A double backwash lets you serve two clients at the same time on one shared construction, which genuinely shortens queues at peak times and makes better use of the salon floor than two separate stations. In our range you will find models from compact to statement pieces, with full customisation of upholstery, basin and fittings.
Who is a double backwash for?
A double backwash works best where more than one hairdresser works in the salon and client traffic is high, for example in the afternoons or at weekends. A shared frame and a single water connection mean that two washing stations take up less space than two separate backwashes placed side by side. This solution makes sense both in larger salons with several chairs and in smaller salons that want to increase capacity without rebuilding the entire washing area.
What should you look for when choosing a double backwash?
Choosing a good double backwash starts with checking where the water and waste connections are, and only then moves on to practical features such as basin adjustment or extras that increase client comfort.
- Basin tilt adjustment. Makes it easier to position the client's head and reduces the need to shift the whole body during washing.
- Additional equipment. An electric legrest and vibration or shiatsu massage increase comfort during longer care treatments.
- Material and upholstery. Faux leather is resistant to moisture and to the chemicals used in colouring, and is easy to clean every day.
- Water and waste connection. Most models are connected from below or from the rear after removing the back panel – it is worth checking this with your installer before ordering.
| Model | Dimensions (W × H × D) | Additional equipment | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| LUNA SOFA II | 114 × 100 × 119 cm | adjustable basin, upholstered armrests | compact, geometric form |
| COMFORT SOFA II | 127 × 105 × 130 cm | electric legrest, vibration massage (optional) | bestseller, classic and comfortable |
| ROYAL SOFA II | 140 × 102 × 125 cm | electric legrest, shiatsu massage (optional) | high-end, Louis style |
How do you match a double backwash to the size of your salon?
The choice between the compact LUNA, the versatile COMFORT and the statement ROYAL depends primarily on the available space and your salon's client profile. Check the position of the water supply and drain first, and only then compare basin adjustment, extras and upholstery. You will find more on choosing materials, client comfort and the most common buying mistakes in our guide to choosing a backwash for your salon.
AYALA S.A. also offers single Backwashes if a double station turns out to be too large for your salon. When choosing a specific model, compare the product pages and check the available upholstery, basin and fittings variants, so that the backwash suits both your range of services and the style of your interior.
Double backwashes – frequently asked questions
How much space does a double backwash take up?
It depends on the model. The most compact, LUNA SOFA II, is 114 cm wide, while larger models such as ROYAL SOFA II reach 140 cm. That is still less than two separate backwashes placed side by side, because the double construction uses a shared frame and a single connection.
Does a double backwash save space compared with two single units?
Yes. Two separate basins mounted on a shared body take up less floor space than two separate stations, while each of them still has its own fittings and a separate seat for the client.
How should you care for a backwash so that it lasts for years?
It is worth introducing three fixed rules: cleaning and disinfecting the basin area after every service, choosing cleaning agents suited to the upholstery material, and regularly checking the water fittings – hoses and connections – during routine maintenance.
Do you need separate chairs for a double backwash?
No. Models such as LUNA, COMFORT and ROYAL have seats integrated directly into the backwash's construction, so there is no need to buy separate styling chairs for the washing area.
