Start Here: Choose and Care for Salon Scissors

Buying your main cutter?

Start with the buyers guide. Write down the length, hand and handle you prefer, then compare the actual variants in the cutting collection. If you are buying a pair, check the thinner size as well as the cutter.

Learning a new technique?

Use the cutting technique hub for slide cutting, point cutting, over-comb and texture work. Apprentices can work through the short practice checklist one technique at a time.

Choosing a thinner?

The thinning guide compares blending with more visible texture. Tooth count helps narrow the options, but test a light pass on the hair you are cutting.

Caring for your kit?

The maintenance guide covers cleaning, drying, pivot oil and signs a scissor needs professional service. When a new tool arrives, use the arrival checklist before its first cut.
