subject: Comprehensive Inforamtion about Hair Scissors [print this page] The most important tool in the hands of the hair-styling professional is hair scissors. A hair salon cannot run without its scissors. In the market there are a wide variety of scissors available including kitchen scissors, paper cutting scissors, sewing scissors and more. However, none of them can be used by the hair-stylist to cut hair, and only the ones that are marketed as hair cutting scissors can be used. For a smooth and easy cut, the sharpness of hair cutting scissors is very important.
The handle of the hair scissors is another important factor. The left handed cannot be forced to use scissors meant for right-handed people. In the market, hair cutting scissors are available that have been designed especially for left handed hair stylists. The handle grip also determines whether a hair-stylist is able to give the perfect cut or not. The opposing grips should be selected if middle finger is used to style a hair, and if the ring finger is involved, it's better to use offset grips. Also, if the hair-stylist faces the problem of muscle tension on the wrist, or shoulders, while cutting hair, it's a good idea to go for crane grips. These scissors can also be selected based on thumb grip. A cutaway thumb grip offers more comfort, while anatomic thumb grip provide wider movement, and rotating thumb grip reduce thumb movement. The standard hair scissors feature removable and reversible grips.
Quality is important when it comes to buying hair scissors and as all quality products, they may cost more than the ordinary ones. However, hairstylists must remember that this investment is going to serve them for a long time. Rather than buying one or two scissors, it's a good idea to buy a complete set of scissors before opening a hair-salon. The right hair cutting scissors ensure a big client list.
