scissor handles

When choosing the right scissors for you, why are handles so important?

Hairstylists and barbers enjoy rewarding but physically demanding work that's as tough on their hands as standing all day is on their feet.

Long periods of cutting can lead to repetitive stress injuries affecting hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, and the scissors you use can strongly affect that.

So you want to buy professional styling scissors, but you aren't quite sure how to choose blade length, handle style, and materials they're made from. 

We teamed up with educators and scissors manufactures to try to break down that information for you in this styling scissors selection guide.
