Hairdressing scissors require careful handling and proper use.
Even high-quality hairdressing scissors can wear out faster when used incorrectly.
Proper use helps:
• maintain cutting quality
• protect the cutting edge
• reduce mechanical wear
• extend the lifespan of the scissors
📌 Newly purchased scissors and tools immediately after sharpening require especially careful handling.
How to Use Scissors Properly
During work, it is
recommended to:
• avoid dropping scissors onto hard surfaces
• avoid leaving scissors open on the table
• avoid excessive pressure on the blades
• avoid using scissors on unsuitable materials
📌 Incorrect stress can damage the cutting edge and reduce cutting quality.
Use After Sharpening
After sharpening, the cutting edge is especially sensitive to stress.
During the first 1–2
weeks, it is recommended to:
• avoid heavy work
• prevent impacts and drops
• carefully control pressure on the blades
📌 During this period, the cutting edge goes through a careful “break-in” stage.
Storage and Transportation
During storage and transportation, it is important to protect scissors from impacts, moisture, and contact with other metal tools.
📌 Even minor damage can reduce cutting quality and damage the cutting edge.
What Is Important to Remember

depends on:
• careful use
