Description
Gabbiano offers professional hairdressing furniture and salon equipment that combine functionality, comfort and a neat design. The range includes hairdressing chairs, washing units and infrared equipment for modern hair salons.
The Gabbiano Mercedes children's hairdressing chair in the shape of a red sports car is designed to transform an ordinary haircut for young clients into a playful salon experience. The striking car shape immediately attracts attention and gives the child various interactive parts to discover during the treatment.
The chair has a hydraulic height adjustment of approximately 10 cm, a comfortable car seat-shaped seat, seat belts and a wide round base. Openable doors, light effects, a movable steering wheel, horn and extensive multimedia panel help keep the child busy while cutting.
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 Mercedes children's hairdressing chair helps shift the attention from the scissors, clippers and hairdressing actions to the striking red car.
Instead of a standard hairdresser's chair, the child takes a seat in a sports car with steering wheel, doors and interactive functions. This gives the appointment a less formal and more attractive character.
The chair can be especially practical for:
- professional children's hair salons;
- family hair salons;
- salons that regularly treat young clients;
- hairdressers with a separate children's corner;
- salons that want to clearly present children's haircuts;
- professional spaces where an ordinary chair is less attractive to children.
The playful form does not replace calm guidance, but can help make the first step to the chair easier and make the treatment feel more interesting.

From a haircut to an attractive car ride
The sports car shape makes it possible to present the treatment as a game or car ride. The child can sit behind the wheel, operate the horn and listen to music or sounds.
These functions can be used to help the child look forward and keep their hands in a fixed place while the hairdresser works around the head.
For example, the hairdresser or supervisor may ask for:
- hold the steering wheel calmly;
- looking straight ahead at the road;
- to use the horn at an agreed time;
- listen to a chosen song;
- close a door before starting treatment;
- to take an imaginary ride while the hair is being cut.
A simple assignment can be especially practical if the child needs to remain seated as quietly as possible while cutting around the ears, neck or contours.
Helps reduce tension around a hairdresser visit
The striking car shape can help prevent the treatment chair from being immediately associated with an unknown or exciting procedure.
The child first sees a sports car and then discovers step by step that the car is also used as a professional hairdressing chair.
The interactive elements can temporarily distract attention from:
- the sound of clippers;
- moving scissors;
- applying a hairdresser's cape;
- cutting around the ears;
- updating the neck area;
- sitting still longer.
A positive experience also depends on calm communication, clear explanations and guidance by the hairdresser and a parent or caregiver.
A recognizable children's area in the salon
The Gabbiano Mercedes can be used as a central part of a separate children's zone.
The chair can be combined with:
- a mirror at an appropriate height;
- a children's hairdresser's cape;
- a compact hairdressing trolley;
- a work stool for the hairdresser;
- a seat for a parent or supervisor;
- calm decoration that fits the car theme.
A permanent and recognizable place can be especially pleasant for returning young customers. The child will then know at the next visit which seat is being used and which functions are available.
Comfort for the child and practical access for the hairdresser
The design is not only focused on the appearance of a sports car. The seat and hydraulic base also make the model suitable for professional work.
The child gets its own seat with back support and belts, while the hairdresser can adjust the height to suit his own working position.
The right setting helps the hairdresser more easily access:
- the top of the head;
- the sides;
- the areas around the ears;
- the neck part;
- the fringe and front;
- the contours of the hairstyle.
By raising the child's head to a practical working height, the hairdresser does not have to bend down as low or constantly change his or her working position.
Hydraulic height adjustment of approximately 10 cm
The chair is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder which allows the seat height to be adjusted over a range of approximately 10 cm.
The adjustment makes it possible to adjust the chair to the body size of the child and the working height of the hairdresser.
A smaller child can be placed higher, while a different setting can be chosen for a larger child or a lower working position.
The hydraulic height can also be adjusted during treatment. The child does not have to get out of the chair again.
