Description

Gabbiano is an Italian brand for professional hairdressing furniture and salon equipment.The range includes functional barber chairs, wash units, and infrared equipment, among other things, with reliability, user comfort, and refined design at its core.
The Gabbiano Acri barber chair in black combines a modern, elegant appearance with practical functions for daily use in a professional hair salon.The model is equipped with a durable hydraulic lift, a fully swiveling seat, a comfortable backrest, partially upholstered metal armrests, and a matching footrest.
The seat height can be adjusted from 50 to 60 cm, even when the client is already seated in the chair.This allows the hairdresser to easily adjust the working position to the client's height, their own posture, and the section of the hairstyle being worked on.

Stylish barber chair for a professional salon
The Gabbiano Acri is designed for salons where functionality and a representative interior are equally important.The black upholstery, neat stitching, and metal details give the furniture a powerful and professional character.
The simple yet elegant shape makes the chair suitable for various salon concepts.The model can be used as a central element of a separate styling station or combined with multiple identical chairs for a cohesive design.
The Gabbiano Acri is suitable for, among other things:
- professional haircuts;
- styling and shaping the hair;
- blow-drying and styling;
- color treatments;
- conditioning hair treatments;
- consultations and preparatory consultations;
- daily use in modern and classically furnished hair salons.
The black upholstery combines easily with light and dark workstations, mirrors, trolleys, and other professional salon furniture.

Comfort for the client during every treatment
The comfortable seat is filled with soft foam that provides support during both short and longer salon treatments.
The client can sit back and relax while the hairdresser performs various tasks.The backrest supports the back and helps maintain a stable posture throughout the treatment.
The combination of seat, backrest, armrests, and footrest ensures that various parts of the body have a fixed place of support.
This is particularly practical during:
- extensive haircuts;
- color treatments;
- lengthy blow-drying and styling treatments;
- treatments with multiple consecutive steps;
- consultations and preparations for a new hairstyle.
A comfortable seating position helps prevent the client from constantly changing posture during precise work.
Supports an ergonomic working posture
A correctly adjusted working height helps the hairdresser work closer to the section of hair being treated.
When the chair is too low, the professional often has to bend forward for extended periods.Conversely, if the position is too high, the top of the head may be more difficult to reach.
The hydraulic height adjustment makes it possible to adjust the chair to:
- the client's height;
- the hairdresser's height;
- working from a standing position;
- working from a barber's stool;
- the type of hairstyle;
- the hair zone being worked on;
- the use of scissors, comb, brush, or clippers.
The correct chair position supports more precise work and helps limit unnecessary bending, twisting, and reaching too far.
Representative layout of the hairdressing station
A barber's chair is one of the most visible components of a salon workstation.The Gabbiano Acri therefore combines practical functions with a refined appearance.
The black upholstery creates a calm and professional surface, while the metal and gold-colored details give the chair extra character.
The model can be combined with:
- black or silver-colored mirrors;
- dark workstations;
- light marble-look worktops;
- metal trolleys;
- gold or brass-colored accessories;
- modern LED lighting;
- light and dark wooden furniture.
By placing multiple Acri chairs next to each other, a cohesive and professionally organized salon space can be created.

Hydraulic height adjustment from 50 to 60 cm
The Gabbiano Acri is equipped with a durable hydraulic lift.This allows the seat height to be adjusted within a range of 50 to 60 cm.
The height can also be changed when the client is already seated in the chair.As a result, the treatment does not need to be interrupted when the hairdresser requires a higher or lower position for the next phase of work.
A lower setting can be practical when sitting down and standing up.A higher position can offer more control during precise work around the neck, ears, and hair contours.
The hydraulic lift can be used, among other things, to adjust the position during:
- cutting the top of the hair;
- touching up the sides;
- finishing around the ears;
- cutting the nape area;
- checking symmetry;
- blow-drying and styling the hair.
Adjusting working height without having the client stand up
Because the lift can be operated while the client is seated in the chair, the hairdresser can adjust the working height during the same treatment.
For example, the chair can be raised for work around the neck and then lowered to better reach the top of the hairstyle.
This solution supports a smooth workflow and prevents the client from having to stand up or reposition themselves multiple times.
Perform every height adjustment slowly and check that the chair is stable after adjustment before resuming precise work.
Hydraulic operation without electricity
The height adjustment operates hydraulically and does not require an electrical connection for this function.
This eliminates the need to route a power cable around the round base, keeping the workspace tidy.
The hydraulic operation makes the chair independent of the location of a power outlet and helps limit cables around the hairdressing station.
Regularly check the lift for correct operation.Do not use the chair if the height changes unexpectedly, the controls jam, or the cylinder is visibly damaged.
Comfortable backrest with good support
The backrest is designed to comfortably support the client's back during treatment.
The shape helps the user remain seated in the center of the chair and supports a comfortable posture during longer salon visits.
A stable back position is also practical for the hairdresser.When the client sits straight and still, the shape of the hairstyle can be assessed more easily from different angles.
Before starting the treatment, check that the client can sit fully against the backrest and does not slide forward unnecessarily.
Matching footrest for stable support
The chair comes with a stylish footrest that fits this model specifically.
The footrest provides a fixed place for the feet and helps prevent the legs from hanging unsupported during the treatment.
A stable foot position contributes to a more relaxed sitting posture for the entire body.
The footrest can be particularly practical during:
- long cutting and coloring treatments;
- blow-drying and styling;
- consultations where the client remains seated for an extended period;
- treatments with multiple consecutive steps.
Use the footrest exclusively as support for the feet and not as a step to climb into the chair.
Individual adjustment for each client
Clients differ in height, sitting posture, and personal preference.The Gabbiano Acri can therefore be readjusted for each appointment.
Practical preparation can be carried out as follows:
- Adjust the chair to an accessible height.
- Have the client sit in the middle of the seat.
- Check that the back rests comfortably against the backrest.
- Have the arms placed on the armrests.
- Check that the feet rest stably on the footrest.
- Adjust the seat height to suit the work.
- Before cutting, check that the chair is firm and stable.
Repeating these steps for every client prevents using a single standard setting for all treatments and body heights.

