What is a Freestylist

The Freestylist is a constant counterbalancing mechanism designed to support your hair dryers weight while you’re using it. It was invented to help stylists avoid and alleviate carpal tunnel, shoulder and arm problems associated with holding their dryers weight. A stylist uses their hair dryer like they normally do except now the dryer feels like it’s floating weightlessly in their hand.

The system totally eliminates all cord tangles. Cords tying themselves in knots, getting caught on the chair or client and the mess of cords on the floor are eliminated.

The system optimizes blow drying efficiency. In less than a second the stylist can have their hair dryer in their hand and running.

Benefits of the Freestylist

When the value of the Freestylist is fully understood it becomes a must have item in your salon. Stylists using the Freestylist knows it makes doing blowouts much easier. After 4-5 blowouts stylists arms start getting tired, with the Freestylist that doesn’t happen. The most common statement you will hear from a stylist that has been using the Freestylist is “I can’t do hair with a regular blow dryer any more”. This video helps explain the Freestylist.

  • Every stylist worries about carpal tunnel, rotator cuff, bursitis and repetitive stress syndrome. The Freestylist helps alleviate the pain and ailments of holding a 14-24oz hair dryer all day by making the hair dryer light as a feather. Your days of worrying about pain are things of the past.

  • Regular dryer cords get tangled, become a tripping hazard or just get in the way. The Freestylist manages the cord while you use it. No more tangles, no more tripping or strangling your client keeping your work environment clean and safe.
  • Studies have shown that with proper use of the Freestylist the dryer’s ‘on time’ is reduced by 7%. It is estimated that if all the stylists in the United States used the Freestylist it would save 100 million kilowatt hours of electricity every year. If the Freestylist were used worldwide it would save 1 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity every year. Because you can’t drop and break your dryer any more, they last much longer. This means we save our planet’s resources by not manufacturing as many new dryers and we save our landfills.
