Sounds like repetitive strain disorder I got it as a nail technician

You will most likely have it whilst training but be very careful you need t give those muscles a break so it dosent get worse the only way to stop it is to take breaks if you do it too much it won't go away and when you keep doing it it comes back you may find hairdresser not for you sooner than you think due to pain

It'd be worth seeing a physical therapist to get some advice in how to reduce the pain and strengthen the muscles.

It's likely the hairdressing, but the tendon that runs to your middle finger, runs directly from the shoulder. When I had pain in my middle finger, a PT identified that the pain was transferring from problems in my shoulders/posture, and gave me some exercises to help.
