FRAMAR Hipster Salon Hairstylist Waist Belt with Shears Pouch, Professional Hair Stylist & Makeup Brush Belt

Love this I hate the aprons at work they make me feel like I’m being choked and always cover up my outfits so this is great and goes with everything

A cluttered color tray, a crowded color bar, leaving the shampoo bowl to get clips or a cap are what add time to my service; and we all know minutes equal money. I keep everything on me, I can move freely, and staying focused in so much easier when my workspace doesn’t get cluttered or I’m not walking away to get things I forgot or left behind. At the end of the night I reset my belt with everything I need for the next. I’m considering purchasing a second to use when I do blowouts to put the brushes in if I’m using more than one. It takes a little while to figure out how you want it set up, but it’s so worth it! I have everything prepared that I need so I don’t have to leave me guest (I even put in my notes what I need in my belt for each guest now) so I don’t have to leave. The salon I work in is crowded, so I can save 10 to 15 minutes by not having to run around at get things and that let’s me take another guest during the day! It’s wonderful! Get this belt and make it your own!!!

I'm a working stylist and I wear aprons regularly for work. I think this is a great product but it does have some issues, too. First the fabric is very nice. It's durable, waterproof, color proof, bleach proof, and thick enough that your shears likely wouldn't penetrate it. I love the overall size of the apron itself and the pockets, and the cash slot on the interior is particularly genius. I love the idea of not having the cash visible even when I have to lift it out a little bit to retrieve some change. The adjustable fit is also wonderful. As a plus-sized woman, it's refreshing to be included in sizing.The issues do start with the fabric though. It's hot. Very hot. It's 3 layers of quite thick faux leather and despite only being a hip belt, is actually hotter than my full body vinyl apron I normally wear. It feels like a cat taking a nap on my lap while I walk around.The pockets are also confusing. There's lots of storage, but it's almost like they didn't know what stylists would be storing and just made a bunch of pocket slits. I don't know about you, but I don't carry my color brushes around with me while working? My apron pockets and/or shear bag usually contain shears, combs, texturizing shears, dry shears, clips, and there's maybe a pocket that fluctuates between a brush, a random tube of color, whatever I may need at that moment. And my phone.With this apron, it's like I can't really efficiently keep those things onboard my person. The pockets have no division areas to keep shears upright, so they just clatter into the bottom of the pocket. Even with only one pair of shears in a pocket like this (but especially with two or more), it's not a safe or ideal way to store or retreive good expensive shears. The pockets are long, so combs fall over and just end up in a pile in the pocket rather than upright and easily grabbable.Even in the photo, you can see the model's phone does not really fit into the pocket. That's true to life; my phone would barely fit and even if it would, it would be highly visible. At my salon, we have agreed to keep our phones out of sight while working on clients, so this would not be acceptable.I do really like this hip belt overall and I think it's a well made product at a very reasonable price, but it wasn't a practical solution for what I need, which is a storage apron that could also replace my shear bag. It more than likely will be a perfect apron for someone else and it is well made enough to say I would recommend it without hesitation based upon quality alone.

From clips, combs, tools, tip money, so much more. This is really beneficial to stylist, keeping things orderly and in arms length keeps the service time less just by not having to find or figure out where to put something Down when our staitions can be tied up with their products for their service. Excellent for stage work, classes or workshops just by having all tools on you and in one place for easy access to change out tools during their survice. It’s also pretty deep with multiple size pockets.

Love then when I’m in the salon, very convenient for clips, combs , phone, brushes, money, when you move around a lot

Love this addition to my salon. This helps me keep organized and have all of my necessities right on me! I also love that it can be wiped down easily bc I am definitely a messy stylist. Framar always makes great products to make my life behind the chair easier.

One of the most useful item for cosmetology students 👍

I was so excited for this tool belt. I love the adjustable belt, I’m a tiny girl so a lot sometimes these style aprons will be baggy around my waist.The size of the pockets are a little stranger. I wish it was more constructed for stuff like a pair of shears? There’s a pocket that’s perfect for tips and/or your phone. I like that.The apron tore on one of the pockets on the first day of wear. That’s a bummer. Not enough to return it but it does suck.
