Remove Old Upholstery.

Remove Staples and Tacks.

To remove the old upholstery, first remove all of the staples and tacks holding it in place. A flathead screwdriver or a similar tool can be used to pry the staples out. Once all of the staples are removed, use the same tool to pull out any remaining tacks.

Measure and Cut New Fabric.

Once the old upholstery is removed, measure and cut the new fabric to size. Make sure to allow for some extra fabric so that it can be stretched over the foam padding.

Attach New Fabric.

Stretch Fabric Over Foam.

Begin by stretching your new fabric over the foam. Make sure that the fabric is taunt so that there are no wrinkles. Once the fabric is in place, use a staple gun to secure it to the underside of the chair.

Stapling New Fabric In Place.

Start by stapling the fabric in the center of one side of the chair. Then, work your way out towards the corners, making sure to pull the fabric taut as you go. Once all four sides are complete, trim any excess fabric with a sharp knife or scissors.

Trimming Excess Fabric.

Use a sharp knife or scissors to trim away any excess fabric from around the edges of the chair. Be careful not to cut too close to the staples or you may damage the new upholstery.

Reattach Arms and Footrest.

Secure Arms with Screws.

Using a screwdriver, reattach the arms of the chair to the frame. Make sure the screws are tight so that the arms are secure.

Attach Footrest.

Attach the footrest to the frame of the chair using screws or bolts. Again, make sure that these are tightened so that the footrest is secure.

Old, worn-out upholstery can make a barber chair look shabby and uninviting. Reupholstering the chair is a quick and easy way to give it a fresh, new look. In less than five minutes, you can remove the old upholstery, attach new fabric, and reattach the arms and footrest.
