Esthetician Table Buying Guide

Feb 5th 2025

Esthetician tables serve various purposes in spas and salons. From facials and waxing to dermaplaning and red light treatments, estheticians rely on quality tables to serve their clients in a comfortable and relaxing setting.

Read on to learn more about the most important features of a high-quality esthetician table in our buying guide below.

Esthetician Table Buying Guide

Setting up a spa or salon can be overwhelming, with decisions required on everything from facial scrubs to the bathroom wallpaper and from services offered to safety certifications required. When it comes to esthetician tables, there is no room for skimping on either comfort or safety. Aesthetics will certainly play into your choice since the visual appeal of a spa or salon should always be pleasing, but safety is paramount, with comfort a close second.

With that in mind, you will want to consider the following categories closely while evaluating different esthetician tables.

Safety and Durability

Above all else, the tables in your salon or spa should be easy for clients to get on and off safely, and they should be securely set up to prevent falls or injuries. A cheaply constructed esthetician table is an accident waiting to happen, and this is the last blemish you would want on the reputation of your salon.

Esthetician tables should be constructed from high-quality materials that can withstand daily wear and tear without damage. Whenever possible, you should aim to use tables that can be raised and lowered, especially for clients with mobility issues. The padding and upholstery should be durable but also comfortable and should never irritate the skin or be cleaned with harsh chemicals that might do the same.

Patient safety also comes into play when cleaning esthetician tables. You should ensure tables are cleaned properly between treatments to minimize the spread of germs or infections.

Size and Weight Capacity

Before you purchase an esthetician table, measure your space carefully to ensure that you have enough room for it and plenty of room to move around it comfortably during treatments. Consider taping out the dimensions on the floor of any empty treatment room, and also check doorways if you plan to move tables between spaces in your spa.

Another important consideration is the weight capacity; look for tables with the highest weight capacities and safety ratings to ensure you can serve a wide range of clients.

Versatility and Adjustability

Treatment tables designed for estheticians should always be versatile and allow for a number of different treatments. What you may be considering as a facial bed provides better value if it can also be used for waxing, massage, and a variety of other services.

The adjustable components of an esthetician's table make a huge difference when it comes to different treatments. Beds that can be raised and lowered to a variety of different heights and positions will allow you to offer more services to clients. Automated adjustments are preferred over manual ones to reduce strain on the esthetician and also enable clients to get in and out of the beds safely.

Design

The safety, durability, and functionality of an esthetician table do not require a sacrifice in design. High-quality esthetician tables come in many sleek and attractive designs intended to blend seamlessly with the decor of a spa or salon. Many manufacturers offer choices in upholstery colors, so the esthetician table can work with your chosen color palette.
