Developed for daily professional use
A barber chair is used throughout the workday for clients of varying heights and for diverse services.Therefore, the position must be adjustable quickly and precisely.
The Gabbiano Royal X offers the ability to adjust the height, back angle, footrest, and headrest to suit every appointment.
The chair helps the professional effectively reach various treatment zones, including:
- the top of the head;
- the sides of the hairstyle;
- the nape of the neck;
- the hairline and contours;
- the beard line;
- the cheeks and jawline;
- the chin and neck.
Correctly positioning the client allows the barber to work closer to the treatment area, limiting unnecessary bending, twisting, and reaching.
Comfort during short and longer treatments
The wide seat, firm foam padding, and contoured backrest support the client throughout the entire treatment.
This is especially important for appointments where multiple tasks are performed consecutively, such as cutting, contouring, beard care, and shaving.
The armrests provide a fixed place for the arms and help keep the shoulders relaxed.The headrest supports the head when the backrest is reclined.
During longer treatments, regularly ask if the selected position is still comfortable and calmly adjust the settings if necessary.
Supports an ergonomic working posture
An incorrect working height can cause the barber to work bent forward or with hunched shoulders for extended periods.
The hydraulic adjustment helps to fine-tune the chair to:
- the client's height;
- the professional's height;
- working from a standing position;
- working from a barber's stool;
- the type of treatment;
- the body area being worked on.
A suitable setting supports more precise work and helps limit daily physical strain during prolonged salon work.

Hydraulic height adjustment from 62 to 80 cm
The Gabbiano Royal X is equipped with a powerful hydraulic lift with which the seat height can be adjusted from 62 to 80 cm.
The 18 cm adjustment range allows the chair to be precisely tailored to different clients, tasks, and working postures.
The height can also be adjusted while the client is already seated in the chair.This means the treatment does not need to be interrupted when a different height is more practical for the next phase of work.
A lower setting can make sitting down and standing up easier.A higher setting can offer more control for precise work around the neck, contours, and beard line.
Adjust height without having the client stand up
The hydraulic control allows the working height to be changed during different phases of the same appointment.
For example, the barber can:
- raise the chair for precise work on the neck;
- Lowering the position for the top of the hairstyle;
- Adjusting the height for work around the ears;
- Adjusting the seating position to a barber's stool;
- Bringing the client to a practical height for beard care.
Perform each height adjustment slowly and then check that the chair is stable before resuming precise work.
Hydraulic operation without electrical connection
The height adjustment operates hydraulically and does not require a power connection for this function.
This eliminates the need to route a power cable around the round base, keeping the workspace tidy.
Regularly check the hydraulic cylinder for correct operation.Do not use the chair if the height drops unexpectedly, the controls jam, or visible leakage is present.
Adjustable backrest for a reclining position
The backrest can be adjusted to move the customer from an upright sitting position to a more relaxed, reclining posture.
This setting is practical for procedures where better access to the face, beard, jawline, or neck is desired.
The adjustable backrest can be used for, among other things:
- classic shaving treatments;
- beard contouring;
- grooming of the beard and facial skin;
- precise work around the neck;
- finishing the mustache and jawline;
- other procedures where an upright position is less practical.
Gently move the backrest to the desired position and check that the client remains seated comfortably and stably.
Adjustable footrest for leg support
The footrest can be adjusted together with the backrest to support the legs in a comfortable position.
When the chair is reclined, the footrest helps prevent the legs from hanging without sufficient support.
The combined backrest and footrest adjustment allows for various positions, including:
- an upright sitting position;
- a slightly reclined position;
- a relaxed position for beard grooming;
- a further tilted position for shaving treatments.
Before each treatment, check that the backrest and footrest remain stable in the selected position.
Better access during shaving and grooming procedures
A reclining position can improve access to the front and sides of the face.
The barber needs to ask the client less often to move their head strongly back or to the side.
The combination of adjustable backrest, footrest, and headrest makes it possible to fine-tune the position more precisely to the treatment.
Adjust the settings gradually and check the client's comfort in between.
Extendable headrest
The chair features a extendable headrest that can be adjusted to the client's height and position.
The headrest supports the head and neck during upright and reclining positions.
