Choosing the Right Shear Size:
Shears come in sizes ranging from 5 to 7 inches, catering to various cutting techniques and stylist preferences. Shorter shears are perfect for precision cutting, while longer shears excel in creating layers and larger sections. Stylists often use multiple sizes for flexibility in their techniques.

Understanding Your Hands:
Selecting the right shear size is like choosing the perfect pair of shoes—it starts with knowing your size. Shears should generally align with the length of your palm for the best cutting experience. Most shears should not extend beyond your palm to ensure comfort and control.

Touchpoints on Above Shears:
Each pair of ABOVE shears features four critical touchpoints:

1. Where the thumb touches the static handle.
2. Where the ring finger contacts the dynamic handle.
3. Where the little finger rests on the finger rest.
4. Where the first and middle fingers meet the static handle’s shank.

These touchpoints are carefully designed for optimal ergonomics and precision.

The Five Key Elements of the Perfect Shear:
The ideal shear should:

1. Look right.
2. Weigh right.
3. Fit right.
4. Cut right.
5. Be priced right.

Little Finger Considerations:
Women often have shorter little fingers than men, making the finger rest a critical feature. A shorter, wider finger rest provides the needed support for a better cutting experience.

Ergonomics and Offset Design:
Offset designs position the thumb naturally, reducing strain and improving comfort. The width of the palm plays a crucial role in determining the appropriate offset. A poorly chosen shear can lead to long-term issues like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis, so selecting the right pair is essential for maintaining hand health and longevity in your career.
