How To Dress A Facial Bed

Dressing a facial bed properly is essential for maintaining hygiene, comfort, and a professional appearance in your spa or beauty salon. A well-prepared facial bed enhances the client experience, protects equipment, and reflects your salon’s attention to detail.

1. Understand the Purpose of Dressing a Facial Bed

A facial bed (also called a beauty or treatment bed) must balance comfort, cleanliness, and aesthetic presentation. Proper dressing:

• Creates a relaxing, spa-like environment.

• Protects the upholstery from oils, creams, and products.

• Ensures hygiene between clients.

• Enhances the professionalism of your treatment room.

Huiyi Beauty’s facial beds are made with PU or PVC leather, designed for easy cleaning and durability — but correct layering is still vital for client safety and comfort.

2. Materials You’ll Need

Optional for premium spas:

• Heated blanket for client comfort

• Aromatherapy cover cloth for luxury ambience

3. Step-by-Step: How to Dress the Facial Bed

Step 1: Clean and Sanitize the Bed Surface

Before placing any linens, wipe the bed’s upholstery with a disinfectant-safe cleaner.

• Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth.

• Ensure no residue or moisture remains.

• Disinfect armrests, face cradle, and head section as well.

Huiyi beauty facial beds feature water-resistant upholstery — allowing quick disinfection without surface damage.

Step 2: Apply the Waterproof Layer or Disposable Cover

Place a protective layer over the entire bed surface.

• This layer prevents lotions, oils, or serums from seeping into the material.

• In high-turnover spas, a disposable non-woven sheet or spa paper roll is ideal.

Change this cover after every client to maintain hygiene standards.

Step 3: Add the Fitted Sheet

• Stretch the fitted sheet tightly over the bed corners to create a smooth, wrinkle-free surface.

• Ensure it’s snug but not overly tight, as tension may cause tearing.

• The sheet should fully cover the headrest and extend down to the leg area.

For branded salons, consider using custom-fitted sheets with your logo or signature color scheme.

Step 4: Add a Flat Sheet or Lightweight Blanket

Lay a flat sheet over the fitted one for client comfort.

• Leave enough material at the top to fold over the client’s shoulders later.

• Tuck in the sides neatly for a tailored, professional appearance.

• During cooler months, use a light thermal or fleece blanket.

Ensure all fabrics are soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, ideally made from cotton or microfiber.

Step 5: Cover the Face Cradle or Headrest

Wrap the head section with a disposable cover or a freshly laundered small towel.

• This prevents direct skin contact with the upholstery.

• It should be replaced after each session.

Huiyi Beauty Beds are available with detachable face cradles that make replacement and cleaning quick and convenient.

Step 6: Add a Pillow or Bolster (Optional)

• Place a neck or knee bolster under the client for ergonomic support.

• Cover each with a clean, soft pillowcase or towel.

• Adjust positioning based on the treatment type (facial, massage, waxing, etc.).

Step 7: Finishing Touches for Presentation

A well-dressed facial bed should look neat, inviting, and spa-like.

• Smooth all linens to remove wrinkles.

• Fold the top sheet down about 20–30 cm for easy client entry.

• If desired, add a small flower or scented towel for aesthetic appeal.

• Keep extra towels and tools arranged neatly nearby for efficiency.

Consistent presentation creates a luxurious client impression and builds brand trust.

4. During the Treatment

• Keep towels within reach for wiping hands or excess products.

• Replace any soiled sheet or towel immediately if product spills occur.

• Maintain temperature comfort with a blanket or heating pad if necessary.

A stable, silent facial bed like those from Huiyi Beauty ensures clients remain relaxed throughout the session.

5. After the Treatment

Step 1: Remove All Used Linens

• Discard disposable covers.

• Place reusable linens in the laundry bin for sanitization.

Step 2: Clean and Disinfect the Bed

• Wipe down the bed surface, frame, and accessories using a medical-grade disinfectant.

• Allow surfaces to air dry completely before redressing.

Step 3: Redress the Bed for the Next Client

Repeat the layering process starting from the waterproof sheet.
Consistency in this routine guarantees both hygiene and client confidence.

6. Maintenance Tips

• Launder linens at 60°C or above to kill bacteria.

• Rotate multiple sets of sheets to prevent fabric wear.

• Avoid using oil-heavy detergents that leave residue.

• Regularly check bed joints and mechanical parts for stability.

Huiyi Beauty facial beds are designed with adjustable height and reclining angles, simplifying cleaning and sheet changes between treatments.