This is particularly practical for taller clients and for treatments where the backrest is positioned further back.
Before starting the treatment, check that the headrest is securely attached and remains stable in the selected position.
Stable support for head and neck
A correctly adjusted headrest helps prevent the client from having to hold the head position entirely by themselves.
This can increase comfort during longer beard and shaving treatments.
Adjust the headrest before tilting the backrest further.This allows the support to be better adapted to the body type and chosen treatment position.
Do not use the headrest to move the entire chair.
Individual adjustment for every client
Clients differ in height, sitting posture, and personal preference.The Royal X can therefore be readjusted before every treatment.
Practical preparation may consist of:
- Bring the chair to a suitable 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 work.
- Adjust the backrest and footrest when necessary.
- Check that all settings are stable before starting.
By performing these steps for every client, the use of a single standard position for all body lengths and treatments is prevented.

Durable and shape-retaining foam padding
The seat is filled with durable foam that resists deformation.
The padding helps maintain its shape and support when the chair is regularly used by different clients.
This makes the model suitable for intensive professional use where comfort and a presentable appearance remain important.
The foam layer forms a soft yet supportive base under the upholstery and helps distribute body weight across the seat.
Comfortable seat for extended services
The soft seat increases comfort when a client remains in the chair for a longer period.
This is practical for appointments where multiple services are combined, for example, a full haircut followed by beard care and styling.
The seat supports the body in an upright and reclining position.
Prevent strong localized pressure and do not allow clients to stand on the edges, armrests, or footrest.
Ergonomically shaped backrest
The backrest is contoured to support the back while sitting.
The shape helps the client remain stable in the center of the chair and supports a comfortable body posture.
In combination with the seat, armrests, and headrest, a complete support system is created for various treatment positions.
The backrest can be adjusted when a more relaxed or reclining posture is required.
Upholstered armrests at a comfortable height
The armrests are upholstered and positioned at a practical height to provide stable support for the client's arms.
This allows the shoulders to remain relaxed more easily and the client does not have to constantly hold their arms in position themselves.
The armrests support a natural posture during cutting, beard, and shaving treatments.
Do not use the armrests as a step and do not lift the chair by these parts.
Fully rotatable mechanism
The Gabbiano Royal X features a fully rotatable mechanism.
This allows the client to be rotated in a different direction without moving the entire round base across the floor.
The swivel function can be used to:
- improve access to the left or right side;
- to turn the client to a different mirror position;
- to position the chair relative to the lighting;
- to change working angles;
- to use the available salon space more efficiently;
- to keep the workspace organized around a fixed trolley.
Turn the chair slowly and check that the chosen position remains stable before precise work.
More freedom of movement for the barber
Thanks to the swivel function, the professional does not have to walk around the entire chair and base at every new working angle.
This is particularly practical in a compact barbershop or when lighting, mirror, and trolley are in fixed positions.
The client can be turned to the desired side while the other components of the workspace remain in place.
This supports a smoother and clearer execution of the treatment.
Suitable for combined barber treatments
The extensive settings make it possible to perform multiple tasks from the same chair.
The barber can, for example:
- adjust the height for the haircut;
- rotate the chair for better access to the sides;
- tilt the backrest for beard grooming;
- adjust the footrest to the new position;
- extend the headrest for neck support;
- reposition the client upright after use.
This eliminates the need for a separate chair for the different phases of a single combined appointment.

Sturdy round base for stable support
The chair stands on a sturdy round base that supports stability during normal daily use.
The construction provides a solid base for the hydraulic lift, seat, and adjustable components.
Always place the chair on a flat, dry, and firm floor and check that the base does not wobble before each workday.
Keep the area around the base free of loose hair, cables, bags, and other objects.
Soft red synthetic leather upholstery
The Gabbiano Royal X is upholstered with soft synthetic leather in red tones.
The powerful red color gives the chair a striking, sporty, and professional appearance.
The material forms a smooth surface that is practical in a barbershop, as loose hair and light soiling can be removed more easily than from highly textured fabrics.
The upholstery combines customer comfort with a representative finish for the salon interior.
Moisture-resistant upholstery
The synthetic leather is resistant to moisture.This is practical during work where water, grooming products, shaving foam, and light moisture may be present.
