Choosing Your Shear Size:

Shears come in various sizes, typically ranging from 5 to 7 inches, to meet different client needs. Stylists often use multiple sizes for various cutting techniques. Shorter lengths are ideal for precision cutting, while longer lengths are best for layering.

Knowing Your Hands:

Selecting the right shear size is crucial. Similar to buying shoes, you need to know your size. Generally, the shears should not extend beyond your palm to ensure optimal cutting performance.

Touching Points:

Each pair of ABOVE shears features four main touch-points:

• Thumb touches the static handle.
• Ring finger touches the dynamic handle.
• Little finger touches the finger rest.
• First and middle fingers touch the shank of the static handle.

Key Elements:

Five key elements define the right shear: it looks right, weighs right, fits right, cuts right, and is priced right.

Little Finger Matters:

Since females often have shorter little fingers, attention must be paid to the finger rest. The shorter the little finger, the longer and wider the finger rest should be.

PALM and Fist:

Offset design ensures the thumb is in its natural position. The palm’s width determines the shear’s offset, especially for those who palm the shear with a fist. The right pair of shears should fit ergonomically to prevent long-term damage such as carpal tunnel and tendonitis.
