours are shaped to keep the client’s head supported during long washes. Electric and pump-fed models use low-noise motors so the bowl area stays calm — the small details that make a shampoo bowl feel like part of a professional ritual rather than a utility.

Customization: OEM & ODM Services

As a factory-direct manufacturer, Nova can produce a shampoo basin that is uniquely yours. Our OEM/ODM services cover custom upholstery colors, branded logos, modified bowl depth and width, and even completely new basin designs developed from your sketches or CAD files. For standard models the MOQ is just 1 unit, so you can test a customized prototype before committing; fully custom ODM projects carry an MOQ of 10 units with a production time of 10-15 days after sample approval. All custom work keeps the same 1-year warranty and DDP shipping terms.

Plumbed, Portable or No-Plumbing: Which Is Right for You?

If your salon has standard plumbing at every station, a fixed plumbed shampoo bowl is the lowest-maintenance choice. If you rent your space, move between locations, or simply want flexibility, a portable shampoo bowl with a water tank or an electric-pump unit removes the drain requirement entirely — the same logic that drives the growing demand for no-plumbing shampoo stations in urban salons. Our portable shampoo bowl buyers guide walks through tank sizes, heating, and waste handling in detail, while the shampoo bowl & chair combinations guide helps you pair a basin with the right chair for your workflow. For faucet and water-delivery upgrades, see our shampoo bowl faucets guide.

Whether you need a single no plumbing shampoo bowl for a back room or a portable shampoo bowl no plumbing for mobile work, the same rule applies: match the unit to your water access. A shampoo bowl without plumbing — often searched simply as shampoo bowl no plumbing — runs from tank-fed portables up to an electric shampoo bowl no plumbing with a small pump, and every plumbless shampoo bowl Nova ships is bench-tested for leaks before packing. For layouts without a fixed basin, a portable sink for beauty salon work can double as a barber sink station, while a portable hair washing sink with water tank brings heated water to any room that has a power outlet. Prefer a fixed setup? A wall mounted salon sink frees the floor, and when you add a salon chair with sink you create a complete station — finish it with a ceramic shampoo bowl that resists staining and chipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a shampoo bowl, a shampoo basin, and a shampoo sink?

The terms are largely interchangeable in the salon industry — all three describe the bowl where hair is washed over a backwash chair. In Nova’s catalog, “shampoo bowl” and “shampoo basin” usually refer to the basin itself (wall-mounted or portable), while “shampoo sink” often describes a self-contained unit with its own water tank and pump. Compare the water supply, drain setup, and neck-rest fit rather than the label.

2. Can I get a portable shampoo bowl that works without plumbing?

Yes. Our portable shampoo bowl with water tank and electric-pump units are designed for spaces without plumbing. Tank models store and heat their own water supply; pump units circulate water and handle waste through a 2-bucket setup. This makes them ideal for rented salons, mobile stylists, and pop-up head-spa services.

3. What materials are Nova shampoo bowls made from?

Our range includes high-gloss ceramic, durable acrylic, and stainless-steel basins. Acrylic bowls are thermoformed from a single sheet so there are no seams to leak, ceramic bowls resist staining and chipping, and stainless steel suits heavy commercial use. Material choice affects look, weight, and price — our sales team can recommend the best fit for your station.

4. Do shampoo bowls come with faucets and mixers?

Faucet requirements depend on the model: wall-mounted bowls typically pair with a separate faucet or mixer, while portable tank units include their own water delivery system. If you are upgrading an existing bowl, see our shampoo bowl faucets guide for the types, materials, and price ranges available.

5. What is the MOQ, and can I order one unit to test first?

Our MOQ is 1 unit for all standard shampoo bowls and basins. We encourage sample orders so you can inspect the build quality and neck-rest comfort firsthand. Sample costs are deducted from your first bulk invoice, and production takes 10-15 days for a single unit.

6. How does DDP shipping work?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means we handle shipping logistics, export and import customs clearance, and all duties and taxes. The price you see is the final price — no surprise charges at delivery. A single shampoo bowl typically ships to the US mainland in 7-15 business days by sea or 3-5 days by air, with a tracking number provided once your order ships.
