In the world of hairdressing and barbering, tools are everything. No matter the size of your salon, investing in all essential tools is a must. From professional hair clippers to professional combs, every item plays a vital role in creating the perfect look for clients. One tool that stands above all others in importance is the professional hair stylist scissors. The cornerstone of a hairstylist’s craft, professional hairdressing scissors offer control, versatility and unbeatable finesse.
Professional hairdressing scissors are not just regular scissors. They are purpose-built to create clean and precise cuts that define a hairstyle’s final look. Unlike the general household scissors, professional salon scissors are engineered with sharp blades made from the finest quality steels that glide through hair effortlessly. In this blog, we will take a closer look at the variety of Vega Professional hairdressing scissors and an insight into the 3 essential factors that your salon should consider before buying any hairdressing scissors.
Understand the Different Blades and Cutting Edge
Professional hair cutting scissors come with a wide range of blades that are carefully designed to cater to different haircuts. Not all hair types and textures are the same and hence, your salon business should have hairdressing scissors with different blades. For instance:
· Scissors with wide teeth such as Vega Professional Goldwings 30 Thinning Gold Line Hairdressing Scissor is designed to smoothly thin out thick and coarse hair. The teeth of this type of scissors offer the convenience to cut a good amount of hair in every snip, saving you time and effort.
- Scissors with slightly convex blades and pointed cutting angle, such as the Vega Professional Black Titan 6" Black Line Hairdressing Scissor from the Black Line series, is perfect for effortlessly cutting and chopping thin to thick hair.
- Similarly, there are scissors with Short Blades that prove wise for hairdressers with smaller hands for being lighter in weight and easier to control. Then there are scissors with Long Blades that ensure offering a straight cut without chances of curves.
Keep a Lookout for the Length of the Professional Scissors
When it comes to the sizes of barber scissors, you cannot compromise on the same. Every hairdresser has different hands sizes, techniques and choices of holding scissors to cut hair of clients. To measure the length, check the size right from the tip to the end of the hole without the finger rest. Next, place the scissors on your palm while the finger hold touches your thumb’s base. This will assist you in determining the optimal size wherein if the blade's tip is near the center of the last section of your middle finger, it is ideal. Additionally:
- Many expert hairdressers also use scissors with longer blades to cut hair lengths through a comb by precisely aligning for the perfect cut.
- Since the best scissors for hairdressers have blades that are evenly proportioned, it makes it easier to handle the hair portions along with a long-bladed scissor conveniently.
- If you use the technique of cutting small increments of hair for precision, then the hair-cutting scissors should reach a few inches beyond your index finger and the finger openings should be wide enough for effortless movement of your fingers.
Never Underestimate the Ergonomics of Hairdressing Scissors
