When cutting hair you're using very specific areas of your body on a daily basis – your fingers, hands and wrists – repeatedly, often replicating the same movements over and over again.
If the movement of using your shears means that you have to reach your thumb back towards your ring finger then this stretches the thumb tendon. When you’re doing this repeatedly, every day, it creates a lot of stress and inflammation.
You may also find that you have to hold your elbow high to cut, resulting in an unnatural stance that puts pressure on neck and elbows.

Shoulder/neck pain gone!
The swivel has made it so that I am cutting with my elbow down and therefore eliminates strain on my shoulder & neck. I'm glad I finally made the investment!
Imagine cutting hair pain-free! It's possible with Sam Villa shears. The ergonomic forward set thumb position on Sam Villa shears forces your elbow down while you cut, eliminating neck and shoulder pain.
