Does a salon chair come apart?

Often the seat lifts off the hydraulic base on a tapered shaft. If so, separating them makes the move much easier.

How do I protect the hydraulic pump?

Lower it fully so the piston is retracted, then pad the exposed shaft so nothing scratches or bends it in transit.

How heavy is a salon chair?

The cast hydraulic base makes them heavier than they look, often 60 to 100 pounds assembled. Removing the seat lightens the load.

How to Move a Salon Chair

Last updated 2026-07-17 · MovePlan Editorial Team

A salon chair rides on a hydraulic pump base that is heavy and precise. Lower it all the way, protect that pump, and pad the upholstery, and the chair arrives ready to spin.

Difficulty: Moderate
Time: 30 to 60 minutes
Typical cost: DIY free, or $75 to $200 with movers
Supplies: moving blankets, stretch wrap, hex keys, labeled hardware bags, furniture dolly

Pro tip: Slide a furniture dolly under a heavy cast base to move it without lifting the full weight.

Watch out: Do not lay the chair on its hydraulic pump or drop it; the piston seals can leak and lose lift.
