Free salon chair CAD block in DWG

What the salon chair block is

This is a styling chair drawn as a seat with armrests on a round hydraulic pedestal base, with a footrest at the front. The plan shows the chair footprint and the base disc that governs clearance; the elevation shows the seat, the reclined back angle and the pump base. Together they let you set out a styling station and confirm both the floor area and the chair height.

It inserts as a single block reference, so you copy and array it down a salon row and mirror it across an aisle. Edit the block once and every station updates, which keeps a multi-chair salon consistent.

Views and what's included

The download pairs a plan view — the one you array to lay out styling stations — with a front elevation that shows the chair height and reclined back. Use the plan for the layout and clearance checks, and drop the elevation into an interior elevation of the styling wall to show the mirror-and-chair relationship.

The geometry is layered so the seat, base and footrest separate cleanly, letting you tone the base disc back while you dimension the working clearance around each station.

Typical salon chair dimensions

Treat these as working ranges. A salon chair seat height adjusts over roughly 500–650 mm on its hydraulic base. The overall chair footprint in plan is commonly 600–700 mm wide including arms, on a base disc around 550–650 mm in diameter. Seat depth is typically 450–520 mm, and the back, when reclined, extends the overall length toward 1000 mm for a wash position.

For station spacing, allow at least 1800 mm centre to centre between styling chairs so the stylist has room to move around the client, and keep a clear aisle of around 1000–1200 mm behind the chairs. These clearances are what turn a row of chairs into a workable salon.

How to insert and scale it

The block is drawn full size in millimetres. Insert at scale 1 in a millimetre drawing, 0.001 in a metre drawing, or set INSUNITS to millimetres on an imperial template so AutoCAD rescales on insertion. Pick the insertion point at the base centre so you can snap the chair to a station centreline in front of each mirror.

To lay out a salon, place one chair, then ARRAY it along the styling wall at your station spacing, and mirror the row to the opposite wall. Keep the chairs on a furniture layer so you can freeze them for the construction plan and thaw them for the furnished FF&E drawing.

Where salon chair blocks are used

Salon chair blocks drive the layouts for hair salons, barbershops, beauty parlours, blow-dry bars and training academies, and they appear in retail and hospitality schemes that include a grooming area. They pair with the wash-basin, styling-station and mirror-unit blocks, and with the reception and waiting-seat blocks in the furniture category.

Because they are free and licence-clear, they suit student salon projects, fit-out concept plans and franchise rollout drawings where a repeatable, correctly-spaced station is exactly what the brief needs.

Planning a workable salon floor

A salon layout lives or dies on the gaps between chairs, so the scaled block is most valuable when you use it to test clearances rather than just to fill the plan. Set the styling chairs against the mirror wall, then check that the stylist's working envelope — roughly the arc they sweep around the seated client — does not collide with the next station or block the aisle. Two stylists working back-to-back across a central spine need the combined envelopes to clear, which is why the 1800 mm centre-to-centre figure matters.

Keep the styling chairs, wash basins, reception and waiting seating each on their own layer, and you can hand over a clean services plan, a furniture plan and an FF&E schedule from one drawing. When a station is resolved, WBLOCK the chair-plus-mirror-unit as a repeatable module and array it down the wall so every station is identical by construction.

Related seating and stations

For the matching front-facing view, the salon chair front elevation block draws the chair face-on for your styling-wall elevations. For the pedicure zone, the pedicure station block sets out the foot-spa seating. The wider furniture category holds reception seating, waiting benches and mirror units to complete the salon.
