Hit 100 haircuts in a single week last month and my wrist still hurts

I blew past my old record of 78 cuts in a week because of a walk-in rush and a no-show barber, and I swear my joints are telling me I need a better grip technique or some serious stretching before shifts; has anyone else hit a number that made them rethink their setup?

Oh wow, 100 cuts in a week is insane. Your poor wrist. But I gotta say, the math on that is rough even if you didn't hit 100 exactly. You said you beat your old record of 78, so even if you're at like 95 or 99, that's still a crazy jump in one week. Your body wasn't ready for that kind of load, and it's showing. The bigger issue isn't your grip or stretching, it's that you crushed that many clients without a break. Maybe try capping your daily limit or scheduling a half hour buffer next time a rush hits. Your joints won't thank you later if you keep doing that.

Reminds me of my buddy who bragged about running a marathon with zero training. How's the wrist feeling now?