Moisture resistance does not mean that liquids may remain on the surface for extended periods.
Remove spilled products as soon as possible and do not allow moisture to accumulate around seams, connections, or under the seat.
Use appropriate hairdressing capes, towels, and other protection during treatments.
Easy-to-keep-clean surface
The smooth synthetic leather supports quick and practical cleaning between different clients.
Remove after every treatment:
- loose hairs;
- shaving foam residue;
- water droplets;
- beard and hair products;
- dust and other visible dirt.
Use a soft cloth and a cleaning agent suitable for synthetic leather.
Test every new product on a small, inconspicuous area first.Do not use hard brushes, abrasive sponges, or harsh solvents.
Chrome-colored elements for a modern finish
The chrome-colored parts form a bright contrast with the red upholstery.
The glossy finish emphasizes the professional and modern character of the barber chair.
Regularly wipe the chrome-colored surfaces with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and dry them carefully after contact with water.
Do not use abrasive agents that could damage the polished finish.
Decorative stitching with motorcycle inspiration
The upholstery is finished with striking stitching inspired by a sporty motorcycle style.
These lines accentuate the shape of the backrest and seat and give the chair a distinctive character.
The combination of red upholstery, decorative stitching, and chrome-colored details makes the furniture suitable for barbershops that want to create a powerful and recognizable look.
Also carefully clean the areas around the stitching so that loose hair and product residue do not accumulate there.
Red color for a striking barber interior
Red forms a distinct alternative to traditional black, brown, or beige barber chairs.
The color can be combined with:
- black metal workstations;
- light and dark wood types;
- chrome-colored accessories;
- concrete and marble-look surfaces;
- white, grey, and black walls;
- industrial lighting;
- sporty or retro decorative elements.
The red chair can be used as a central color accent or incorporated into a salon concept where red is already present as a recognizable brand color.
Suitable for modern barbershops
The sporty stitching and chrome-colored finish complement modern salon interiors well.
The chair can be combined with:
- sleek black mirrors;
- metal work furniture;
- concrete-look flooring;
- industrial lighting;
- dark walls;
- minimalist storage furniture.
The red upholstery gives the space a powerful visual accent without losing its professional character.
Also suitable for classically inspired interiors
The Royal X can also be used in a classically inspired barbershop.
In combination with dark wood, leather waiting area furniture, traditional mirrors, and warm wall lighting, the red upholstery takes on a rich and distinctive appearance.
The modern stitching ensures the furniture retains a sporty look, while the chair shape clearly aligns with professional barbershop furniture.
Cleaning after every treatment
After every client, remove loose hair and product residue from the seat, backrest, armrests, footrest, and headrest.
Pay extra attention to:
- seams and decorative stitching;
- the connection around the headrest;
- the edges of the seat;
- the areas around the armrests;
- the transition between chair and cylinder;
- the top of the round base.
Allow the chair to dry completely after cleaning before the next customer takes a seat.
Protection during haircuts and shaves
Use a suitable barber cape to keep loose hair away from clothing and the chair as much as possible.
For beard and shaves, towels or other suitable protective materials may 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 interfere with the swivel function;
- does not get caught between the adjustable parts;
- allows the customer to sit comfortably.
Remove used materials after every treatment and clean the chair before it is used again.
Daily check before use
Check the general condition and operation of the barber chair before the start of the 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;
- backrest adjustment;
- footrest adjustment;
- headrest attachment;
- condition of armrests;
- any damage to 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
Bring the chair to a suitable low and upright position before sitting down.
Have the customer sit in the middle of the seat and check that the arms and feet are positioned stably.
Adjust the height, backrest, footrest, and headrest afterwards.
Return the chair to an upright and accessible position after use before the customer stands up.
Do not allow customers to stand on the armrests, footrest, backrest, or other adjustable parts.
Sufficient space around the chair
Place the Royal X in a location where there is sufficient space to rotate the seat and adjust the backrest and footrest.
Allow space for:
- the movement of the barber;
- a barber stool;
- a work cart or trolley;
- the tilting movement of the backrest;
- movement of the footrest;
- extension of the headrest;
- unobstructed movement in the salon;
