Salon & Barbershop Moving in Chico, Yuba City and Sacramento

Salons often sit in strip centers and older downtown storefronts, where the front door opens onto a sidewalk or a shared lot. We measure the door against your chairs and stations, and look for a rear door that avoids carrying through a neighbor's customers.

Timing is set by the appointment book and the plumber. Most owners book the last clients on a Saturday, move on the owner's closed day, and have the plumber set the backwash units before stylists return. If the plumber cannot come until a later day, we place every station and chair and leave the shampoo area clear for them.

A few center managers ask for an insurance certificate naming the landlord before a moving truck parks in their lot, and we can send one. Early starts help in July and August, when chairs and mirrors should not sit in a hot truck longer than needed.

Salon furniture is mostly vinyl, chrome, glass and laminate, and it shows scuffs. Chairs are wrapped in pads, chrome bases get extra cover, and mirrors ride upright in padded cartons or with corner protection. Station tops and drawer fronts are wrapped so they do not rub against each other on the truck.

Chair bases are heavy and easy to drop, so the crew lowers each chair fully before lifting and moves it on a dolly rather than carrying it any distance. Hydraulic units are kept upright.

Products need a decision from the owner. Sealed retail stock and backbar cartons travel with us, packed upright. Open color, developer, bleach, aerosol and hot tools that were just in use stay with your team, who decide how and when they travel. At the new salon each station is set to its number and the owner checks the layout before stylists unpack.
