         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion is a second plate. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving member is a U-groove. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible joint joining the first portion and the second portion comprises a hinge joint. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the seat is connected to the base via a swivel joint such that the seat assembly swivels with respect to the base. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the backrest is reclinable in one or more positions with respect to the base using a gas spring. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the gas spring is in the seat and is attached from handles to the backrest using a four-bar mechanism, wherein the gas spring is applying pressure such that the backrest is being pushed close. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises a headrest, wherein the headrest is adjustable in one or more positions using a leaf spring mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the footrest is adjustable in height and angle using a spring-loaded pin that locks the footrest in multiple positions. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a hydraulic spring for height adjustment forming a hub. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the hub comprises one or more legs that are foldable parallel to the hydraulic spring, and wherein the legs are lockable in one or more positions such that the legs support the base. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the legs are lockable using a spring-loaded pin joint. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the legs comprise feet to level the apparatus on a surface on which the apparatus is resting. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises a modular bracket, wherein the modular bracket holds one or more tools. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises a power socket, wherein the power socket is powered by a detachable extension coil. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the base is covered using a base skirt, wherein the base skirt is detachable and wherein the base skirt protects the base from dust and hair trimmings. 
     
     
         19 . A method, comprising:
 folding a seat onto a backrest and locking the seat and the backrest to form a seat assembly;   unlocking a mounting bracket connecting the seat with a base, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a first portion, a second portion, and a flexible joint joining the first portion and the second portion, and wherein the base is connected to one or more legs and the base comprises a hydraulic spring for height adjustment;   moving the second portion relative to the first portion of the mounting bracket such that the second portion is in a release position;   removing the seat assembly from the second portion of the mounting bracket;   moving the second portion relative to the first portion of the mounting bracket such that the second portion is in a foldable position;   folding the legs such that the legs lie parallel to the hydraulic spring;   packing the base in a travel bag;   engaging the travel bag to a modular bracket provided on the backrest of the seat assembly to form a transportable unit; and   adjusting a footrest in a handle position and positioning the transportable unit on one or more wheels integrated with the seat assembly; and   wherein the method is for disassembling an apparatus; and wherein the apparatus is a chair.
