Unfortunately, this product has been discontinued. Check some of the Pedicure Chair we’ve reviewed.

Are you thinking about opening a spa or salon? Or perhaps you’ve already got one but are looking to update your pedicure chairs?

Either way, you’ll love our review of the Belava Elevate pedicure chair. It’s got an amazing feature set with lots to love, both on the client and technician sides. It’s not “just” a pedicure chair but a modular system you can scale to your heart’s content to keep a unified theme in your spa or salon.

In the following sections, we’ll look at everything this chair offers. Even if you ultimately decide it’s more than you want to spend on a pedicure chair, we think you’ll agree; this model sets the standard. Let’s jump right in and take a closer look!

Key Features of the Belava Elevate Pedicure Chair and Modular System

Footprint and Aesthetic

When considering Elevate’s footprint, we’ll look at the chair and base itself, not counting the dimensions of any add-ons or extras that go with the modular system. The chair (with one step to help clients take their seats) measures 52.25” x 40” x 52”.

The chair boasts a sleek, modern look and comes in various colors (you can specify when you place your order). The styling will give your shop a sophisticated look, although the overall aesthetic may not be everyone’s liking. We find it quite beautiful, but of course, opinions will vary.

Technician-Centered Features

The Belava Elevate pedicure modular system is a pipeless chair, which has two key advantages. First, you won’t have to spend time connecting it to your shop’s plumbing system, which makes setup fast and convenient. Second, and the reason pipeless chairs are so popular, cleanup is a snap.

The height of the client’s chair can be raised or lowered up to 9”, under the technician’s control, minimizing the amount of stooping and bending they’ll have to do—a convenient way to minimize back strain for your employees.

The chair’s platform also has two drawers for storage, so your technicians will have everything they need to do their jobs right at their fingertips.

It gets better, though, because the optional equipment you can purchase as part of the modular system—which we’ll talk more about in its section—includes a compartment tower.

This compartment tower offers more storage for the technician and serves as a side table for the client. It is complete with a compartment for your customers to store their belongings while getting their pedicures. 

The client’s footrest is also well-designed and slightly higher than average, which helps minimize the bending your employees will have to do.

It’s worth mentioning that when you purchase the basic chair, you get the chair itself, a matching technician’s chair, the single step, the foot spa, and fifty disposable liners.

Note that the technician’s chair is an actual (wheeled) chair with a back instead of a simple stool. Your employees will thank you for the back support!

Client-Centered Features

Just as there’s much to like on the technician side of the equation, the Belava Elevate doesn’t skimp on customer comforts, either!

We already mentioned the customer storage in the section above, but there’s more. The Elevate also offers heat and massage, which your customers can control at the touch of a button.

Note that the heat and massage are operated independently, so your customers can enjoy luxurious back heat alone, massage alone, or both together.

While we love that the Elevate offers massage, we should point out that it’s a simple vibration massage. This was a bit of a disappointment, but given how many pedicure chairs don’t offer the feature, the fact that massage is present in any form has to be counted as a big win. 

Even so, if Belava were to swap the vibrating nodes out for quad or dual rollers, we’d like it even more than we already do.

Modular System

In our view, this is hands down the chair’s best feature. Belava did a masterful job of engineering it so that the extra components you can purchase can be used to create a row of pedicure chairs, fitting as many of them as you’d like (or have space for) next to each other seamlessly.

If you want to offer couples pedicures, setting two together is easy to make a couple’s bench. If you’re looking to maximize the number of chairs in your shop, this system will allow you to create a “bench” with as many chairs right next to one another as your shop’s floor space will allow. Kudos to Belava for this approach!

Belava Pedicure Chair Elevate Pros and Cons

We like almost everything about the pedicure chair Elevate by Belava. It’s a splendid mix of form and function, and the modular system makes it a great fit for shops of all sizes.

If it had one drawback, it’s the fact that Belava pedicure chairs are on the expensive side. This is a case of getting what you pay for, though, and discerning shop owners will recognize that they can draw in more customers and attract high-end clientele by spending a bit more on a chair like this.

Although, we readily admit that it might be priced out of reach for some owners.

Belava Elevate Pedicure Chair Review Conclusion

The Belava Elevate pedicure chair is the Gold Standard, only narrowly missing a perfect five-star rating. If the manufacturer improves the quality of the client massage, we will give this model a perfect rating.

Issues of cost aside, this is the chair you want. It’s the chair that every other company should aspire to match.
