Deep shampoo bowl systems

Abstract

A deep shampoo bowl system having a hair washing basin defined by a plurality of sidewalls, a base with a drain, and a padded-member. The hair washing basin has a greater depth to accommodate long hair and prevent hair from clogging the drain and getting tangled. The padded-member includes an integral gel or rubber insert configured at a U-shaped neck opening formed in the side of the hair washing basin. The padded-member reduces discomfort and strain of a client's neck while leaning back to rinse hair.
