If you are not a hairdresser, but an amateur, then scissors for you are "two rings, two ends and a nail in the middle." But a professional is very scrupulous about choosing a tool for work. How to choose hairdressing scissors?
Instructions
Step 1
Always choose from several models. Hold the scissors in your hands, try them in motion. Carefully, without rushing anywhere, choose the option that suits your characteristics and personality. Ideally, when buying, it is good to try to cut something with scissors.
Step 2
Pay attention to how comfortable you are with the scissors. The tool should not cause discomfort. Remember that you will need to hold the scissors in your hands all day long. Sometimes, for ease of use, the scissors are equipped with special inserts for rings. This allows not only to reduce or increase the diameter of the holes, but also to avoid skin contact with metal and professional calluses.
Step 3
The handles of the scissors can be different: classic or asymmetric. The offset rings help relieve muscle tension in the fingers when performing certain types of work.
Step 4
Pay attention to the strength and smoothness with which the scissors open and close. It is important that the tool makes a high-quality cut, does not bite the hair. It is good if there is an adjustable screw in the center. The perfectly tuned scissors will lock in any opening position where the master stops them.
Step 5
Examine the material the instrument is made of. The harder the steel, the longer the life of the scissors. The addition of chromium and nickel helps prevent rust. Vanadium and molybdenum are added for durability and strength. Chrome and titanium coating ensures hypoallergenicity. The use of silver and gilding is of a decorative and applied nature.
Step 6
Determine for which types of work you are purchasing the tool. Universal scissors allow you to make a sliding cut technique - they are smooth canvases. Thinning scissors can be with teeth of different widths, allowing you to create a stepped and thick haircut. The straight cut tool is made with a micro cut to prevent the hair from slipping on the canvas.
Step 7
Pay attention to the design and cost of the scissors. A professional tool cannot be cheap. However, sometimes you need to understand that the cost can be increased due to the aesthetic component of the scissors. On average, the price of a professional tool ranges from 2,000 to 5,000 rubles.
