What should you align when cutting hair to maintain good ergonomics?

Maintaining good ergonomics while cutting hair is crucial for both the stylist's comfort and effectiveness of the service provided. When your legs are hip-width apart, it helps to stabilize your body and maintain balance while moving around the client's chair. This stance allows for better posture and less strain on the lower back, as it promotes a neutral spine position.

A wide stance offers a solid base that supports proper alignment of the entire body, reducing the risk of injury over time, which can be particularly important for professionals who spend prolonged periods standing. In contrast, other options may not provide the same level of support or stability during various cutting and styling movements, which can lead to awkward posture and potential discomfort.
