minutes off. After 2 minutes of operation, let the motor cool for 18 minutes before resuming operation.
A typical salon would only operate the motor for 20 seconds or less, so the cool down time is much
shorter. Cool down periods are not an issue in normal use.
We suggest that stylists “be creative” in adjusting the sink to fit their clients, as each person is unique in their
body type. The Adjust-A-Sink® can be adjusted to improve the shampoo experience for most everyone with
a little thought and experimentation with height adjustments and head and body positions. Note that the foot
pedal swivels to allow for stylist preference. The concept behind the adjustable height, Adjust-a-Sink® is to
position the client in a manner that allows them to sit as upright as possible to allow their weight to be evenly
distributed throughout the body so as to alleviate pressure on the neck and lower back.
1.
Raise the Adjust-a-Sink® up higher than the client’s neck and shoulders.
2.
Position the client in the shampoo chair so the back of the chair and the neck of the shampoo bowl
are aligned vertically. The client will usually prefer a more upright seating position. We suggest the
use of an adjustable back, fixed position shampoo chair if possible.
3.
Lower the Adjust-a-Sink® to the client’s comfort level - the client’s neck should fit snug and
comfortable, without pressure, against the shampoo bowl.
4.
Ensure the client’s head is tilted so their forehead is over the bowl. You may need to lower the bowl
slightly, and or further recline the client to obtain this desired position. In this position, and with
moderate water pressure, you should be able to provide for a comfortable and dry shampoo. Again,
the Adjust-a-Sink® works best with the client sitting as upright as possible.
5.
When serving a client seated in a wheelchair, raise the sink so the handles of the wheelchair slide
under either side of the bowl. Based on the physical condition of the client, you may need to
experiment with the height of the bowl and/or the use of a second cape to funnel the water to the sink to
achieve the driest and most comfortable position. Using extra large capes will help keep clients dry.