Adjustment during treatment
During a haircut it may turn out that a slightly higher or lower position is more practical for a specific hair zone.
The hairdresser can then adjust the chair in a controlled manner, for example to cut the top, finish the neck or check the shape from a different angle.
Always carry out the height adjustment calmly and check that:
- the child is sitting stably in the middle of the seat;
- the seat belt is correctly fastened;
- keep hands and feet away from moving parts;
- there are no toys, cables or bags around the base;
- the hairdresser's cape does not get caught between parts.
Tell the child in advance that the car is going up or down slightly, so that the movement is not unexpected.
Supports a more ergonomic working position
A chair that is too low can cause the hairdresser to work deeply bent over for a longer period of time. Too high a position can make it more difficult to reach the top of the head properly.
The hydraulic adjustment helps find a middle position that suits the treatment, the child and the hairdresser.
A correct working height supports:
- a straighter posture while cutting;
- less unnecessary bending;
- better access to different hair zones;
- more comfortable working with scissors and comb;
- a practical position when using a hair clipper;
- easier checking of symmetry.
The optimal setting may differ per child and hairstyle.
Comfortable seat in the style of a car seat
The seat is designed like a real car seat and therefore visually matches the design of the sports car.
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 place during the treatment.
Before cutting, check that:
- the child sits fully on the seat;
- the back rests well against the chair;
- the legs are comfortably positioned;
- the belt is closed correctly;
- the handlebars can be easily reached without leaning forward.
A quiet sitting position helps limit unwanted movements during precise cutting work.
Seat belts to support the seating position
The car seat-shaped seat is equipped with: seat belts. These help keep the child more stable in the seat and at the same time enhance the feeling of a real car journey.
The belts must be adjusted appropriately before each treatment. They should not sit turned and should not hug the child unnecessarily tightly.
Check regularly:
- the condition of the belt material;
- the operation of the closure;
- the mounting points;
- the correct length setting;
- whether the cape does not block the closure.
The belt supports the sitting position, but never replaces constant adult supervision.
Take a seat quietly before the haircut
Before taking a seat, move the seat to a suitably low position and guide the child when getting into the seat.
Practical preparation can consist of:
- Open one of the car doors if necessary.
- Have the child sit quietly in the center of the seat.
- Check the position of your back, legs and hands.
- Close the door carefully.
- Fasten the seat belt.
- Briefly demonstrate how the steering wheel or horn works.
- Then set the correct working height.
- Finally, apply the hairdressing cape.
Adjust the preparation to the age and reaction of the child and avoid too many stimuli at the same time.
Interactive features that capture attention
The Gabbiano Mercedes has various interactive functions that can keep the child busy during the treatment.
The equipment includes:
- doors to open;
- lighting effects;
- a movable steering wheel;
- a horn;
- a multimedia panel with sounds and music;
- USB support;
- Bluetooth;
- a jack connection.
By offering different functions, the hairdresser can adapt the distraction to what the individual child finds interesting or pleasant.
Openable doors for a realistic entry
The doors can be opened, enhancing the experience of getting into a real car.
This can make taking a seat more attractive and clearer. After boarding, the doors must be closed quietly and correctly.
Pay attention to the child's fingers when opening and closing. Do not swing doors back and forth forcefully or use them as a support to stand on.
Check regularly that the doors and hinged parts continue to function correctly.
Light effects for a striking playing experience
The built-in lighting effects give the car an interactive and striking character.
The lighting can draw the child's attention to the front of the chair while the hairdresser works behind or to the side of the head.
Use the light effects in a controlled manner and take the child's reaction into account. Some young customers prefer quieter use without multiple functions at the same time.
Movable handlebars to keep your hands busy
It movable handlebars forms a recognizable and easily accessible playing element.
The child can hold the steering wheel and pretend to drive themselves. This makes it easier to keep the hands at the front of the chair and focuses attention forward.
