An automated apparatus for selectively directing solutions onto the hair and scalp of a person while the individual is sitting in a semi-reclining position. The apparatus is constructed so it may give a wetting action to the hair and scalp prior to directing shampoo onto the hair and scalp for a predetermined length of time, to direct rinse water thereonto, and if desired, a selector switch may be moved to a position to direct a neutralizing rinse or the like onto the hair and scalp. Then the hair and scalp may be rinsed again with water, if desired, and if desired, a color treatment solution may be directed onto the hair and subsequently rinsed with water, all in timed sequence without the patron or an operator touching the hair and scalp. A timer is provided which has a cam to actuate a switch to energize a solenoid valve and pump to automatically drain the system when the operation is completed. The timer is provided which will go through the sequence of operations and stop, and which cannot be restarted until a patron is in the proper position within the cabinet and the housing closed and a start switch is closed to initiate a new operation.
