What’s so special about professional hairdressing scissors?

To hairdressers and barbers who are engaged in cutting hair on a daily basis, hair scissors have to be the most important tools of the trade. Also referred to as ‘hair-cutting shears’, these special professional hairdressing scissors that have specifically designed blades for cutting hair, manufactured from the hardest stainless steel. Hair-cutting shears are distinct as their blades are MUCH sharper than those of standard scissors. ‘Shears’ usually range in size from about 5 to 7 inches long, frequently featuring a finger brace or ‘tang’. This finger brace gives the hairdresser far more control when cutting. With practicality in mind, you may also wish to get hold of a scissor pouch to keep your tools protected and easy to reach – after all, you wouldn’t buy a mobile phone and not put a good protective cover on it!

Key features to look out for with professional scissors and shears…

Professional hairdressing scissors generally have two blades, a handle, a pivot and cut hair so what are the real differences between scissor ranges? Perhaps it is of primary importance when choosing hair scissors to find a pair which reduced hand fatigue as much as possible. It is also well worth considering size, which plays a big part in the type of hairstyle you can cut. When choosing a pair of scissors for use at work or home, consider which blade type you want, including bevelled and convex, along with the budget you have available. In light of these various differences, we are happy to explain the key differences between scissors. Knowledge is power and there is nothing more powerful than making an informed decision. The more information that you know about your tools, the better choices you can make.
