Shears

Hair shears are sharp scissors made for cutting hair cleanly. Choose a length that feels comfortable in your hand, keep them only for hair and store them dry so the edges stay sharp. Sharp edges give cleaner, neater lines.

Choosing hair shears

  • Straight shears: for general trims and blunt cuts.
  • Thinning or texturizing shears: remove bulk or soften lines.
  • Length: shorter blades give control for bangs and detail, longer blades suit longer cuts.

Check the feel

The handles should sit comfortably in your hand, and the blades should glide without catching. Adjust the screw tension so the blades meet cleanly without wobbling.

Care

Wipe the blades after use, keep them dry and add a drop of tool oil as the maker directs. Store them in a case, and use them only on hair so they stay sharp.

When to sharpen or replace

If shears start to chew hair or leave uneven ends, they may need professional sharpening. Dropped shears can lose alignment, so handle them with care and store them closed.

Questions about hair shears

Can I use hair shears on paper or fabric?

No. Cutting anything other than hair dulls the edges quickly.
