The best scissors for beginner hairdressers and barber

If you have decided that you want to go into the barbering and hairdressing industry, you know that it is a rewarding career that allows you to make your clients feel better every time they put themselves in your hands. For this reason, you should think about the tools you will use and that the most important of them will be a good pair of scissors. However, you should know that not all scissors are the same, and that for each cut you need a special pair of scissors.  

The first thing you should know is that there are two types of hairdressing scissors: straight scissors and thinning scissors. Straight scissors are used to cut straight hair, while thinning scissors have teeth on a blade and are used to texturise the hair. In addition, there are multiple features in raw materials and different finishes.

Leaf Scissors have been designed by hairdressers for hairdressers and are made with the best steel. After a lot of hard work, the balance point has been modified, which makes them light, and it is because of this detail that you won’t even notice the hours of work going by. Likewise, the modification of the thickness of the blades makes the thumb work with precision, which helps to avoid arching the arm, thus eliminating tension in the wrist.
