Choosing Your Shear Size:

One size does not fit all. Shears come in a variety of sizes from 5 to 7 inches to fit different needs of clients. It is common to see stylists working with multiple sizes of shears for various cutting techniques. The shorter length is ideal for precision cutting techniques, while the longer length is best for layer cutting techniques.

Knowing Your Hands:

Buying a pair of shears is like buying a pair of shoes. First, you need to know your size. Generally, the size of your hand determines the size of the shears. To ensure an optimal cutting experience, most shears should not extend over your palm.

Touching Points:

Every pair of ABOVE shears has 4 main touch-points:

• Point where the thumb touches the static handle.
• Point where the ring finger touches the dynamic handle.
• Point where the little finger touches the finger rest.
• Point where the first and middle finger touch the shank of the static handle.

There are 5 key elements to choosing the right shear. It should look right, weigh right, fit right, cut right, and be priced right.

Little Finger Matters:

Females tend to have shorter little fingers than males, so shears must be chosen accordingly. Attention should be paid to the shears’ finger rest. Generally, the shorter the little finger, the longer and wider the finger rest should be.

PALM and Fist:

Offset is where the thumb is at its most natural position. The palm’s width determines the shear’s offset, especially for hairdressers who like to palm the shear with a fist. The right pair of shears should fit the user’s hand ergonomically, as the wrong choice can lead to long-term damage like carpal tunnel and tendonitis.
