Leasing Salon Equipment: Chairs, Stations, and Shampoo Units

Launching or renovating a salon is exciting—but furnishing it with professional equipment can quickly become costly. Thankfully, leasing salon equipment offers a budget-friendly way to get high-end chairs, stations, and shampoo units without the heavy upfront investment.

Whether you're a solo stylist, opening your first salon, or expanding your location, leasing helps you build a beautiful, functional space—while keeping your finances flexible.

Can You Lease Salon Equipment?

Yes! Salon owners can lease styling chairs, stations, shampoo units, and more with affordable monthly payments—no large upfront costs required.

Why Lease Salon Equipment Instead of Buying?

Professional-grade salon equipment doesn’t come cheap—especially when you’re furnishing multiple stylist stations. Leasing lets you:

  • Preserve your  cash flow for rent, marketing, or payroll

  • Access higher-end, ergonomic equipment for less upfront

  • Enjoy predictable monthly payments

  • Upgrade or add more units as your salon grows

  • Potentially deduct lease payments as a business expense (ask your CPA)
