The advantages of premium hairdressing scissors:
​
Durability: Hairdressing scissors crafted from premium hardened steel ensure superior performance and longevity. With proper care, these scissors can serve you for up to 20 years. When premium scissors require sharpening, it's important to ask if the sharpener can maintain the convex edges. If they cannot, it's vital that you don’t allow them to sharpen your scissors.
​
Longevity: Due to the harder steel, premium hairdressing scissors require less frequent sharpening compared to mid-range and budget scissors. On average, they will benefit from sharpening every 10 months, to ensure optimal cutting efficiency.
​
Long-term cost savings: Investing in premium hairdressing scissors leads to fewer replacements and less sharpening, resulting in significant financial benefits in the long run.
​
Comfort and reduced fatigue: Premium hairdressing scissors boast lightweight construction, excellent balance, modern ergonomic designs and comfortable finger rests. They effectively reduce hand and wrist fatigue during extended hours of use.
​
Corrosion resistance: Premium hairdressing scissors are meticulously crafted using only the finest materials, guaranteeing exceptional resistance to corrosion.
​
Premium parts: High-quality hairdressing scissors come equipped with premium and often replaceable parts. The superior centre screw assemblies ensure that the scissors maintain tension for much longer compared to lesser-priced options.
​
Control and versatility: Professional convex hairdressing scissors provide smooth control, allowing hairstylists to work with different hair types and textures. They can handle a wide range of cutting techniques and styles.
