## Abstract

A shampoo stand including a neck assembly, a joining assembly, and a support assembly. The neck assembly includes a support, a clamping lock, a strap, and a neck support, wherein the support fits into the open bottom of the mannequin head. The L-shaped neck support provides support to the lateral of the mannequin's neck and is secured by means of the strap that surrounds the mannequin's neck and is blocked by the quick-release mechanism of the clamping lock. The joining assembly includes a semi-rigid and flexible gooseneck, where the gooseneck can retain a predetermined position, thereby the mannequin head can be handled as the user considers appropriate by coupling the gooseneck to a suitable furniture by means of a clamp attached to a bottom edge of the gooseneck.
