Invented behind the chair.

The inventor

Brooke Fischer

Brooke Fischer is a working hairstylist — still behind the chair every week — and the founder of Brooke Fischer Designs in Palm Beach, Florida. Her clientele is the island's: discerning, demanding, and more than a few names you'd recognize. That's where the standard gets set, and it's where she kept running into the thing nobody talked about: the foil is a rectangle, and the head is not.

She's hungry and she's relentless. Seven years of sketches, samples and a notebook full of what if — and a U.S. patent that finally issued in July 2026. The drive comes from a simple place: she wants to make something people genuinely love to use, that's better for the stylist's hands, the client's color, and the planet. Off the clock she knows how to unplug — which is exactly why she has no patience for tools that make the workday harder than it needs to be.

So she changed the shape. ContourFoil is the tool she wished the industry had already made: an angled edge that follows the hairline, folds exactly like the foil she already uses, and wastes less metal doing it. Her notebook says it best: “When cutting corners is a good thing.”
