Every stylist sooner or later faces a dilemma: Which eyelash extension bed should I choose? Which eyelash lift beds are best? To answer these and other questions that may arise when choosing the right eyelash styling bed, I've prepared a brief overview of the available beds, their pros and cons.
Before I get into specifics, I'd like you to remember one crucial thing: choose a bed that meets your needs and those of your clients. Asking yourself a few key questions can help you make the right choice:
Do you only work stationary or mobile?
Do you have plenty of space in your office? What's your budget?
What treatments will you perform?
If you're just starting out, you might not want to invest too much at the beginning, but rather choose something that will allow you to spread your wings, see if this industry is for you, and then use the remaining amount to buy, for example, a cosmetic lamp or eyelash styling cushions .
If you're short on funds to get started, here 's a post about available financing methods for your eyelash salon!
But let's get to the point! Here are the beds available on the market that are worth considering! They are as follows:
Classic beauty chair
For years, it has been the most frequently chosen method by professional beauticians - but will it really work in an eyelash extension salon?
During styling or eyelash lifting treatments, the stylist must have tools and accessories readily available, so when choosing a lounger, it's important to consider whether the model offers such a space. Beauty chairs often only have a headrest for the client's head, lacking space for armrests, not to mention a pillow or organizer.
+ looks good
+ convenient for your client
+ is stable
- uncomfortable for the stylist (no armrest)
- lack of space for the necessary equipment
- takes up a permanent place
- it is difficult to transport
- high price
Electric beauty bed
Stationary electric beds are becoming increasingly common in offices because they're convenient to use and have the ability to store settings. They have the same advantages and disadvantages as fixed beds. You can also consider a heated and very comfortable spa bed/lounge, but prices start at several thousand złoty.
+ can be heated
+ can be adjusted, can remember settings
+ convenient for your client
+ looks good
+ is stable
- takes up a permanent place
- they are difficult to transport
- high price
Cosmetic couch
This is a bed that usually only has the option of lying flat - so if you mainly perform treatments during which clients have to lie down (such as permanent makeup, styling or eyelash lifting, eyebrow lamination), this is a very good option for you.
Cosmetic loungers most often come in two varieties: foldable and non-foldable. Below is a brief description of each variant.
Non-folding cosmetic couch
A non-folding bed certainly looks elegant, looks good in an office, and is stable. However, you have to take into account that it will take up a lot of space and is quite heavy. It will definitely work well if you have a large office and don't need to transport it. You can find beds at various prices, but I wouldn't choose suspiciously cheap offers or very expensive beds - for the reasons I just mentioned ;). It's worth considering buying a used bed from a reputable company, then there's
+ looks good
+ convenient for your client
+ is stable
- takes up a permanent place
- they are difficult to transport
- it's heavier.
Folding cosmetic couch
Definitely essential if you're transporting a bed! A folding daybed, if of good quality, offers the same benefits as a stationary bed, but is less expensive and more portable. However, you should remember that the bed should have thick foam and be easy to fold and unfold, so you can handle it yourself.
+ best value for money
+ mobility!
+ takes up little space
+ it is light
If you care about your clients' comfort, I recommend purchasing a mattress that will allow you to turn your folding bed into an exclusive lounger!

Summary
Choosing a bed is much easier if we carefully consider our needs. For stylists who work in-person, a non-foldable bed is a good choice; its quality is crucial, of course. However, a foldable bed is equally good and the most versatile. Because you never know when you'll be offered a treatment at a client's home!
Also, remember that at any moment you could be invited to a training session or demonstration somewhere outside your office – this makes mobility even more important, as is the ease of transporting and setting up the bed without needing assistance. Of course, we can usually count on the help of a gentleman at the demonstration, but why add to the stress before the procedure? It's better to be confident in your equipment and handle it quickly and efficiently. Then, just focus on a perfect demonstration.
