Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose what shears to buy?
Start with a good quality of steel. Next, make sure they fit your hand, select the length you normally use and then look for a handle style that feels good. Your shears should not cause strain or stress to your hand, thumb and write or forearm while cutting.
How long before I need my shears sharpened?
While most scissors will last 4-6 months between sharpenings, the actual time will depend on how well you take care of them with proper maintenance.
The number of haircuts you can expect from each sharpening varies widely. The major factors that have an impact are the quality of steel, how you take care of your shears and the amount of dry hair, dirty hair, chemically treated hair and course hair you cut. Each of the foregoing will reduce the number of cuts you can expect. Proper daily care will maximize your shears' performance.
