Precision Scissors have a more narrow ended blade then any other type of hairdressing scissors. When the blade is narrowed, this is where the Precision name comes into play. With a narrow ended blade you are able to precisely cut those bangs.

Slide Cutting Shears
Ever wondered when watching other hairstylists or even a celebrity hairstylist slide cut, that it appears they are Slide Cutting with much more such ease than you? This may be because they are using specific Slide Cutting Shears that are designed to slide cut and are super sharp shears. To slide cut bangs with such ease would not only cut down on cutting time, it will create the most beautiful and even blend any professional hairstylist strives to cut.
Slide Cutting Shears create partly a similar result to a razor sharp cut with your razor, but in other ways it's so much better. Razor cutting is recommended on wet hair and can result in split ends when the hair dry's. A slide cutting shear is suitable for wet and dry cuts and won't leave the client with split ends.
A razor can leave the hair textured on the ends and appear thicker (most likely from the damage). Where a Slide Cutting with a Slide Cutting Shear will feel finer on the ends and smoother because these scissors are much sharper than a razor.
Slide Cutting Scissors are traditionally made from Japanese Steel as the scissors are made from a softer steel that only a Japanese steel type can provide. Most scissors are made from harder steels and a harder steel is tougher to slide cut with.
Say no more.. If you enjoy slide cutting and don't slide cut with slide cutting shears, I guarantee that once you try slide cutting scissors.. you will be ruined for life and never want to slide cut with anything but these shears again.
Thinning Scissors
Thinning Shears are nicknamed the "Finishing Shears" as they can finish off and blend perfectly with any blunt haircut. We love them so much to cut bangs because they can take the weight out of a heavy fringe or create that desired wispy bangs look.
Some hairstylists may even decide that trimming bangs with their Thinning Shear ,so they can get that really feather look without having to use different types of scissors. Other hair stylists would prefer to finish with these scissors on dry hair after the length has been cut off with traditional salon shears.
We know that most hairstylist's would own a pair of Thinning Shears which is great, so really this is a friendly reminder to those how not to get some as you will use them for every type of client! Especially those Bang-tastic clients.
Texturizing Scissors
Texturizing scissors are not for the faint hearted, but they are for the brave, creative and most of all the confident hairstylist. A Texturizing Shear is designed to finish off any look or bangs with the maximum texture.
If you're not confident using a Texturizing Shear then we recommend not practicing on a client's bangs but a dummy head first. If you are confident with Texturizing Shears we know that you would say loudly and proudly that the wispy texture you can achieve with you Texturizing Shears on your clients bangs, is really like no other shear.
So if you love that mullet look that is at the moment in hairstyles and adventurous bangs then this hair shear will honestly change your life. For real.
