Robo-Barber Secret Mirror
At my recent haircut, I took pictures of my barber's solution to having NO space in his 2-chair establishment. It's very automated and Jetson's like!
Sink Mode + Vibra Action Robo Chair
There's a foot switch at the bottom of the mirror. That activates the wall. The mirror moves over and then the sink folds down.
The seat itself is also amazing--lumbar, recline, shiatsu massage, heat (of course), and even a internal kiddie-booster. The standard "chair go up, chair go down" switch is there too, but unfortunately it just didn't go down enough. Maybe the floor should have "barber go up" switch instead.
Sink Fold-out In Action
My camera's lens just isn't wide enough to catch everything in this small space. The customer leans forward over into the sink for the post-cut wash. Then comes the head & shoulder massage.
What? You don't get a massage at the end of your haircut? Geez, what century did your country learn about haircuts anyway?!? At least there's no blood letting. *whew*
... I asked the barber how much his rig cost, and if I understood correctly, each mirror thing (installed) is about $3000, but each seat is $10,000 (US). Holy moly.

That is super cool. How long does it take to get the works? I would totally be up for the post hair wash massage. How much does it all cost? That'd be nice. Are you her tallest client? TMM
He charges Y3500, roughly $35. I doubt I'm his tallest customer, but I was probably his tallest for that day!
It didn't seem like he got much business.. But it did seem like his house was connected to the building. I see a lot of unprofitable business/dwellings around here--there must be a tax reason for doing that.. (?)
That's a lot for a guy haircut! Our girl does Mitch's for 12, altho she may be giving him a deal since she likes us. ? TMM
I pay $42 for a haircut, and I do get a head massage! Great for the sinuses! yomama
I may be a few topics behind, but I've been away... Here in a suburb of Oklahoma City, I've been going to a barber -- er, stylist --- (he cuts men's & women's hair) for about seven years. He recently raised his price to $14. and I usually ask him to hose off the head in his sink for another $1. His name -- no joke -- is O'Hair!
