A mounting system for a shower head includes a mounting bracket mounted to a pipe passing through a shower wall, wherein the pipe is part of a shower that delivers water to a shower head. A telescoping arm is affixed to the mounting bracket through a multi-directional joint at a first end of the telescoping arm. A shower head holder is affixed to a second end of the telescoping arm by way of an adjustable joint. The multi-directional joint is formed to rotate and pivot relating to the mounting bracket so that the telescoping arm may be rotated and pivot toward and away from the shower wall in three dimensions.
