🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue
🐥
Piyo: Poppo, why do so many stylists have back and wrist problems?
🦉
Poppo: Biomechanics. Standing 8+ hours, arms raised to head height, repetitive wrist movements with scissors and dryers โ it's a recipe for musculoskeletal disorders. Studies show 50โ70% of hairdressers report work-related MSK pain. Anti-fatigue mats, adjustable chairs, and stretch breaks every 2 hours are not luxuries.
🐥
Piyo: What about skin problems?
🦉
Poppo: Occupational contact dermatitis affects up to 50% of hairdressers at some point. Barrier cream before chemical work, proper gloves, and hand-care moisturiser after washing are prevention. Once dermatitis develops, it often becomes chronic.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful โ a salon that protects its stylists is a salon that keeps its best talent.
