Daily Medical Benefits:

Professional hair dryers weigh as much as a hammer, so blow drying all day causes fatigue and strain. By eliminating the weight of the dryer, the Freestylist reduces the strain associated with holding the dryer. With less strain, there is less stress on joints and muscles. The stylist no longer needs a firm grip on the dryer, only using fingertips to point the dryer. The stylist’s hand, wrist, arm, neck, and shoulders are less tired and knotted at the end of a long day, allowing the stylist to work at full capacity and full energy level all day, every day.

 For those stylists already suffering from repetitive stress injuries, the Freestylist is a godsend. It alleviates their pain and discomfort while styling. Some stylists who could no longer tolerate the pain associated with holding a hand-held blow dryer are now able to resume blow drying again.

 Long-term Medical Benefits:

Prolonged use of hair dryers throughout a stylist’s career often results in injuries from repetitive stress syndrome (RSS), carpal tunnel syndrome being one specific type of RSS.

 47% of stylists surveyed experienced pain and discomfort they attribute to holding hair dryers.

-      Many suffer from pain while working.
-      Some are faced with the difficult choice of limiting their hours because of severe pain.
-      Many stylists are forced to end their careers prematurely because of the debilitating effects of carpal tunnel or other repetitive stress injuries.

 Anecdotal evidence suggests that stylists comprise a significantly large portion of orthopedic patients who undergo surgery for repetitive stress injuries.

 Because the Freestylist alleviates the stress on your joints and muscles, in the long run, it reduces a stylist’s risk factors for developing repetitive stress injuries.

 We believe the Freestylist is a powerful tool in helping stylists prolong their careers.

 Don’t become a statistic… use a Freestylist!
