Extensive adjustment options for various services
The Gabbiano Francesco can be adapted to a wide range of treatments.The hairdresser can change the height, tilt the backrest, adjust the footrest, and extend the headrest.
This allows the client to be positioned both upright and in a comfortable semi-reclining position.
The various settings are practical during work around:
- the top of the head;
- the sides and contours;
- the nape;
- the beard line;
- the cheeks and jawline;
- the chin and neck;
- the mustache and facial contours.
A well-adjusted chair position can improve access to the treatment area and helps the professional limit unnecessary bending and reaching.
Comfort during longer cutting and shaving treatments
The wide seat is filled with deformation-resistant foam.This provides the client with a comfortable and supportive seating surface.
The backrest supports the back and helps maintain a stable posture.This is especially important during longer appointments where multiple treatments are combined.
The armrests provide a fixed position for the arms and help keep the shoulders relaxed.The extendable headrest supports the head and neck when the backrest is reclined.
This makes the chair suitable for appointments involving a consecutive cutting, shaving, styling, and beard work.
Hydraulic height adjustment from 54 to 67 cm
The chair is equipped with a durable hydraulic lift with which the seat height can be adjusted from 54 to 67 cm.
The 13 cm adjustment zone makes it possible to tailor the position to the height of the client, the barber, and the treatment being performed.
The height can also be adjusted while the client is already seated in the chair.This ensures the treatment does not have to be interrupted when a higher or lower position is required for a different work phase.
A lower setting can make sitting down and standing up easier.A higher position can be practical for precise work around the neck, ears, and beard line.
Adjusting working height to suit client and barber
Clients and professionals vary in height.A fixed seat height is therefore not equally practical for every appointment.
The hydraulic lift helps adjust the chair to:
- the height of the client;
- the height of the barber;
- working from a standing position;
- working from a barber stool;
- the type of treatment;
- the zone being worked on.
The correct working height supports precise work with scissors, comb, clippers, and shaving tools.
Adjustment without the client having to stand up
The hydraulic controls can be used while the client is seated in the chair.
The barber can, for example, raise the chair to finish the neck and then lower it to reach the top of the hairstyle more easily.
This supports a smoother workflow and prevents the client from having to stand up repeatedly during the same appointment.
Perform each height adjustment slowly and then check that the chair is stable before resuming precise work.
Hydraulic operation without power connection
The height adjustment works hydraulically and does not require an electrical connection for this function.
This eliminates the need to route a power cable around the wide round base, keeping the workspace tidy.
Check the hydraulic lift regularly.Do not use the chair if the height drops unexpectedly, the controls jam, or a part is visibly damaged.
Tilting backrest for a semi-reclining position
The backrest can be tilted backward to place the client in a comfortable semi-reclining position
This setting can improve access during work on the face, beard, jawline, and neck.
The reclining position is practical for, among other things:
- classic shaving treatments;
- beard contouring;
- grooming of the beard and facial skin;
- finishing of mustache and jawline;
- precise work around the neck;
- other barber services where an upright position is less practical.
Gently tilt the backrest and check if the customer remains seated comfortably and stably.
Adjustable footrest for leg support
The footrest can be adjusted to the selected chair position.
When the backrest is tilted backward, the footrest helps to support the legs stably and comfortably.
The combination of backrest and footrest allows for various settings, including:
- an upright sitting position;
- a slightly reclined posture;
- a semi-reclining position for beard care;
- a comfortable position for shaving treatments.
Before treatment, check that the footrest is firmly in the selected position.
Extendable headrest
The Gabbiano Francesco features a extendable headrest.
This allows the support to be adjusted to the client's height and chosen position.
The headrest helps to stably support the head and neck when the backrest is upright or reclined.
This is particularly practical for taller clients and during treatments where the client remains seated for extended periods.
Individual adjustment before every treatment
The chair can be readjusted for each client.
Practical preparation may consist of:
- Bring the chair to an accessible entry height.
- Have the client sit in the middle of the seat.
- Check the position of the back and arms.
- Adjust the headrest to the correct length.
- Adjust the seat height to suit the treatment.
- Adjust the backrest and footrest when necessary.
- Check that all components remain stable in the selected position.
The optimal setting depends on the client's height, the service provided, and the professional's working posture.
Wide seat with shape-retaining foam padding
The chair features a wide seat with deformation-resistant foam padding.
The spacious seat helps the client remain comfortably seated in the center of the chair.
The padding supports body weight and helps maintain its shape during regular professional use.
This is especially important for intensive use in a barbershop where different clients sit in the same chair throughout the day.
Backrest with comfortable support
The backrest is upholstered in synthetic leather and supports the client's back.
The shape helps maintain a comfortable and stable posture, even during longer treatments.
A relaxed sitting position makes it easier for the barber to accurately assess the shape, symmetry, and contours of the hairstyle.
Additionally, the backrest can be tilted when a more reclined position is required.
Upholstered armrests for a natural shoulder position
The armrests are upholstered and positioned at a practical height.
This allows the arms to rest comfortably and reduces the need to actively hold the shoulders up.
A correct arm position helps prevent the client from:
- raising the shoulders sharply;
- letting the head drop between the shoulders;
- leaning forward;
- constantly changing body posture.
