Description
Gabbiano offers professional hairdressing furniture and salon equipment where functionality, comfort, and refined design come together.The range includes, among other things, barber chairs, wash units, and infrared equipment for modern hair salons.
The Gabbiano BMW children's barber chair in the shape of a black car is designed to make a haircut more attractive and less daunting for young customers.The modern vehicle design, interactive controls, and built-in multimedia attract attention and give the child various ways to stay occupied during the treatment.
The chair features a hydraulic height adjustment of approximately 10 cm, a comfortable car-seat style seat, safety belts, and a wide round base.Opening doors, lighting, a movable steering wheel, horn, built-in music, USB, Bluetooth, and a jack connection make the chair a striking and functional children's workstation in the hair salon.
Designed for the youngest customers of the hair salon
A visit to the hairdresser can be unfamiliar or exciting for a young child.The Gabbiano BMW helps shift attention from scissors, clippers, and hairdressing procedures to an attractive black car.
Instead of sitting on a regular salon chair, the child can sit behind a steering wheel, play with the doors, and listen to music or sounds.This gives the treatment a more playful character and makes it easier to associate the salon experience with something positive.
The chair is particularly suitable for:
- professional children's hair salons;
- family hair salons;
- salons that regularly treat young clients;
- hair salons with a separate children's corner;
- salons that wish to visibly showcase children's haircuts;
- professional spaces where a standard chair is less appealing to children.
The striking car shape supports a friendly first impression, while the hydraulic base helps the hairdresser adjust the working height to suit the child and the treatment.

From a regular haircut to a playful car ride.
The car shape makes it possible to present the haircut as a short drive or a game.The child can hold the steering wheel, use the horn, and listen to music while the hairdresser works on the hairstyle.
The interactive elements can be incorporated into simple commands that help direct attention forward.For example, the hairdresser or supervisor can ask the child to:
- hold the steering wheel steadily;
- look straight ahead at the imaginary road;
- only use the horn at an agreed time;
- to listen to a chosen song;
- to close the car door before the start of the treatment;
- to stand still briefly at an imaginary traffic light.
A simple game format can be particularly practical when the hairdresser is working around the ears, neck, and contours, and the head needs to remain as still as possible for a while.
Helps reduce tension during a hairdresser's visit
The eye-catching car can prevent the child from immediately associating the chair with an unfamiliar treatment.First, attention is drawn to the vehicle, and then what happens during the haircut can be explained step by step.
The play functions can temporarily distract attention from:
- the sound of clippers;
- the movement of scissors;
- putting on a hairdresser's cape;
- cutting around the ears;
- touching up the nape;
- remaining still for an extended period.
The interactive chair serves as a tool during the treatment.Additionally, a pleasant experience remains dependent on calm communication, clear explanations, and guidance by the hairdresser and a parent or guardian.
A recognizable children's area in the salon
The Gabbiano BMW can be used as a central part of a separate children's zone.
The chair can be combined with:
- a mirror at a suitable height;
- a children's hairdresser's cape;
- a compact hairdressing trolley;
- a work stool for the hairdresser;
- a seat for a parent or caregiver;
- subtle decoration that complements the car theme.
A fixed children's workstation provides recognition for returning young customers.On a subsequent visit, the child knows which chair is used and which interactive features are available.
Comfort for the child and practical access for the hairdresser
The model combines an attractive appearance with features important for professional hairdressing.The child gets their own seat with back support and belts, while the hairdresser can adjust the height hydraulically.
The correct working height helps the professional gain easier access to:
- the top of the head;
- the sides of the hairstyle;
- the areas around the ears;
- the nape;
- the bangs and front;
- the contours of the hairstyle.
By raising the child's head to a suitable height, the hairdresser does not need to bend down as deeply, and the working position can be better aligned with the technique used.
Hydraulic height adjustment of approximately 10 cm
The Gabbiano BMW is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder that allows the seat height to be adjusted over a range of approximately 10 cm.
