Buying Barber shop or Beauty Salon equipment is serious business. This is our livelihood and none of us can afford to be throwing money away. This is where Mr. B's comes in.
Everyone in the position of purchasing a large order of equipment should do themselves a favor and call Mr.B's first to get educated about the purchase they are going to make. Alan has been in the business for 40 years and their family longer than that. They know the business and products available to us as well as anyone in the US. They won't pressure you but will try to inform you of the best way to spend your money sensibly. We can't all afford the $3000 chairs. But they can direct you to the chairs that have done well in shops around the nation that sell for prices from $600 to $1000 that will serve you well.
There's plenty of chairs that sell for $350 to $550, but they won't last you much more than a year with any serious amount of traffic. Believe me, I've been there and lost money as a result.
In 27 years as a professional Barber I've purchased Barber shop chairs on 5 different occasions and am preparing to invest again in the coming months. I made bad purchases on 3 of the 5 occasions, then I contacted Mr. B. After having a set of 5 chairs last only 1 year in the shop, I was glad to take his advice on a chair that was working for other barbers and seemed to be lasting 5 or 6 years. They worked great for me for 5 plus years with extremely heavy traffic of beef eating Nebraskans and large men, so I couldn't have been happier.
After around 2 years one of the pumps went out and in a matter of weeks there was a package with a replacement at my door. When you order your stuff from somebody you've never heard of in Asia via EBay or Amazon, you'll never have that happen. You'll likely never be able to even contact someone to complain...
They know their stuff. They're easy to work with. They're not out to rob us. And they'll likely match any price for a similar product out there. As a professional in this industry looking for quality equipment at fair prices, you can't beat Mr.B's. read more
