FAQ
Unlike household shears, salon blades feature ultra-sharp hollow-ground edges and precision-set pivots that glide without crunching hair. True professional hair-cutting scissors feel smooth from first closure and hold an edge far longer than household blades, delivering cleaner lines and less strain.
Some of the main types of hair scissors include straight shears that handle classic work, those with curved blades that shape creatively, texturisers that remove weight softly, and thinning scissors that blend lines. Barber hair scissors often carry longer blades for scissor-over-comb speed, while left-handed and swivel options suit individual technique.
Measure from tip to finger rest. Five-inch models suit detailing and small hands; six-inch covers everyday work; seven-inch reaches large sections and over-comb techniques. Pick the size that offers control without forcing your thumb beyond its natural range.
Some of the best materials for hairdressing scissors include high-carbon stainless steel, which holds a fine edge and stands up to repeated sanitation. Plus, cobalt and molybdenum alloys boost hardness, helping to stretch out sharpening intervals over time. Titanium coatings are another smart choice, as they fight corrosion while also creating a smooth, non-stick surface. Finally, many premium alloys are designed to resist chemical exposure from colouring agents and perm solutions, making them ideal for daily professional use.
Ergonomic designs offset finger and thumb rings or add swivels, allowing a neutral wrist and elbow. This reduces tension in forearms and shoulders, helping barbers maintain accuracy during long stretches. Removable inserts tailor the fit and prevent pressure points.
