The success of any hair-style relies on the skill of the hair stylist. He needs to possess the imagination to transform a plain hair cut into a glamorous hair style with which the client would be proud to show off. As such, the hairstylist should be able to determine which particular hair-style suits the client's face shape and personality. He should also be equipped with the knowledge of how great hair-styles are achieved, and so he must have undergone proper training. Surely one would not trust serious style matters with inexperienced hair stylists!
And in order to aid the hair stylist in carrying this out, he needs the appropriate hair styling tools. Topping the list is of course, the faithful pair of hair scissors.
A salon expert generally employs several kinds of styling instruments, depending on the style he would want to achieve. Without the hair scissors in hand, the stylist cannot do as much as counting hair strands. Hence, hair scissors are the basic instruments with which the stylist could carry out hair wonders.
Choosing what styling tool to use typically depends on the stylist's purpose. Some types are designed for shaping thicker hair masses, alternately used with a comb in order to thin out the hair strands. Some scissor types, on the other hand, are equipped with convex blades. This type is especially designed for trimming full-bodied hair. It could also be a helpful tool in shaping up heads of hair with stiff curls.
There are also long tail hair scissors, which experienced beauticians use to cut long, straight hairs. This type could also be used in trimming bangs, as requested by the client or as a mere embellishment to the cutting process.
Given that there are a variety of types to choose from, each according to a specific purpose, it is necessary for the stylist to be able to identify the hair type he is dealing with, and to determine the best hair-style which would perfectly suit his client.
Given the options, the hair stylist must always choose with discretion.
