Everyone wants to be a pro. It usually takes 10,000 hours of practice to be a master performer in any field.

But apprentice hairdressers need not put in the hard yards before enjoying success. A set of professional hairdressing shears will make those thousands of hours of hair cutting easier. All hairdressers deserve to use high quality shears for safety and productivity.

Why are premium hair cutting shears so expensive?

There’s no denying professional hair cutting shears aren’t cheap. Like all good quality products, you pay a little more for the best. The higher price tag comes with peace of mind that your shears will stay sharp longer, offer a better cutting experience and have a long life. No one wants to buy a pair of hair shears that only last a year or two of professional hair cutting before they’re rendered useless.

The main reason for their price is the quality of material. Scissors are made from high grade steel. To achieve a razor sharp edge on the blade, scissors are made from cobalt-infused hardened steel.

The saying ‘you get what you pay for’ couldn’t be more accurate with professional shears. The good shears aren’t cheap but at least they’ll give you a quality cut and stay in good form for many years.

 

Hairdressing Shears That Are a Cut Above

For the pro hairdresser who wants a set of shears in the highest possible quality steel, the VG10 is the one. The lightweight shears use a mountain blade that helps with pushing the hair on to the cutting edge and makes for a rigid pair of shears you can use for point cutting, feathering and texturizing. A quality tension system makes the shears comfortable to use.

The set includes:

5.5 inch matte black VG10 shear
6 inch matte black VG10 shear
6 inch matte black VG10 thinning shear
