OUR BACKGROUND
Jonty Olivier and Janie Tongue are former salon owners who have experienced first-hand, stylists suffering in pain from tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome brought about by using non-ergonomic tools. That was their driving force in bringing ERGO Styling Brushes to the UK in October 2023 from the USA where the brand is highly respected and a leader in its sector.
Their mission is to help hairstylists extend their careers, be pain-free and recognise that ergonomics is a vital part of a healthy career.
ERGONOMICS UNITED was borne from a passion in helping professional hairdressers, whether seasoned or just starting out on their career, to be aware of stance, self-well-being and usage of the correct tools. The best tool for the job (and your body) may not be the bright orange or leopard print version after all!
Are you a salon or college mentor? Our education programme, 'Your Body is Your Business' is an absolute must for a career with less pain. Your stylists and students will forever be thankful to you for sourcing this class which will enhance not just their blow drying technique but also hone both their awareness of ergonomics and social media presence. Amazingly affordable education for your entire team is just an email or phone call away. Contact us today and ask about ERGONOMICS UNITED EDUCATION.

A MESSAGE FROM ERGO USA
"The best ideas for hair styling brushes come from hair stylists. It’s quickly obvious to most hair stylists that many brushes presented and available to them are flawed. Most are simply copies of something else. At ERGO, we don’t copy anyone or anything. We innovate.
We have visited thousands of hair salons to observe hair stylists while they work. This has allowed us to ask questions such as, “what would make that brush work better and faster for you?” and “what new looks are you creating, so we can develop new styling brushes for you?”
For example, we have learnt from micro-hand surgeons that gripping a brush with a hard, smooth handle contributes to tendonitis and from this, we developed our famous silicone textured handle, which helps eliminate hand fatigue. Our extended lightweight barrels, about 20% longer than other brushes, remain perfectly balanced and means you can take wider sections which in turn means a faster finish.
The ergonomic benefits that professionals love so much will help you finish your style faster, with less fatigue, and with that famous long-lasting ERGO shine!
Choosing ERGO Styling Brushes will deliver ease of use and superior performance, which is why we are the leading choice of stylists “in the know”.
