Help & FAQs about scissors

Micro-serration in scissors refers to a special structure on the cutting edge of the scissors blades. Tiny, barely visible teeth are incorporated into the cutting edge. These fine serrations ensure that the material being cut—such as hair, fabric, or paper—is better held and prevents slippage.

Micro-serration is a major advantage, especially for hairdressing scissors or fabric scissors : It enables precise, slip-free cuts and improves control during cutting. However, it should be noted that micro-serrated scissors are usually only ground on one side and are not as easy to resharpen as smooth scissors. They are therefore ideal for controlled cuts, but not suitable for techniques like slicing.

The right scissors size depends on hand size and intended use. For hairdressing scissors , the blade length should be approximately the length of your middle finger, and the overall length of the scissors should fit the palm of your hand. Women often prefer 5 to 5.5-inch scissors, while men often choose 5.5 to 6-inch scissors.

Yes, there are scissors specifically designed for left-handed people. These have blades positioned so that left-handed people have a better view of the cutting line and the scissors fit ergonomically in the left hand. This allows for more precise and comfortable cutting.

Regular care extends the life of your scissors:

• Wipe with a soft cloth after each use.
• Occasionally lubricate the screw connection with a drop of oil.
• Store in a dry and protected place, ideally in a case.
• If the sharpness decreases, have it resharpened by a specialist.

Features of high-quality scissors are:

• Use of stainless or rust-resistant steel.
• Clean cuts and precisely crafted blades.
• Comfortable handles and balanced weight distribution.
• Even and clean cut without pulling or tearing.

Thinning scissors : Have serrated edges on both blades and remove about one-third of the hair.

Styling scissors : Have teeth on only one blade and a smooth edge on the other, which allows them to grasp more hair and are better suited for shaping.
