FAQ's
Picking a length
5.5" is best for detail work and close precision cutting.
6" is the most popular all-around length. It works for most cutting styles and hand sizes.
6.85"-7" suits pros who do a lot of volume, big chops, or scissor-over-comb work. The long blade helps you move quickly through your work
Let's talk about the price
This is not a normal price for shears of this quality. Name brands charge 3x for the same build quality and metal.
Sometimes they won't even disclose the quality and you are buying Amazon-quality shears for a luxury price point. Criminal, we know.
We have sharpened thousands of shears. We know what holds up and what doesn't. Trust us when we say, these are top-quality, long-lasting shears with VG-10 or AG-16 steel and a ball-bearing tension system built to keep out hair and grime.
No fast dulling shears. No clogged shears.
What if I don't like it once I get it?
Your shears come with a 30-day happiness guarantee. If the shear isn't the right fit (wrong size, wrong feel, not what you expected) contact us within 30 days for a full refund. No runaround.
Every shear also carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
How long will the edge hold?
With proper care, VG-10 or AG-16 Japanese steel holds an edge for 800+ cutting hours.
For a full-time pro that's roughly 3–4 months between sharpenings. For part-time or color focused pros, closer to 6–8 months.
The signs it's time: Resistance that wasn't there before.

Do I need to do anything when it arrives?
Check the tension before your first use.
How to check: A properly tensioned shear should hold its own weight when the blade is opened to 90°. It should not close all the way shut, making a small peace sign ✌️
