An apparatus that supports a user in a variety of positions to comfortably perform tasks, such as applying one or more tattoos to skin of a subject is herein disclosed. The apparatus can be reconfigured to optimally position and support the arms and/or chest of the user. A method for using a stool can involve rotating armrests of the apparatus from a stowed position to a deployed position. The armrests can support the user's forearms while supporting the user's chest such that the user can comfortably perform tasks in front of a chest support of the stool.

A salon treatment assembly (10) includes a salon chair (12) that supports the user during the salon treatment; and a foot bath system (14) that is coupled to the salon chair (12). The foot bath system (14) includes (i) a foot bath (15) that is configured to receive and retain a bath liquid (15A); and (ii) a ventilation system (16) that includes a vent inlet (16A) that is coupled to the foot bath (15), and a vacuum source (61) that creates at least a partial vacuum in the vent inlet (16A) to draw gas away from near the foot bath (15).

An apparatus for protecting chairs prevents unauthorized persons from interacting with a chair. The apparatus prevents persons from sitting on the chair in the location where a person would normally sit and also prevents persons from playing with the chair. A cover has retainers attached to it. The retainers engage elements of the chair such as arms, seat, seat back, etc. to maintain the apparatus on a chair. The cover portion of the apparatus covers, or spans over, the location where a person would normally occupy and denies that volume of space to an unauthorized person. Also, when the apparatus is installed, the cover conceals the retainers that keep the apparatus in place. Some embodiments, may also employ anti-tamper elements, such as a locking buckle on the retainer.

An apparatus for aiding service providers who service customers situated in a relatively fixed position includes a floor, an elevated customer support surface disposed in a first position on the floor, a curved rail connected to the floor in a fixed position about the elevated customer support surface at the first position having a first end with a stop and a second end with a stop. A powered roller mechanism operably connects to the curved rail surface having a chair support surface maintained above the rail and limited in travel between the stops. A service provider chair for handling a customer on the customer support surface is mounted to the chair support surface in a manner to be movable along the rail and a controller on the chair operably connects to the powered roller mechanism for controlling movement of the chair along the rail.

a base configured to attach to a floor to support the chair system. A rigid trunk member is configured to vertically stabilize by the base, the trunk member adjustable up and down to change a height of the customer chair. The customer chair rotatably connects to and supported by the trunk member. A rigid branch member is configured to rotatably connect to the trunk member for support. The stylist chair is rotatably connected to and supported by the branch member providing a circular range of motion for the stylist chair around and independent of the customer chair. A foot control connects directly or indirectly to the rigid trunk member and positions the customer chair relative to the stylist chair.
