fair point (pun intended) on the length of the shears... but ive been standing behind the chair for 32 years & i refuse to use anything over a 5 inch blade... ironically, not to be argumentative of ur issue of cutting urself, but because when i go bigger is when i DO cut myself... but thank u, i enjoyed the video ...im a tool geek so uve got a new subscriber here

What was the length of the scissors that she used in U.S. measurements?

[@gogogoh9341]

2:07 yeah thats only possible if you can cut it in one time and depends on quality of that scissor i mean if you got brand new scissors that is possible but how long do you think that scissor gonna be like always new

What about left handed people? I can never use right handed scissors

[@danielwhelan4874]

You can get left handed ones. Most usually offer for left handed people

[@JoanKSX]

I saw Quartered Steel brand selling hair scissors for left-handed as well =)

[@michaelhelenethegirl]

Hanzo sells amazing lefties! Dry cutting shears also!

[@xavierlee99]

If you've mastered your craft, it's pretty impossible to cut yourself

[@ginakimble3326]

My 5 inch scissors are my favourite for precision cutting so I disagree with your opinion sorry

Thanks for NOT using the palm as a reference for proper length sizing.
The only time the palm comes into play is when their sectioning. the hair, comfortably holding their shear and effectively controling the comb .
As a product educator I use the stylist own training of "not cutting past the center of second knuckle"
No one opens their shears to 100%
Typically it's 80-90%.
I open the shear to that point. Using the tip of their middle finger, measuring from that intersecting point down to the center of their second knuckle . Most often a 5.5 inch shear.
Sizing a shear is a personal preference.. I'd advise a bit longer than a bit shorter .
Thank you for your knowledge in producing this video.
Mis information is rampant in our industry

I can't take advice from someone that isn't a barber or hairdresser
