Hairdressing scissors are an important tool for every stylist. A great style cannot be achieved without the help of professional hair shears.

The manufacturing process and blade material of hairdressing scissors play an important role in determining the quality of shears. In fact, blade material is the most critical and important factor when deciding which hairdressing scissor to buy .

If the blade material is of good quality, it will enhance the performance of your hair shears. The most commonly used materials in hairdressing scissors are:

  • Nickel And Cobalt Alloys
  • Triple Tempered 440 Stainless Steel
  • Molybdenum Alloy
  • Cobalt/Molybdenum Alloy
  • Japanese Hitachi steel (Super Steel)

Hairdressing scissors that are manufactured from Japanese Hitachi steel give your shears an edge that stay sharper, longer. They will give you many MORE years of life than the steel used in most modern shears. This alone could save you $70 or more per year in sharpening expenses.

Swivel Scissors for Haircutting

Posted at 4:42 AM • No Comments

Swivel Scissors are an excellent choice for haircutting. These hairdressing scissors are the most comfortable shears for stylists which not only cut hair but also prevent wrist problems.

Swivel Scissors were invented by the Japanese who came up with the swivel concept. These haircutting scissors keep your wrist straight in all cutting positions. Also, the rotating thumb ring allows the hairdresser to use the scissors at different angles without moving the hand or wrist into an awkward position.

The gap between the thumb hole and the finger hole allows free movement of your thumb. This advantage of Swivel shears creates the perfect alignment of your wrist and fingers, thereby preventing Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).

Swivel Scissors from ScissorBoy are designed to relieve tension on the barber’s wrist. They are ergonomically correct and fit comfortably in your hand. These hair shears also give you dynamic range of motion and more control over the scissor. This technology allows you to cut with angles at greater ease.

Some stylists are not comfortable with a Two Finger scissor. For them ScissorBoy Shear Comfort Scissor will be more beneficial as its Three Finger Control gives added support and dynamic range of motion.

If you are a stylist and suffering from wrist instability or arthritis of the wrist you should consider changing your haircutting scissors. Stressing the wrist is a major cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) which is a type of RSI. Once you get used to Swivel haircutting scissors, you will be able to produce smoother, faster, and more effective haircuts without wrist pain.

Hairstyles change as per the season. It’s totally understandable to get a little lax with your look in the summer. After all, what’s the point of hair and makeup if you’re just sitting around the pool? But with the arrival of fall, the whole warm-weather excuse goes away and it’s time to bring back a bit of the effort, right?

If you’re wondering whether your current look is up to snuff for fall, check out this quiz.

Women’s hairstyles are seeing the return of the retro look. It is incredible to note that the looks from the past decades are providing the inspiration for hairstyle trends in the coming season. Hairstyles from the ’20s and ’50s are serving as a model for women’s hairstyles this autumn and winter while lush bangs and luxurious textures of the ’80s are enjoying a comeback.

The Messy Updos, Side-Swept Waves, The Bowl Cut, Ballerina Buns or the new curly style are the fall trends in women’s hairstyles. The stylists are making use of different types of hairdressing scissors and curling iron to provide firmness to the long-layered hair.

Men’s hairstyles are still being dominated with the casual look as more and more men prefer to do their hair in quick time. The look of Robert Pattinson from the film Twilight, for example, best represents the slightly rakish just-out-of-bed style.

Structured cuts are defining the fall trends in men’s hairstyles. Various lengths create a rich texture, though overall the hair remains a bit longer. The cut looks natural when styled loosely at the back whereas if it is styled wildly; the hair has that famous just-out-of-bed look.

So get ready for this fall with natural hairstyles that don’t take much of your time and money. All it requires is a good hairstylist and a set of professional hair shears to get you ready for this exciting time of the season.