The setting makes it possible to adjust the chair to the child's height and the hairdresser's desired working height.A smaller child can be placed higher, while for a taller child, a lower setting may be more practical.
The height can also be changed during the treatment.This means the child does not have to get out of the chair again when an adjusted working position is required for a different hair zone.
Perform the hydraulic adjustment slowly and tell the child in advance that the car is going up or down.
Adjusting working height during different cutting phases
During a treatment, it may become apparent that a slightly higher or lower position is more practical for a specific part of the hairstyle.
The setting can be adjusted for, among other things:
- cutting the top;
- finishing the neck;
- touching up around the ears;
- checking the shape from a different angle;
- working with scissors;
- using clippers.
Before every movement, check that the child is seated stably, the safety belts are correctly fastened, and there are no objects around the hydraulic base.
Supports a more ergonomic working posture
A chair that is too low can cause the hairdresser to work bent over for extended periods.Conversely, a position that is too high can make the top of the head less easily accessible.
The hydraulic adjustment helps find a practical middle position that suits the child, the hairdresser, and the hairstyle to be created.
A correct working height supports:
- a straighter working posture;
- less unnecessary bending;
- better access to different hair zones;
- more comfortable working with comb and scissors;
- more precise use of clippers;
- easier checking of symmetry.
The optimal height may vary per young client and must be reassessed before each treatment.
Car seat-style seat
The seat is designed like a car seat and visually forms a single unit with the vehicle design.
The clear seat helps position the child in the center of the seat.The handlebars are located at the front so that the hands have a recognizable position during the treatment.
Before cutting, check if:
- the child is sitting fully on the seat;
- the back is resting against the seat;
- the legs are comfortably positioned;
- the seat belts are correctly fastened;
- the handlebars are accessible without bending significantly forward.
A comfortable and stable seating position supports the precise execution of the treatment.
Seat belts to support the seating position
The seat is equipped with appropriate seat belts.These help keep the child more stable in the seat and at the same time enhance the feeling of a real car ride.
The belts must be adjusted correctly before every cut.They must not be twisted and must not wrap around the child unnecessarily tightly.
Check regularly:
- the condition of the belt material;
- the operation of the buckles;
- the attachment points;
- the correct length setting;
- whether the hairdresser's cape does not block the fastening.
The safety belts support the seating position, but never replace supervision by the hairdresser and an adult supervisor.
Calm preparation before cutting
Briefly familiarize the child with the chair before starting.For example, show the steering wheel, the doors, and one of the sound functions before the hairdresser's cape is applied.
Practical preparation can proceed as follows:
- Lower the chair to a suitable low position.
- Open one of the doors if necessary.
- Have the child sit quietly in the middle of the seat.
- Check the position of the back, legs, and hands.
- Close the door gently.
- Fasten and check the seat belts.
- Briefly demonstrate how the steering wheel or horn works.
- Then set the correct working height.
- Finally, put on the hairdresser's cape.
Adjust the preparation to the child's age and reaction, and do not automatically activate all interactive functions at the same time.
Interactive features that hold attention
The features of the Gabbiano BMW are designed to keep the child entertained during the haircut.
The interactive equipment includes:
-
opening doors;
-
lighting;
-
a movable steering wheel;
-
a horn;
-
a multimedia panel with sounds and built-in music;
-
USB support;
-
Bluetooth;
-
a headphone jack.
The various functions can be used separately, allowing the distraction to be adjusted to the preference and reaction of the individual child.
Opening doors for realistic entry
The doors can be opened, thereby enhancing the experience of entering a real car.
This can make taking a seat more appealing and immediately provides the child with a recognizable action before the treatment begins.
Close the doors gently and watch the child's fingers.Do not move the doors back and forth forcefully and do not use them as a step or support.
Regularly check that the doors and hinged parts continue to function correctly.
Lighting for a modern play experience
The built-in lighting gives the car an interactive and modern look.
The light effects can draw the child's attention to the front of the seat while the hairdresser works behind or next to the head.
Use the lighting in a controlled manner and take the child's reaction into account.Some young customers remain calmer when only one interactive function is used at a time.
