How Zero Flex Got Started

Concerned by the increasing evidence of Beauty Parlor Stroke Syndrome, two Milwaukee area physicians put a great idea in action and began to develop the Zero-Flex Hair Care System.

The Zero-Flex product was initially designed to help save the lives of women who are at risk of stroke due to the inappropriate positioning of the head and neck – Neck HyperExtension – during traditional salon washes.

As the product was developed, additional applications have been discovered:

• Prevention of musculoskeletal discomfort from Neck HyperExtension
• Use for disabled and wheelchair-bound clients
• Use by home based stylists
• Reduction of workers' compensation claims by stylists

Growing medical and legal evidence indicates that prevention of Neck HyperExtension will become an increasingly important issue for salons. The Zero-Flex product is an effective and affordable way to help salons protect themselves and provide a safe and comfortable salon experience for their clients and stylists.


Our Mission

• Increase awareness of the risks, to you and to your clients, of prolonged Neck HyperExtension

Neck HyperExtension is a medical malady caused by incorrectly positioning the neck into shampoo bowls and backwash stations for shampoos, rinses, and processing.
