The configurator on this page is built around an illustrative salon hood dryer. Choose a shell colour and a base type, and the summary lists the unit ready for a quote.
Hood dryers sit at an awkward point in a salon fit-out. They are used daily for roller sets, treatments and colour processing, yet they take floor space that could hold another chair. Owners deciding on a hood think about where it parks between clients and whether it should fix to a chair. They also want to know how the shell will look beside the rest of their furniture.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
The demo covers white, black, silver and blush shells, with sage and navy in the full range. The base is wheeled or chair arm. A wheeled base moves between stations and can be pushed into a corner when not in use. A chair-mounted arm saves floor space but commits the hood to one seat. The summary records the base, while the product image stays the same for both.

Why a configurator suits salon hoods
Salon equipment is usually chosen as a set. The owner picks styling chairs, backwash units, trolleys and dryers together, often from a printed brochure, then waits weeks for delivery. If the hood shell turns out to clash with the upholstery, there is little room to change course.
A configurator lets the supplier show the hood in each shell colour alongside the furniture it will sit with. Twelve combinations of shell and base is a small set, but it multiplies quickly once the hood is placed beside chairs in several upholstery colours. Seeing those pairings side by side is what lets an owner, or their interior designer, sign off a fit-out without a showroom visit.
The base choice also changes the order itself. A chair-arm mount has to suit the chairs the salon owns or is buying, and a mismatch tends to surface on installation day. Asking the question during configuration, and checking it against the chair range, avoids collecting and reshipping heavy, awkward stock.
How a production version would be built
For the hood alone, one image per shell colour and base gives twelve images. The more valuable build places the hood in context: chairs and hood shot at matching angles and composited, so the owner sees a station rather than a single product. The supplier provides SKUs, chair compatibility for the arm mount, electrical requirements and lead times. Because hoods are almost always part of a larger fit-out, the configured unit should drop into a running equipment list that the salon sends as one request, with delivery and installation priced together.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Base choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if base types can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about salon hood configurators
Can the configurator check which chairs the arm mount fits?
Yes, if you supply the compatibility data. Each chair model is marked as compatible or not, and the arm option only appears when a compatible chair is in the build or the customer confirms the model they already own. That stops the most awkward installation-day surprise.
Can we show the hood next to our styling chairs?
Yes. Shooting chairs and hoods at the same angle and lighting lets them be composited into one view. The buyer picks an upholstery colour and a shell and sees them together. For a whole floor with several stations, a 3D configurator is usually more practical than photography.
Is a quote better than a basket for salon equipment like this?
For most suppliers, yes. Hoods are rarely bought alone, delivery often needs two people, and trade customers expect package pricing. The configurator builds the full equipment list and sends it as a quote, with each unit's colour and base stated clearly.
How would a hood fit into a configurator for our whole salon range?
As one product family among several. Chairs, basins, trolleys and dryers each carry their own options, and the configurator gathers them into one equipment list with compatibility checked between them.