Fully rotatable mechanism
The Gabbiano Acri features a fully rotatable mechanism.
This allows the hairdresser to turn the client 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;
- turn the client to a different mirror position;
- adjust the chair relative to the lighting;
- check the hairstyle from different angles;
- use the available salon space more efficiently;
- to change the working position around a fixed trolley.
Rotate the chair smoothly and in a controlled manner, and check before precise work whether the selected position remains stable.
More freedom of movement for the hairdresser
Thanks to the swivel mechanism, the professional does not have to walk around the entire chair every time the working angle changes.
This can be particularly practical in a more compact hair salon or when the mirror, trolley, and lighting are in fixed positions.
The client can be rotated to the desired side while the other components of the workstation remain in place.
This function thus supports an efficient and clear organization of the treatment area.
Sturdy round base
The chair stands on a solid round base that provides stable support during normal professional use.
The base forms a sturdy foundation for the hydraulic cylinder, seat, and swivel function.
Always place the chair on a flat, dry, and sturdy floor.Before each workday, check that the furniture does not wobble and that the base remains free of loose objects.
Keep the area around the base free of:
- loose hair;
- electrical cables;
- bags and personal belongings;
- towels and hairdressing capes;
- trolley wheels;
- other obstacles that may hinder the swivel function.
Smooth polished surface of the base
The round base has a smooth and polished surface in silver tones.
The finish gives the chair an elegant appearance and forms a clear contrast with the black upholstery.
The smooth surface also makes it easier to remove loose hair, dust, and light soiling.
Wipe the base regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and dry the surface carefully after contact with water.
Soft foam padding for high seating comfort
The seat is filled with soft foam that combines support and comfort.
The padding helps distribute body weight across the seating surface and ensures that the chair remains comfortable even during longer treatments.
The foam used is resistant to deformation and helps maintain its shape during regular professional use.
Avoid strong localized loads and do not allow clients to stand on the edges of the seat, backrest, or armrests.
Partially upholstered metal armrests
The chair is equipped with metal armrests with partial upholstery.
The combination of metal and upholstery gives the armrests a modern look while simultaneously providing a comfortable place for the arms.
The shape and position help to correctly support the customer's shoulders.
When the arms rest relaxed on the supports, the customer is less likely to:
- raise their shoulders sharply;
- let their head drop between their shoulders;
- lean forward;
- constantly change body posture.
A more stable position makes it easier for the hairdresser to perform precise cutting and styling work.
Natural position of arms and shoulders
The armrests provide firm support, so the client does not have to constantly hold their arms themselves.
This helps keep the shoulders relaxed and supports a straighter sitting position.
A stable upper body posture is especially important during:
- precise cuts;
- checking symmetry;
- color treatments;
- prolonged blow-drying;
- styling and finishing.
Do not use the armrests as a step and do not lift the chair by these parts.

