Barber chairs are built to be tougher and to handle more weight than either beauty salon styling chairs or unisex styling chairs. The width between the arms of a barber chair should be 23 inches to 24 inches to allow a big man to sit comfortably in the barber chair. The hydraulic base under a barber chair is also bigger than a beauty salon chair base. The diameter of the base plate of a barber chair is 26 inches, three inches greater than the diameter of a beauty salon styling chair. The lifting capacity of the hydraulic pump of a barber chair is also greater than the pump of a beauty salon styling chair. The extra heavy duty barber chair pump is rated to hold a 400 pound person.
