An improved basin system adapted for use in hair salons

摘要

The present invention relates, in various embodiments, to an improved basin system adapted for use in hair salons. For example, embodiments have been developed to provide a hair wash basin that allows for increased efficiency and reduced adverse effects when washing and/or otherwise working with a person's hair. Embodiments provide wash basins having a central cavity in which a human subject's hair hangs under the influence of gravity, the central cavity being externally accessible by way of a movable panel member (for example a hinged panel member). This enables the basin to be used for washing of hair (with the panel in a closed configuration) and for accessing the hair to perform various treatments and other actions (with the panel in an open configuration).