Durable and shape-retaining materials
The Gabbiano Acri is designed for regular use in a professional salon.
The filling consists of durable foam that helps retain its shape, while the synthetic leather upholstery forms a smooth and practical surface.
The combination of these materials supports:
- comfort during daily use;
- a representative appearance;
- easy maintenance;
- resistance to light humidity;
- practical cleaning between different customers.
Regular care and correct use help keep the chair in good condition for longer.
Upholstery of pleasant synthetic leather
The chair is upholstered with pleasant-feeling synthetic leather.
The smooth material gives the furniture a professional appearance and is practical in a hair salon where loose hair and product residue must be removed regularly.
The upholstery combines a refined design with everyday ease of use and forms a suitable surface for professional salon furniture.
The black surface easily complements a variety of salon colors and remains visually calm within a busy workspace.
Moisture-resistant upholstery
The synthetic leather is moisture resistant.This is practical during work where water, hair products, and light humidity 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, stitching, or under the seat.
Use appropriate hairdressing capes, towels, and other protection during treatments.
Easy-to-keep-clean surface
The smooth synthetic leather facilitates quick cleaning between different clients.
Remove after every treatment:
- loose hairs;
- water droplets;
- styling product residue;
- color products;
- dust and other visible dirt.
Use a soft cloth and a cleaning product suitable for synthetic leather.
Test any new product on a small, inconspicuous area first.Do not use hard brushes, abrasive sponges, or harsh solvents.
Black upholstery for a powerful look
The upholstery is finished in shades of black.This color gives the chair a modern, professional, and timeless look.
Black can easily be combined with:
- white and gray living room furniture;
- light and dark wood types;
- black workstations;
- silver-colored accessories;
- gold and brass-colored details;
- marble and concrete-look surfaces;
- green plants and warm lighting.
The dark upholstery forms a clear basis for a modern salon concept and can be easily combined with striking branding colors.
Decorative gold-colored details
The black upholstery is combined with elements in gold-colored tones, giving the chair a striking and refined character.
The warm metallic tone forms a clear contrast with the black synthetic leather and can match mirror frames, lighting, handles, and other decorative salon elements.
Gold-colored details fit well with both a modern luxury interior and a more classic salon style.
Gently wipe the metal parts with a soft cloth and do not use abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Elegant stitching as a decorative finish
The carefully applied stitching emphasizes the shape of the seat and backrest.
The seams add extra texture to the black upholstery without making the design unnecessarily busy.
The combination of black upholstery, gold-colored details, and a polished round base gives the chair a distinctive and professional appearance.
Also carefully clean the areas around the stitching to prevent loose hair and product residue from accumulating there for extended periods.
Suitable for modern salon interiors
The black color and metal details complement modern and minimalist hair salons well.
The chair can be combined with:
- sleek black or gold-colored mirrors;
- minimalist workstations;
- metal trolleys;
- light or dark flooring;
- marble-look countertops;
- modern salon lighting;
- concrete-look walls and surfaces.
The dark surface provides a calm base for the treatment area, while the decorative details add a luxurious accent.
Also suitable for classic hair salons
The Gabbiano Acri can also be used in a classically furnished salon.
In combination with dark wood, warm lighting, large mirrors, and gold- or brass-colored accessories, the black upholstery takes on a rich and elegant appearance.
The simple chair shape prevents the furniture from looking too heavy or excessive and makes it possible to combine the Acri with existing salon furniture.
Professional appearance towards the client
The barber chair is one of the most visible elements of a treatment area.
A clean and well-maintained chair contributes to the first impression of the salon.
The combination of black upholstery, decorative stitching, metal details, and a smooth round base gives the Gabbiano Acri a well-groomed appearance.
Regular cleaning and inspection help keep the furniture presentable for every subsequent customer.
Cleaning after every treatment
After every customer, remove loose hairs and visible product residue from the seat, backrest, armrests, and footrest.
Pay extra attention to:
- seams and stitching;
- the edges of the seat;
- the areas around the armrests;
- the transition between the seat and the hydraulic cylinder;
- the top of the round base;
- the footrest.
Allow the chair to dry completely after cleaning before the next customer sits down.
Protection during cutting and coloring treatments
Use a suitable hairdresser's cape to keep loose hair and product residue away from clothing and the chair as much as possible.
For coloring treatments, additional towels or suitable protective materials may be used.
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 come between the armrests and the seat;
- allows the customer to sit comfortably.
Remove color products immediately when they come into contact with the upholstery or metal parts.
Maintenance of the polished base
Wipe the round base regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
Dry the polished surface carefully after contact with water to limit visible water stains.
Do not use abrasive agents or harsh cleaning materials that could damage the smooth finish.
Remove loose hair and dust, including around the hydraulic cylinder and the connection to the base.
Daily check before professional use
Check the general condition and operation of the barber chair before the start of each 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 attachment of the seat;
- the condition of the backrest;
- the attachment of the armrests;
- the stability of the footrest;
- any 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
Lower the chair to an appropriately low position before sitting down.
Have the customer sit in the middle of the seat and check that the back, arms, and feet are stably supported.
Adjust the height to the work afterwards.
Return the chair to a comfortable and accessible position after use before the client stands up.
Do not allow clients to stand on the armrests, backrest, footrest, or other parts.
Sufficient space around the chair
Place the Gabbiano Acri in a location where there is sufficient space to fully rotate the seat.
Allow space for:
- the movement of the hairdresser;
- a hairdresser's stool;
- a work cart or trolley;
- the turning radius of the chair;
- the footrest;
- unobstructed walking routes through the salon;
