With 2 in every 3 hairdressers and barbers suffering from at least one severe work related injury at some stage in their career it's statistically highly likely that you will too. There are many factors contribute to these injuries from the constant use of your hands, elbows, shoulders and back to being on your feet all day every day. However, of all these causes non have a more detrimental impact than restrictive and poorly designed professional scissors handles which lead to severe injuries such as RSI, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tendonitis.
