Spa Industry Trends 2026 | Nail & Pedicure Chair Innovations

Written By Jeanne Vidar

The spa and nail salon industry continues to evolve—and 2026 is shaping up to be a year of elevated experiences, smarter investments, and stronger competition. Clients are no longer just booking services; they’re choosing salons that offer comfort, luxury, cleanliness, and consistency.

For salon owners, this means one thing:
Keeping up with industry trends is no longer optional—it’s essential.

Let us break down the top spa industry trends for 2026 and show how upgrading the right equipment—especially pedicure chairs, massage beds, and spa furniture—can help your business grow.

1. Luxury Is the New Standard, Not an Upgrade

What was once considered “high-end” is now the baseline expectation.

What clients expect in 2026:

  • Plush seating and ergonomic support

  • Quiet, smooth massage systems

  • Premium upholstery and modern finishes

  • A relaxing, spa-like atmosphere

Clients associate comfort with professionalism. If your pedicure chairs feel outdated, clients notice—even if your service is great.

  • Smooth technician workflow

  • Clean, modern design

Clients are more likely to:

  • Leave 5-star reviews

  • Rebook consistently

  • Recommend your salon

Better equipment = better experience = higher lifetime value per client

3. Multi-Functional Equipment Is in High Demand

Salon owners are prioritizing equipment that does more.

Trending in 2026:

  • Pedicure chairs with built-in massage
