Salon Shampoo Area Storage Cabinets: For Towels, Products, and More!
The shampoo area runs smoother when everything has a place. Purpose-built cabinetry keeps towels, shampoo, conditioner, and color supplies organized and out of sight, while giving you a clean surface to mount bowls and backwash units. Family-owned since 1936, we've helped salons and spas across the country build wash areas that stay tidy through a busy day.
Choose from shampoo pedestals with tilting bowls, made to pair with separate shampoo chairs, or full sink-and-cabinet models with built-in towel hampers and storage for shampoo-area essentials. Each is designed to mount bowls, backwash units, and hampers while keeping supplies close and clutter down. Complete the area with professional shampoo bowls, color bar cabinets, and shampoo bowl parts and accessories, and use our financing options to build out your salon now while managing your budget.
How to Choose the Right Shampoo Cabinetry
Start with whether you need a bowl mount, storage, or both, then match the piece to your wash area.
- Pedestal vs. cabinet: pedestals mount a tilting bowl for use with a separate chair, while sink-and-cabinet models add enclosed storage and hampers.
- Storage needs: think through what the area holds, from towels to shampoo, conditioner, and color supplies, and choose cabinet space to match.
- Bowl and unit mounting: confirm the cabinetry fits the bowls or backwash units you plan to pair with it.
- Towel and waste handling: built-in hampers keep used towels contained and off the floor.
- Style and fit: choose finishes that match your wash area and the footprint your space allows.

Why Quality Shampoo Cabinetry Matters
Well-built cabinetry earns its place through organization, a cleaner area, and years of daily service.
- Organization: dedicated storage keeps supplies sorted and within reach, so the wash area stays efficient.
- Cleaner space: enclosed storage and built-in hampers cut clutter and keep the area looking professional.
- Long-term value: durable, professional-grade cabinetry costs less over its lifetime than a cheap unit you replace sooner.

Pedestal shampoo sinks with integrated bases

How do I know whether a cabinetry unit includes a shampoo sink or requires a separate bowl?
Each product listing specifies if a sink is included. To choose the right option:
-
Select units labeled “with bowl” or “includes sink” if you want a complete setup
-
Choose cabinet-only models if you already own a bowl or want to choose a specific bowl style
-
Review the mounting dimensions to ensure your bowl fits properly
-
Confirm whether the unit is designed for wall-mounted, cabinet-mounted, or backwash bowls
If you need help matching a cabinet with the correct bowl, Buy-Rite can assist with recommendations based on your space and equipment.
Do shampoo cabinetry units require special installation or plumbing setup?
Installation needs depend on the unit and whether it includes a sink. In general:
-
Pedestal sinks and cabinet-with-bowl units require standard plumbing hookups
-
Cabinet-only units may require drilling or bowl mounting during setup
-
Bulkhead units often hide plumbing lines and typically require more planning
-
Backbars used only for storage may not need plumbing at all
-
Local plumbing codes may require specific fixtures such as vacuum breakers
A licensed plumber is always recommended to ensure proper installation, code compliance, and safe operation of any plumbing-related cabinetry.
Buy-Rite can help you choose cabinetry that fits your room, equipment, and plumbing layout before installation takes place.
