Cutting shears

Your cutting shear is the one you reach for all day, so it's worth getting the fit right. This page lists every cutting shear we carry, from all five makers, in one place. Start with your hand: left-handed stylists should pick a true left-handed model or a left-hand option. Next, the length. Most salon stylists settle on 5.5 or 6.0 inches; go shorter for detail work around the face and longer for scissor-over-comb. Then the handle: offset if you like your elbow low through a busy book, classic if you cut with an open hand. Use the filters to narrow by hand, length and maker, and open two or three product pages side by side. Every page lists the edge, steel and what's in the box, priced in Canadian dollars and shipped to your door.
