Salon Scissor Types

Pick your focus

Jump into the scissor style that matches the service in front of you.

• Convex edge cutters — the go-to for precision, slide cutting and dry detailing.
• Bevel edge workhorses — forgiving everyday scissors that thrive on wet cutting and blunt lines.
• Thinning and blending shears — control bulk, blur lines and finish fringe transitions without chewy texture.
• Texturising shears — carve movement, carve weight and keep shags looking intentional.
• Swivel thumb designs — ergonomic lifesavers when your wrists are screaming by Thursday.
• Left-handed scissors — true lefty steel that protects wrists and line of sight.
• Long blade barber shears — 7" precision for fades, flat tops and beard detailing.
• Detailing & short blade cutters — compact control for fringes, curls and pixies.
• Chunker shears — rapid bulk removal for shags, curls and lived-in cuts.
• Crane handle scissors — keep elbows low and wrists calm through marathon shifts.
• Double swivel scissors — full thumb rotation for serious ergonomic relief.
• Razor shears — razor-soft texture with scissor control.
