Quality and Craftsmanship

At ABOVE, our mission is to provide shears that exceed expectations. Forged with pride and precision, these shears are handcrafted by skilled shear masters using proprietary cobalt steel and a customized ball-bearing system. Our team combines decades of experience in designing and manufacturing high-end shears for stylists, hairdressers, barbers, and groomers. We pride ourselves on creative design and a first-class manufacturing process, inviting you to join this journey of excellence in craftsmanship.

Choosing Your Shear Size

One size does not fit all. Shears come in various sizes, from 5 to 7 inches, to meet different client needs. Stylists often work with multiple sizes for different cutting techniques. Shorter lengths are ideal for precision cuts, while longer lengths are best for layering techniques.

Knowing Your Hands

Buying shears is like buying shoes. First, know your size. Typically, the size of your hand determines the size of the shears. Most shears should not extend beyond your palm to ensure optimal cutting.

Touching Points

Every pair of ABOVE shears has four 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 fingers touch the shank of the static handle.

Five Key Elements

Choosing the right shear involves five key elements: 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. Pay attention to the finger rest: 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 palm the shear with a fist. The right shears should fit ergonomically, as the wrong choice can lead to long-term damage like carpal tunnel and tendonitis.
