Abstract
A standalone hair washing sink includes a body coupled to a ground surface of a building and extending upwardly from the ground surface. The body defines a water channel extending between an upper portion of the body and a lower portion of the body at the ground surface and the water channel is in fluid communication with a drain at the ground surface and is sized to accommodate and provide access to long hair during a hair-washing process. An opening extends upwardly from the lower portion of the body toward the upper portion of the body and exposes a lower portion of the water channel. A receiving area at the upper portion of the body is shaped to comfortably receive and support a head or neck of a user.

A hair washing sink suited for long hair, the sink comprising:
- a body coupled to a ground surface of a building and extending upwardly from the ground surface, the body defining:
- a water channel extending between an upper portion of the body and a lower portion of the body at the ground surface, the water channel being in fluid communication with a drain at the ground surface and sized to accommodate and provide access to long hair during a hair-washing process;
- and
- an opening that extends upwardly from the lower portion toward the upper portion and exposes a lower portion of the water channel;
- and
- a receiving area at the upper portion of the body shaped to receive and support a head/neck of a user.
A hair washing sink suited for long hair, the sink comprising:
- a sink body positioned over a floor drain and defining:
- a base coupled to a floor surface and at least partially surrounding the floor drain;
- an upper edge having a head receiving area opposite the base and shaped to receive a head/neck of a user;
- and
- a discontinuous gap that extends from the base toward the upper edge.
A hair washing sink comprising:
- a body coupled to a ground surface of a building, the body having:
- a discontinuous side wall, the side wall:
- extending upwardly from the ground surface toward an upper edge of the body;
- defining a water channel with a lower portion substantially at the floor surface and sized to accommodate and provide access to long hair during a hair-washing process;
- and
- defining a discontinuous gap extending upwardly from the ground surface toward the upper edge sufficiently sized to allow a cleaning portion of a standard-sized broom to enter the lower portion of the water channel;
- a drain in fluid communication with the water channel;
- and
- a head/neck support shaped to substantially contour a head/neck area of a user.
