What type of chairs are typically smaller in design and do not usually have a headrest?

1. Barber chairs

2. Styling chairs

3. Pedicure chairs

4. Salon lounge chairs

The correct answer is: Styling chairs

Styling chairs are designed to be smaller and more flexible than other types of chairs found in a salon. Their compact and lightweight nature allows for easier movement and arrangement, making them suitable for various styling tasks. Styling chairs often lack a headrest because they are used primarily for cutting and styling hair at multiple angles. The absence of a headrest contributes to their versatility, allowing clients to adjust their position easily as needed during different services. This design supports the dynamic activities performed during hairstyling, aligning with the fast-paced environment of a salon. Additionally, the height adjustment feature in styling chairs ensures that hair professionals can work comfortably while accommodating clients of different heights.
