Best Professional Hairdressing Shears
Everyone wants to be a pro. It usually takes 10,000 hours of practice to be a master performer in any field.
But apprentice hairdressers need not put in the hard yards before enjoying success. A set of professional hairdressing shears will make those thousands of hours of hair cutting easier. All hairdressers deserve to use high quality shears for safety and productivity.
What are the best shears for a hair stylist?
All hair stylists no matter what level they’re at – new or experienced – need high quality, professional shears. While there are plenty of ‘professional shears’ on the market, we’ve always maintained that they need to be manufactured from the highest quality of steel. We only stock Japanese or German steel handmade shears.

What type of shears can I buy online?
You can buy all kinds of shears online. From the comfort and safety of your home, you can choose a new set of shears and have them delivered in no time at all. Whatever you can dream of (and no doubt more) in professional shears you can find online.
Best of all, Scissor Tech makes online shopping risk-free. With a generous returns policy of seven days, you can try out the scissors before deciding if they’re right for you.

Why are premium hair cutting shears so expensive?
There’s no denying professional hair cutting shears aren’t cheap. Like all good quality products, you pay a little more for the best. The higher price tag comes with peace of mind that your shears will stay sharp longer, offer a better cutting experience and have a long life. No one wants to buy a pair of hair shears that only last a year or two of professional hair cutting before they’re rendered useless.
The main reason for their price is the quality of material. Scissors are made from high grade steel. To achieve a razor sharp edge on the blade, scissors are made from cobalt-infused hardened steel.
The saying ‘you get what you pay for’ couldn’t be more accurate with professional shears. The good shears aren’t cheap but at least they’ll give you a quality cut and stay in good form for many years.