The hairdresser can use the handlebars as part of simple instructions, for example:
- keep the handlebars straight;
- look ahead at the road;
- only turn when the hairdresser asks;
- pause for a moment at an imaginary traffic light.
This playful communication can help during parts of the treatment that require precise movements.
Horn for direct interaction
The built-in horn gives the child an immediately audible response and makes the car experience more realistic.
To avoid unnecessary interruptions, it can be agreed in advance when the horn may be used.
The function can be used, for example:
- after completing part of the hairstyle;
- as a short reward for sitting quietly;
- to make the child look ahead again;
- at the end of treatment.
Be considerate of other clients and use sound in a way that suits the salon space.
Multimedia panel with sounds and music
The built-in multimedia panel provides sounds and music that can be used during the haircut.
Music can be especially useful during longer treatment or when the child becomes less interested in the steering wheel and doors.
The hairdresser can adapt the audio options to the situation and choose between the integrated functions or an external compatible audio source.
Keep buttons and operating parts clean and remove loose hair and other visible contamination after each treatment.
USB connection for your own audio equipment
The panel offers the possibility to... USB stick to connect.
This allows appropriate audio to be played that suits the child's age and preference.
Only use a compatible storage medium and carefully remove the USB stick when the function is no longer needed.
Keep the connection free of hair, moisture and cosmetic products and do not let the child pull forcefully on a connected USB stick.
Bluetooth for wireless music playback
The chair has a Bluetooth connection option. Allows suitable audio to be played wirelessly from a compatible device.
Bluetooth offers the possibility to adapt the music choice to the child without always connecting a separate physical audio source to the seat.
The function can be used, among other things, for:
- quiet children's music;
- a well-known favorite song;
- a short children's story;
- other appropriate audio that helps maintain attention.
Keep the connected device away from water, hair products and moving salon parts.
Jack connection for a wired audio source
In addition to USB and Bluetooth, the multimedia panel has a jack connection.
Allows a suitable audio source to be connected via cable.
Arrange the used cable so that it does not:
- around the hydraulic base;
- walks along a busy walking route;
- is pinched by the doors;
- remains within reach of pulling hands;
- the hairdresser's working position is limited.
After use, carefully disconnect the cable and store it safely.
Adapt entertainment to the individual child
Not every child responds the same to music, light or sound. The different functions make it possible to choose a combination that suits the situation.
For some children, just the steering wheel may be enough. Other young customers remain calmer when a familiar song is played.
Do not automatically use all functions at the same time. Too much light, sound and movement can become distracting or restless.
The hairdresser can start with one quiet play element and only activate additional functions when useful.
Support while cutting around ears and neck
The head should remain as calm as possible around the ears and neck. The interactive features can be used to keep the gaze forward.
For example, a hairdresser can start a song or ask the child to hold the handlebars straight while the contours are being finished.
Always explain clearly what is happening and stop if the child moves unexpectedly. The play functions should never lead to less attention for the safe use of scissors or clippers.
Striking red sports car for a distinctive salon
The dynamic shape of a sports car and the vibrant red color make the chair a striking part of the salon furnishings.
The red body attracts the attention of young customers and makes it clear that the salon takes children into account.
The model can be used both functionally and as a visual landmark within the salon. The chair immediately creates a clear atmosphere, especially in a separate children's corner.
Sporty design with recognizable car details
The flowing vehicle shape, doors, lighting and steering wheel give the model the character of a real sports car.
The design is attractive without losing sight of the professional functions of the chair. The hydraulic base remains under the bodywork and supports the height adjustment.
The combination of a playful appearance and functional salon construction makes the model suitable for professional children's treatments.
Helps the salon to stand out visually
A standard hairdressing chair is usually barely noticeable in a salon interior. The Gabbiano Mercedes is a clearly recognizable element.
The model can contribute to a professional presentation of children's haircuts and shows parents that specific facilities are available for young customers.
