Description
Give your clients comfortable support during shampooing while keeping the wash area practical to use. The Gabbiano Elena electric salon backwash unit in black brings together a ceramic basin, a contoured chair, an electrically adjustable footrest and a back massage system. It is designed for professional hair washing, rinsing out haircare products and related salon services. Gabbiano specialises in hairdressing equipment and furniture, with attention to functionality, finish and user comfort.
A salon wash station with comfort built in
A wash unit has to serve both the person sitting in it and the stylist working around it. Elena combines the chair and basin in an integrated design, so leg support, back support and access to the hair form part of the same station. The shaped seat and appropriately angled backrest support a comfortable position during washing and longer haircare services.
This model is a useful choice when you want the washing stage to include an extra element of relaxation. The massage function complements the core washing equipment, while the adjustable footrest lets you respond to the client’s preferred leg position. The deep basin and practical fittings remain central to thorough rinsing and the everyday work of the salon.
Electrically adjustable footrest
The electric footrest adjustment lets you change the support beneath the client’s legs without manually repositioning the footrest. Remote control operation makes the adjustment accessible while you prepare the client for washing. Together with the contoured seat and backrest, it helps create a supported sitting position suited to that appointment.
When welcoming a client, you can check their preferred leg position and adjust the footrest accordingly. This is particularly useful when the visit includes more than a quick shampoo and rinse. The benefit is the ability to adapt one part of the seating position to the individual, while the chair’s shaped surfaces provide the remaining support.
Back massage with four moving rollers
The built-in massage mechanism uses four moving rollers that travel along the back, following the line of the spine. It adds a relaxing feature to an ordinary hair wash and allows you to offer a different experience at the wash station. The massage is a comfort feature within the salon service.
A remote control with a clear display gives access to the massage settings. You can choose between massage modes and adjust the intensity to the client’s preferences. Discussing those preferences before selecting a setting helps keep the service personal: some clients may value the additional relaxation, while others will focus on finding a comfortable position for the wash itself.
Deep ceramic basin and neck support
The deep ceramic basin in shades of black provides space for washing hair and rinsing away products thoroughly. Its depth helps limit splashing beyond the basin, which is useful during regular shampooing and when rinsing out conditioning treatments. The smooth ceramic surface is resistant to scratches and discolouration and makes visible dirt and product residue easier to remove.
The contoured rim works with the angle of the backrest to support comfortable head positioning. A black plastic neck insert reduces direct contact between the neck and the cool ceramic. This small contact detail matters at a wash station, where the head rests against the basin throughout shampooing and rinsing.
Practical fittings for washing and rinsing
The mixer tap lets you adjust the water temperature to the client’s preference, while the hand shower helps direct water through the hair during rinsing. A dedicated holder provides a place to return the shower head between tasks. The plug with a strainer catches larger particles and supports the routine of keeping the wash area clean.
The water connection is concealed beneath the ceramic basin, keeping it out of the main view of the station. Black-toned fittings coordinate with the basin and upholstery. The supplied fittings include:
- A mixer tap for adjusting the water temperature.
- A hand shower for rinsing the hair.
- Connection hoses.
The shower holder and plug with strainer are also part of the unit’s equipment. Keeping these practical elements together makes it easier to organise the washing stage and move between wetting, shampooing and rinsing without searching for a place to set the shower head down.
Black upholstery with silver-coloured details
Elena has a geometric form, pronounced seat lines and silver-coloured armrest finishes. These details create a modern appearance that can work alongside black styling chairs, light interiors or mixed metal accents. Decorative stitching adds definition to the upholstery and highlights the shaped surfaces of the seat and backrest.
The black synthetic leather upholstery is easy to keep clean and suitable for everyday salon use. Soft padding and the contoured seat provide comfortable body support during longer appointments. The combination of black ceramic, black upholstery and matching fittings gives the wash area a coordinated appearance, while the silver-coloured armrests provide a visual accent.
Connections and planning your wash area
The water inlet is 1/2 inch, and the drain diameter is 30 mm. These are the connection sizes to consider when matching the unit to the salon’s water and drainage arrangements. The footrest is operated by an electric actuator, so its adjustment forms part of the unit’s powered functions.
Allow for a possible dimensional variation of ±2 cm when planning the position of the wash unit. Consider the space needed around the chair, access to the basin and the position of the footrest when raised, so your layout supports the way you intend to use the station.