Movable steering wheel to keep hands occupied
The movable steering wheel forms a recognizable play element and gives the child's hands a clear place.
The child can pretend to drive while the hairdresser treats the back or sides of the hairstyle.
The hairdresser can incorporate the steering wheel into simple commands, such as:
- keep the steering wheel straight;
- look ahead at the road;
- turn only when the hairdresser asks;
- Stay still for a moment at an imaginary traffic light.
This playful communication can help during parts requiring precise movements.
Horn for direct interaction
The built-in horn gives the child an immediate audible response and enhances the experience of a real car.
To limit unnecessary interruptions, it can be agreed in advance when the horn may be used.
The function can be used, for example:
- after completing a part of the hairstyle;
- as a short reward for sitting quietly;
- to get the child to look ahead again;
- at the end of the treatment.
Take other customers into account and adjust usage to the quietness and size of the salon space.
Multimedia panel with sounds and music
The integrated multimedia panel offers sounds and built-in music that can be played during the haircut.
Music can be practical when the child needs to remain seated for a longer period or becomes less interested in the steering wheel and doors.
The hairdresser can choose the built-in functions or their own compatible audio source via USB, Bluetooth, or the jack connection.
Keep the panel clean and remove loose hair and other visible dirt around the buttons and connections after every customer.
Play your own music via USB
Suitable audio can be played via the multimedia panel from a USB stick
This allows music to be selected that matches the child's age and preference.
Use only an appropriate storage medium and carefully remove the USB stick when it is no longer needed.
Protect the connection from hair, moisture, and cosmetic products, and prevent the child from pulling on a connected USB stick.
Bluetooth for wireless audio
The chair features a Bluetooth connectivity.This allows suitable audio to be played wirelessly from a compatible device.
Bluetooth makes it possible to customize the music selection to the individual child without connecting an audio cable to the chair.
The function can be used for, among other things:
- calm children's music;
- a well-known favorite song;
- a short children's story;
- other suitable audio that helps maintain attention.
Keep the connected device out of reach of water, hair products, and moving salon parts.
Headphone jack
The multimedia panel features a jack connector to which suitable headphones can be connected.
This can be practical when audio needs to be played in a more personal way or when the general noise level in the salon needs to remain limited.
Pay close attention to the cable when using connected headphones.It must not:
- lie around the hydraulic base;
- be pinched by a door;
- obstruct the hairdresser's cape;
- hang within reach of pulling hands;
- restrict the hairdresser's range of motion.
Adjust the volume to a comfortable level and continue communicating with the child during the treatment.
Adjust distraction to the individual child
Not every child reacts the same way to light, music, or sound.The various functions make it possible to choose a suitable combination.
For some children, the steering wheel alone may be sufficient.Other young customers sit still better when a familiar song is played.
Do not automatically use all functions at once.Too much noise, light, and movement can actually cause extra restlessness.
Start with one simple play element and only activate additional functions when this actually supports the treatment.
Support during precise cutting parts
Around the ears, the neck, and the hairline, the head must remain as still as possible.
The hairdresser can use music, the steering wheel, or a simple driving instruction to direct the child's gaze forward.
Always clearly explain what is happening and stop when the child moves unexpectedly.The play functions must never lead to reduced attention to the safe use of scissors or clippers.
Modern black car shape for professional interiors
The modern vehicle design and the elegant black color make the Gabbiano BMW a striking yet professional element of the showroom interior.
The black version fits well in interiors with light and dark furniture and can be easily combined with various hairdressing equipment.
The chair complements, among others:
- modern black salon furniture;
- white and grey interiors;
- metal trolleys and workstations;
- light or dark wood types;
- blue, silver, or gold-colored details;
- minimalist hair salons;
- modern family and children's hair salons.
The chair attracts the attention of young customers while simultaneously emphasizing the modern character of the salon.
A striking centerpiece of the children's corner
A traditional barber chair usually goes largely unnoticed.The Gabbiano BMW, however, forms a clearly recognizable element within the space.
