agree  ormiston: hair treatments might be broader, covering anything done at the wasbasin - i.e. not cutting or drying seated in front of the mirror

  -> thanks ormiston, IMO "hair treatments" can be carried out in front of the mirror however, whereas with conditioning you're pretty sure it will always be where the shampooing takes place.

wet station (area)


Explanation:
amazing what intriguing in-house jargon you can find. Apparently salons split into 'styling stations' and 'wet stationd'. I just hope my suggestion is self 'explanatory to the end reader (i.e. = the place where you sit with your head tilted back into that 'bac'!)

"Hair salon furniture is a large investment, and hair salon styling stations often take up a large part of our client's budgets. Beauty Salon Equipment provides quality discounted salon furniture reflecting current colors and designs, as well as premium functionality that satisfy stylist and client needs. Once the perfect hair salon styling stations have been chosen, we can recommend all coordinating pieces such as retail display units, salon wet station units, wholesale styling chairs, manicure pedicure equipment, salon hood hair dryers-all the furniture professional hair salon equipment you need to project a trendy and up to date, yet classic and timeless look.
