Hairdressers put high demands on their tools, needing long-lasting, sharp, and reliable scissors that meet these criteria. Jaguar scissors meet this standard perfectly – ideal for beginners and price-sensitive consumers.

Clayton recommends Equinox Professional Razor Edge Japanese Stainless Steel Shears, which have over 11,000 five-star reviews and are relatively cost-effective. Their crane design ensures natural gripping to reduce hand fatigue.

Scissors

Hairdressers employ various kinds of scissors depending on their style of cutting hair. Some are ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue; Crane shears, for example, feature a straight blade with an ergonomic thumb ring that angles downward to accommodate natural hand position – ideal for hairdressers experienced with cutting long locks. Swivel scissors with rotating rings may also help relieve hand and wrist pain when used appropriately.

Thinning shears with teeth on one blade are ideal for thinning bulk and creating soft lines. Texturizing shears feature larger spaces between their teeth to quickly remove more significant sections of hair at once for an instantaneous textured effect.

Blades

Quality haircutting scissors feature blades with various angles and sharp edges, which can become damaged when dropped on hard surfaces or banged together with other instruments. To protect these sharp blades from being damaged, keep your shears safely in their original box or on a scissor mat when not being used.

There are three primary blade types found on hairdressing shears. One of the most widely used of these blades is the flat bevel blade due to its lightweight and easy usage; another option would be a curved convex blade perfect for slide cutting and texturizing purposes.

If your shears feel off when opening and closing them, this could be due to improper tension settings. Adjust this by pressing on the thumb ring while closing them; this should push any excess metal back onto their non-cutting edge so they feel more normal again and allow you to get back to work as soon as possible! This test also gives an excellent indication of whether saving them may be worthwhile!

Handle

Your scissors’ handle significantly affects both ergonomics and comfort throughout the day. It should allow you to cut while keeping your wrist and shoulders straight, without fatigue or finger grazes from repeated use.

There are various handle designs, with some more comfortable than others. A classic handle is exceptionally ergonomic; its symmetrical construction enables you to cut with both thumb and middle finger without bending them at angles that could cause carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injuries. Crane handles and offset handles are also popular options, featuring shorter thumb handles than finger handles, allowing users to lower their elbows. Crane and offset handles also tend to be more comfortable than traditional shears, which force users to bend thumb and finger angles at an unnatural angle, leading to discomfort over time. Other advanced handles may include twister, flex, and swivel options that reduce hand fatigue by enabling users to rotate the thumb ring freely, decreasing hand fatigue and injury over time.

Length

Hairdressing scissor’s blade lengths should be chosen based on your preferred haircutting techniques. Shorter shears work best for precise point cutting, while longer-bladed shears work better with broad techniques like weight lines, wedge cuts, blunt cuts, or thinning.

A 6-inch pair is an ideal size for most barbering and hairdressing techniques such as weight lines, wedge cuts, blunt cuts, and thinning, as its longer blade helps ensure consistency, decreasing the risk of crooked lines in finished hairstyles and increasing efficiency compared with shorter shears – perfect choices when working on large sections such as full bobs or graduated haircuts!
