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 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! There are a wide variety of professional scissor brands available in the UK and we feature most of them on this website.
