As a privately owned family company, the core of Pivot Point’s business is its people. We are committed to our employees’ well-being. We want to ensure that manufacturers with whom we partner share our values and ethical standards for their employees.
Pivot Point proactively requested SA8000® certification from our contracted hair-manufacturing factory to ensure the quality of goods matches the well-being of the artisans who create them. The SA8000 certification affords our partners the confidence that our educational hair goods are produced in sanctioned conditions.
SA8000® certification solidifies a commitment to human rights by guarding against the use of child and forced labor, discrimination and unfair disciplinary practices, working hours and compensation.
We measure hair at a 90-degree angle from both the front and nape, providing a true and consistent measurement. Click here to learn more!
The Pivot Point hair medium is warranted to the original purchaser for a period of one year from the original date of purchase, under normal use and service against defective material or workmanship. Under normal use, some hair loss is to be expected and would not be considered defective. Learn more about our 1-year product warranty and 30-day return policies.
Cheap mannequins may seem like a cost-saving option, but they often create more problems than they solve. Low-quality hair typically won’t absorb color properly, leading to inconsistent or unrealistic results. Many are blended with synthetic fibers, which can dull professional shears faster and even melt when exposed to heat tools.
They also introduce bad habits into your training. Issues like backward hair implantation, incorrect density, and unnatural distribution mean you’re not practicing on something that reflects real client hair, making it harder to translate your skills behind the chair.
There are also hidden costs. Many professionals end up buying separate “mannequin shears” just to protect their primary tools, which defeats the purpose of trying to save money in the first place.
Finally, ultra-low-cost mannequins often lack transparency in how they’re made. Choosing higher-quality options from brands aligned with ethical standards—such as SA8000—helps ensure better working conditions, responsible sourcing, and a product you can trust that wasn’t created using forced labor.
Investing in a quality mannequin protects your tools, improves your results, and ultimately supports your growth as a professional.
