Choosing Your Shear Size:

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

Knowing Your Hands:

Buying shears is like buying shoes. 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 beyond 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 fingers touch the shank of the static handle

Key Elements:

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. Therefore, 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 design places the thumb in 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 pair of shears should fit ergonomically to prevent long-term damage like carpal tunnel and tendonitis.
