Timeline

Pivot Point Textured Hair Mannequin Cameron

"His hair is dense, full bodied, and a dead ringer for Afro texture"

I have purchased several of the Cameron mannequins. To say that he is a perfect representation of “our” texture is an understatement. His hair is dense, full-bodied, and a dead ringer for Afro texture in the flesh. Other mannequin makers don’t even compare. I will continue to buy again and again. Go ahead, buy it! You won’t be disappointed!

– Cedric Brown

"Buy cheap, you buy twice"

I mean there isn't anything on the market compared to PIVOT POINT tools. I tried to save on purchasing a similar product from Amazon and was totally disappointed. I should've followed my first mind... "buy cheap‚ you buy twice." YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED with this tripod!

– Chantele M.

"We only use Pivot Point mannequins"

The best quality hair on a mannequin. Their mannequins have realistic features and the mannequin hair is great to practice everything from cuts to color services and even perming/relaxing. We only use Pivot Point mannequins for salon education for the quality they always provide.

– Morgan

Michelle - 100% Human Textured Hair Mannequin

"The Rolls-Royce of educational tools"

I went to a Pivot Point school and later taught for over 35 years. Pivot Point has by far the BEST system of educating professionals. The mannequins are the Rolls-Royce of educational tools. I have mannequins I bought in the 1980’s that are still usable and useful.

Pivot Point Professional Tripod w/Swivel Base

"No wobbly heads here"

This tripod is unlike ANY that I have previously had! It’s solid and sturdy. No wobbly heads here. It also adjusts heightwise from two different points to adapt to not just even numbered heights. If you desire customized options for your tripod... this is the one!

– Demonica Allen

"The quality is amazing"

Ingrid was my first mannequin purchase and I am beyond thrilled with it!! The quality of this head is amazing, minimal to no shedding, colors beautifully and styles perfectly for what I need it for!

– Courtney P.

"Perfect for visual learners"

The possibilities are endless with these sketch heads! It’s great because they stick to the dry erase board so well. Perfect for visual learners. My favorite part is how easily cleaned they are. Windex or soap and water & good as new.

– Cedric Brown

"For sure worth the money"

My first time buying a Pivot Point mannequin head and for sure worth the money. The actual shape of Samuel‘s head and texture of the hair makes it very realistic to working on an actual live model. Will be buying again. Thank you!

– Alex Razo

"All the bells and whistles without clutter"

Top quality, sturdy and inspires control and confidence using it. All the bells and whistles without clutter. My favorite feature is the 360 degrees top swivel with locking mechanism. The mercury bezel is a nice touch making sure that your tripod is leveled in addition to the numbered feet extensions that makes it extra easy for leveling. Love it!

– Elie Ferzli

"She remains my prized mannequin"

I absolutely adore Ingrid! She was my first *fancy* mannequin and I have been totally in love since I got her back in May of 2020. While shedding is to be expected, I feel like she has done really well with retention and health through minimal shampooing, uses of heat protectants, and lots of hydrating oils. She remains my prized mannequin even after two years of heavy use.

– Amelia Thorp

"All other imitator products are just that"

I’ve used Pivot Point tripods for many, many years. This model is really great with the swivel base to rotate the head easily and the telescopic legs that never break. There are little spikes hidden in the rubber feet when you need more traction on soft surfaces. The carrying case zippers are durable and it easily fits in the airplane overhead bin! All other imitator products are just that, none compare to real Pivot Point tools! Invest in quality tools and they will last a long time.

– Robert Banyaga

OMC Hairworld Gold Sponsor Pivot Point Natalia Mannequin

"My favorite for online tutorials"

Beautiful mannequin. Natalia has perfect hair density and texture. My favorite for online tutorials, styling, and updo practice.
