INTRODUCTION: The work of a hairdresser is quite strenuous and requires the activity of all muscles, especially the extremities. Due to prolonged standing in unnatural positions and constant work with the hands, musculoskeletal disorders associated with work often occur. The main goal of the research is to investigate the health status among hairdressers in Republic of Croatia with regard to the musculoskeletal symptoms caused at work. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research was conducted through an online questionnaire completed by 122 respondents. The questionnaire consists of 57 questions (completions, short answers, multiple answers and one answer) and requires a few minutes to complete. The online questionnaire was designed in the Google Forms application where the answers were automatically processed. RESULTS: out of 122 respondents, all answers met the conditions for participation in the research. The obtained results provide data on the presence of symptoms of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in hairdressers in the Republic of Croatia. More than half of hairdressers begin to feel the first symptoms at work at the end of the shift. Training and coming to a massage have the effect of reducing the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders caused at work by hairdressers in the Republic of Croatia. CONCLUSION: The health status of hairdressers in the Republic of Croatia has been impaired due to the presence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The obtained results indicate the need to educate hairdressers about musculoskeletal disorders, changing work habits and lifestyle. Unfortunately, due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, it was not possible to conduct the second part of the study, which was designed in the form of exercise with subjects and monitoring the reduction of symptoms, measuring at the beginning and end of the study.
