Barber scissors are specifically designed for cutting hair and differ from regular scissors in several ways, including:
- Blade design — Barber scissors typically have longer blades than regular scissors, with one blade having a straight edge and the other having a serrated edge. This helps improve grip and prevents hair from slipping during cutting.
- Blade sharpness — Barber scissors are sharper than regular scissors and can easily cut through hair.
- Handle design — Barber scissors have ergonomic handles that provide a comfortable grip to reduce hand fatigue — this is especially important for hairdressers who see multiple clients throughout the day or spend long hours using scissors.
- Versatility — Barber scissors come in various sizes and styles, allowing hairdressers to choose the best pair for different hair types, styles and cuts.
- Longevity — Barber scissors are designed to be durable and long-lasting, with high-quality metals used in their construction. This is ideal for hairdressers who rely on their tools to perform their job effectively.