The eye-catching chair may be especially suitable for salons that:
- many families receive;
- actively offer children's haircuts;
- want to create a separate children's zone;
- want to offer young customers a playful experience;
- want to place a striking piece of furniture in the reception room.
The chair should always be positioned in such a way that professional walking routes and work space are maintained.
Positive associations with a visit to the hairdresser
After the appointment, a child can mainly remember the steering wheel, the doors and the music. This allows the haircut to be linked to an attractive experience.
On a subsequent visit, the familiar red car can again evoke recognition and interest.
The chair supports this effect, but the entire experience is also determined by:
- the calm approach of the hairdresser;
- clear explanation;
- an appropriate duration of treatment;
- guidance by a parent or caregiver;
- avoiding unnecessary stimuli;
- a safe and comfortable sitting position.
Wide round base for stable support
The chair is on a wide and sturdy round base. This construction supports stability during normal professional use.
The round shape distributes the support under the seat and forms the basis for the hydraulic height adjustment.
Always place the furniture on a:
- flat surface;
- dry floor;
- solid surface without loose parts;
- place with sufficient free space around.
Before each treatment, check that the chair does not wobble and that there are no objects against or under the base.
Sufficient work space around the car
The body of the children's chair is wider and more extensive than that of a regular hairdressing chair. Therefore, take sufficient free space into account.
There must be room available for:
- opening the doors;
- getting the child in and out;
- the movement of the hairdresser around the chair;
- a work stool or trolley;
- a parent or supervisor;
- the hydraulic height adjustment;
- free salon routes for staff and customers.
Do not place the chair directly in a busy passageway where someone could walk into the body, doors or base.
Always use under supervision
The Gabbiano Mercedes is a professional children's hairdressing chair and not an independent play equipment.
The child must be supervised while taking a seat, using the interactive functions and throughout the haircut.
Do not let children:
- climb onto the bodywork independently;
- standing on the steering wheel or doors;
- use the hydraulic controls;
- pulling forcefully on audio cables or connections;
- playing around the base without guidance;
- open and close the doors loudly.
After treatment, first bring the seat to a low and stable position before loosening the seat belt and allowing the child to get out.
Daily check before the first customer
Before the start of each working day, check the general condition and operation of the chair.
Please note:
- the stability of the round base;
- the operation of the hydraulic cylinder;
- the condition of the seat belts;
- the operation of the belt buckle;
- the mounting of the handlebars;
- opening and closing the doors;
- the operation of the horn;
- the operation of the multimedia panel;
- the state of USB, Bluetooth and jack functions;
- visible damage to seat or bodywork;
- free space around all moving parts.
Do not use the chair if any hydraulic, electrical, mechanical or structural part is visibly damaged or unstable.
Cleaning after every haircut
Loose hair can accumulate on the seat, around the seat belts, near the steering wheel and in the edges of the bodywork.
Remove visible hair and clean frequently touched surfaces after each client, including:
- the steering wheel;
- the horn;
- the control buttons;
- door handles;
- the hearing;
- the seat belts;
- the outside of the car;
- the edges around the multimedia panel.
Use a soft cloth and a cleaning agent suitable for the surface in question. First test a new product in an inconspicuous place.
Protection with a suitable hairdressing cape
During the treatment, use a children's cape that provides sufficient protection against loose hair.
Check that the cape:
- the belt buckle does not block;
- does not get between the doors;
- does not interfere with the hands on the steering wheel;
- does not hang around the hydraulic base;
- allows the child to sit comfortably.
After treatment, remove loose hair from seams, edges and moving parts.
Maintenance of doors, steering wheel and operating parts
Use the interactive components quietly and only for their normal function.
Check regularly that doors, steering wheel, horn and buttons remain firmly attached and respond correctly.
Prevent moisture, hair products or cleaning fluid from entering electronic connections or control panels.
If any part is loose, not functioning properly, or visibly damaged, use should be discontinued until the problem is checked.
