Which blade length suits my work?
Measure from the tip of your thumb to the end of your middle finger. 5.5"–6.0" suits most salon work; barbers often prefer 6.0"–7.0". Each product page has the full size table.
What do the steel types mean?
Harder steels (higher HRC) hold an edge longer and cut cleaner, but ask for more careful handling. Softer steels are more forgiving to learn on. The specs on each product list the exact steel.
Do you offer left-handed scissors?
Yes — many pairs come in a true left-handed build with the blades and handle reversed, not just a flipped thumb ring. Look for the handedness option on the product, or ask us.
What if the pair isn't right for my hand?
You have 30 days to try it. If it isn't the right fit, return it for an exchange or a refund.
