Setting up a chair: the tools on our stations
Scissors, clippers, combs and the small things that make a cut clean. A walk through what sits on every Barba station and why.
Every station in the shop is set up the same way, so any barber can step into any chair and find what they need without looking.
- Two pairs of scissors: a straight blade for bulk, a thinning pair for texture
- Corded clippers for fades, a cordless trimmer for detail
- Three combs, from wide tooth to fine
- A neck brush, a spray bottle and a clean towel per client
Tools are cleaned and disinfected between every client, and blades are changed every shave.
