Wobbly Clients: The Struggle is Real
by Pivot Point Product Experience Senior Manager, Jason Russell
If you’re in the beauty industry, you know the struggle of working with those clients who just can’t sit still. You find yourself chasing them around the chair, adjusting your stance every few minutes, and trying to keep your precision despite the movement. The same goes for educational workshops—nothing is more frustrating than working with a mannequin stand/tripod that wobbles, tips over, or just won’t stay put. It’s almost as bad as a client glued to their phone during an entire service! 😆
That’s exactly why I love Pivot Point tripods and holders. They’re an absolute game-changer when it comes to keeping that “client” (aka mannequin) in place during workshops.

Why Pivot Point Tripods?
The first thing that stands out about Pivot Point tripods is their sturdiness. Made from high-quality materials, they provide a solid, firm stance that stays put—no unexpected movements, no frustrating adjustments mid-style.
Another major plus? The built-in measuring system and level on each leg. Adjusting the height is quick and easy, saving you valuable time so you can focus on technique instead of setup.
The Feature That Changes Everything
One of the most unique and convenient features of Pivot Point tripods is their Swivel Base. Unlike standard tripods, where you have to lift and reposition the mannequin head manually, Pivot Point’s adjustable head lets you swivel effortlessly with just a pull of a tab. No need to pick up the mannequin or walk around the stand—just a simple click, and you’re ready to work from a new angle.
The Perfect Pairing
Let’s be real—why take the best mannequin in the world (Pivot Point 😉) and put it on a flimsy, wobbly, manually adjusting stand? A great mannequin deserves the best support. Combining a high-quality mannequin with a sturdy, well-designed tripod makes for the ultimate hands-on experience. That’s exactly why Pivot Point tripods and holders are my go-to for every workshop. Trust me—once you experience the difference, you’ll never go back!

Universal Tripod Customer Testimonials ★★★★★
“Top quality, sturdy and inspires control and confidence using it. All the bells and whistles without clutter. My favorite feature is the 360-degree top swivel with a locking mechanism. The mercury bezel is a nice touch, making sure that your tripod is leveled in addition to the numbered feet extensions that make it extra easy for leveling. Love it.” ~ elieferzli
“This is THE tripod. The price is absolutely justified because, in my opinion, no other tripod holds a candle in terms of features and durability. This thing is a tank, and the swivel is so helpful.” ~ Stephen Pierce
“I mean, there isn’t anything on the market compared to PIVOT POINT tools. I’ve tried to save on purchasing similar products 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 Griffith Mosley
“I’ve tried many tripods, and this is by far the best. It stays in place and is easily adjusted to meet varying height requirements. The tripod is sturdy and made of high-quality materials. It is definitely a worthwhile investment. The frustrations often associated with working with a mannequin on a tripod are virtually eliminated!!!” ~ N. Francois
“This stand is truly remarkable and outshines all previous stands I have purchased, which, unfortunately, turned out to be a waste of money. Had I known about this stand earlier, I would have saved myself the trouble. I highly recommend this product without any reservations. It is sturdy and well-crafted, and I especially appreciate the swivel feature, which has proven incredibly useful for cutting, styling, displaying, and making wigs. The user-friendly design makes it simple to set up and use. This is my second purchase, and I wholeheartedly endorse it. You will not regret investing in this exceptional stand. I am delighted to inform you that my first stand is still in pristine condition, a testament to its exceptional quality.” ~ Revon

Titan Tripod Customer Testimonials ★★★★★
“These tripods were used in the cosmetology school I attended. They are the absolute best. They are heavy duty, sturdy, they are not wobbly. The Bentley of tripods. Luxury at its best.” ~ Katrina Lynch
“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!” ~ da0627
“After suffering through the typical beauty school-issued mannequin stands and finding the ones from Amazon happened to be so un-sturdy. I decided to treat myself and upgrade to this one. I’m kicking myself for not getting it sooner and can’t imagine ever going back to the cheaply made stands again. I really like the swivel function and how adjustable it is, as I am only 5’2” and can adjust the tripod so that I’m not hurting my body while doing long hair designs. Hands down recommend this to anyone looking for a better tripod!!” ~ Robyn Hoover
“This tripod has elevated both my experience as a student and as an educator. It’s light-ish weight for how luxurious it looks, which makes it easy to tote around. My favorite feature is that the headstand spins. This allows me to stay stationary while rotating the head right to where I need it in a matter of seconds. Making my stage presentation flow seamlessly.” ~ Victoria
“Literally THE Cadillac of ALL tripods. I am so OBSESSED. It has ALL the things you never even knew you needed. I always feel super cool whenever I use it, and I’ve had it for almost a year. If you are on the fence about this tripod because of the cost – please believe me when I tell you that it is worth EVERY. SINGLE. CENT. So in love!” ~ bohemianmusebygem