The model can immediately show parents that the salon offers specific facilities for young customers.
The car can be used as a central piece of furniture in a children's zone and complemented with appropriate lighting, a mirror, and a comfortable seat for an accompanying adult.
Helps create positive associations with the hairdresser
After the appointment, a child can primarily remember the car, the music, and the steering wheel.This allows the haircut to be linked to an attractive and recognizable experience.
On a subsequent visit, the familiar black car can evoke renewed interest and make taking a seat easier.
The full experience is additionally influenced by:
- the hairdresser's calm approach;
- clear explanation;
- a treatment of appropriate duration;
- guidance by a parent or caregiver;
- avoiding excessive stimuli;
- a comfortable and stable seating position.
Wide round base for stable support
The chair stands on a wide and sturdy round base.This construction supports stability during normal professional use.
The round base simultaneously forms the support for the hydraulic height adjustment.
Always place the chair on a:
- flat surface;
- dry floor;
- sturdy surface without loose parts;
- place with sufficient free space around it.
Before every treatment, check that the chair does not wobble and that there are no bags, cables, or other objects lying against the base.
Sufficient workspace around the chair
The car shape takes up more space than a standard barber chair.Therefore, ensure there is sufficient free space for the child, the barber, and the accompanying person.
Space must be available for:
- opening the doors;
- the child getting in and out;
- the barber's movement around the chair;
- a work stool or trolley;
- a parent or accompanying person;
- the hydraulic height adjustment;
- clear walking routes through the salon.
Do not place the chair directly in a busy passageway where customers or staff could bump into the body, doors, or base.
Always use under supervision
The Gabbiano BMW is a professional children's hairdressing chair and not a standalone play device.
The child must remain under supervision while seated, using the interactive functions, and during the entire treatment.
Do not allow children to:
- climb onto the bodywork independently;
- stand on the steering wheel or the doors;
- use the hydraulic controls;
- pull hard on cables or connections;
- play around the base without supervision;
- open and close the doors forcefully.
After use, first lower the seat to a low and stable position before releasing the belts and allowing the child to exit.
Daily check before the first customer
Check the general condition and operation of the seat before the start of each workday.
Pay attention to:
- the stability of the round base;
- the operation of the hydraulic cylinder;
- the condition of the seat belts;
- operation of the seatbelt buckles;
- steering wheel attachment;
- opening and closing of the doors;
- operation of the horn;
- operation of the lighting;
- operation of the multimedia panel;
- status of USB, Bluetooth, and jack functions;
- visible damage to the seat or bodywork;
- clearance around all moving parts.
Do not use the seat if a hydraulic, electrical, mechanical, or structural component is visibly damaged or unstable.
Cleaning after every haircut
Loose hair can accumulate on the seat, around the seatbelts, near the steering wheel, and in the edges of the bodywork.
Remove visible hair after every customer and clean frequently touched surfaces, including:
- the steering wheel;
- the horn;
- the control buttons;
- door handles;
- the seat;
- the seatbelts;
- the exterior of the car;
- the edges around the multimedia panel.
Use a soft cloth and a cleaning agent suitable for the surface in question.Test a new product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Protection with a children's cape
During treatment, use a suitable children's cape to keep loose hair away from clothing, the seat, and interactive parts as much as possible.
Check that the cape:
- does not block the seatbelt buckles;
- does not get caught between the doors;
- does not obstruct the hands at the steering wheel;
- does not hang around the hydraulic base;
- allows the child to sit comfortably.
Remove loose hair from seams, edges, and moving parts after every treatment.
Maintenance of doors, steering wheel, and multimedia panel
Use the interactive parts gently and exclusively according to their normal function.
Regularly check that doors, steering wheel, horn, lighting, and buttons remain securely attached and respond correctly.
Prevent moisture, hair products, or cleaning fluid from entering the USB, jack, or other electronic connections.
If a part is loose, not working correctly, or is visibly damaged, use must be stopped until the problem has been checked.

The detailed product dimensions are shown on the last product photo.
