Exoskeletons adapted for hairdressers

Exoskeletons adapted for hairdressers

Being a hairdresser means combining precision in movement, creativity, and physical endurance to provide quality service throughout the day:

  • Repeating technical and meticulous gestures, such as blow-drying, cutting, styling, or using a hairdryer, heavily engages the shoulders, arms, and upper back.
  • Working long hours in demanding positions, often standing, with arms raised or forward, in static or asymmetrical postures, significantly increases fatigue.

These repeated constraints put a strain on the muscular and joint systems, leading to pain, loss of endurance, and risks of musculoskeletal disorders.

The Hapo exoskeleton offers an innovative solution to relieve pain, reduce fatigue, and allow hairdressers to maintain precision, comfort, and performance throughout the day.

The problems of hairdressers and hairstylists

The activity of a hairdresser is often a source of fatigue and pain in the shoulders, neck, and upper back.

Focus on back pain

Back pain

Pain, stiffness, and muscle tension in the neck, cervical area, and upper back related to prolonged static postures and repetitive movements.

SHOULDER AND ARM PAIN

Muscle fatigue, pain, and loss of endurance in the shoulders and arms due to working with raised arms, blow-drying, cutting, and repetitive movements.

More than 80% of hairdressers report having suffered from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