A more stable position can facilitate precise work around the head, neck, and beard.
Fully rotatable mechanism
The Gabbiano Francesco is equipped with a fully rotatable mechanism.
The professional can turn the client to a different direction without moving the entire base across the floor.
The swivel function can be used to:
- improve access to the left and right sides;
- turn the client to a different mirror position;
- position the chair relative to the lighting;
- check the hairstyle from different angles;
- use the available workspace more efficiently;
- work around a fixed trolley or work table.
Turn the chair slowly and check before precise work whether the selected position remains stable.
Wide round base for stable support
The chair stands on a solid and wide round base.
The construction supports stability during normal professional use, turning, and adjusting the chair.
Always place the barber chair on a flat, dry, and firm floor.
Keep the area around the base free of:
- electrical cables;
- bags and personal belongings;
- towels and barber capes;
- loose hair;
- trolley wheels;
- other objects that may interfere with operation.
Before every workday, check that the chair does not wobble and that the base stands stably on the floor.
Characteristic old-school design
The Gabbiano Francesco distinguishes itself through a pronounced vintage and old-school design.
The graphite-colored upholstery, decorative buttons, striking button tufting, and motorcycle-inspired details give the chair a recognizable character.
The design fits well in barbershops with:
- industrial furnishings;
- dark wooden furniture;
- black metal workstations;
- retro mirrors and lighting;
- vintage accessories;
- motorcycle or workshop-inspired decoration;
- classic barber details.
The chair can be used as the central piece of furniture for the hairdressing station and immediately gives the professional space a distinct character of its own.
Graphite-colored upholstery with original button tufting
The upholstery is executed in graphite tones and finished with original stitching, button tufting, and decorative buttons.
The dark color gives the chair a robust, professional, and timeless look.
Graphite can easily be combined with:
- black and anthracite-colored living room furniture;
- light and dark wood types;
- metal accessories;
- concrete and brick-look walls;
- warm industrial lighting;
- brown and natural leather tones.
The decorative buttons and stitching emphasize the classic chair shape and give the upholstery extra depth.
Motorcycle-inspired decorative elements
The design features decorative details inspired by classic motorcycles.
These elements enhance the vintage character and fit well with barbershops with a powerful, industrial, or retro interior.
The combination of dark upholstery and brushed black components gives the furniture an understated yet distinctive look.
Brushed black frame and base elements
The base and frame elements are finished in brushed black shades.
The finish complements the graphite-colored upholstery and emphasizes the robust character of the chair.
The dark construction combines well with black mirror frames, metal trolleys, industrial lamps, and dark workstations.
Gently wipe the frame elements with a soft cloth.Do not use hard or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Upholstery of pleasant synthetic leather
The chair is upholstered with pleasant-feeling synthetic leather.
The material offers a smooth surface that is practical in a barbershop where loose hair, shaving foam, and grooming products need to be removed regularly.
The upholstery combines a well-groomed appearance with everyday ease of use.
The color of the product may differ slightly from the actual color due to individual monitor settings and lighting conditions.
Moisture-resistant and easy-to-clean surface
The synthetic leather is resistant to moisture and easy to keep clean.
This is practical during treatments where water, shaving foam, grooming products, and light humidity may be present.
Remove spilled products as soon as possible and do not allow moisture to sit around seams, buttons, or fastenings for extended periods.
Use a soft cloth and a product suitable for synthetic leather for cleaning.
Test any new cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Cleaning after every treatment
After every client, remove loose hair and visible product residue from:
- the seat;
- the backrest;
- the headrest;
- the armrests;
- the footrest;
- the base and frame elements.
Pay extra attention to the areas around decorative buttons, seams, and tufting, as loose hair and dirt can accumulate there more easily.
Allow the chair to dry completely after cleaning before the next customer takes a seat.
Protection during haircuts, beard trims, and shaves
Use a suitable barber cape to keep loose hair away from clothing and the chair as much as possible.
During beard and shaves, towels or other suitable protective materials can be used around the neck and headrest.
Check that the protection:
- does not block the hydraulic controls;
- does not hang around the round base;
- does not obstruct the swivel function;
- does not get caught between adjustable parts;
- allows the client to sit comfortably.
Remove used protective materials after every treatment and clean the chair before it is used again.
Daily check before professional use
Check the general condition and operation of the barber chair before the start of every workday.
Pay attention to:
- the stability of the round base;
- the operation of the hydraulic lift;
- the condition of the hydraulic cylinder;
- the operation of the swivel mechanism;
- the adjustment of the backrest;
- the adjustment of the footrest;
- the attachment of the headrest;
- the stability of the armrests;
- visible damage to the upholstery;
- loose parts or unusual movements.
Do not use the chair if a hydraulic, mechanical, or structural component is visibly damaged or unstable.
Safely sitting down and standing up
Before sitting down, bring the chair to an accessible, low, and upright position.
Have the customer sit in the middle of the seat and check that the back, arms, and feet are stably supported.
Then adjust the height, backrest, footrest, and headrest.
Return the chair to an upright position afterwards before the customer stands up.
Do not allow customers to stand on the armrests, backrest, footrest, or other adjustable parts.
