Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Japan 440C steel a good choice for hairdressing scissors?

A: Japan 440C stainless steel is widely regarded as one of the best materials for professional hairdressing scissors. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, superior edge retention, and a high hardness rating (62HRC after ice-calcination treatment), which means the blades stay sharp longer even with frequent professional use.

Q: What is the thinning rate of these shears, and what does it mean?

A: These thinning shears have a 28-tooth blade that removes approximately 20–30% of the hair with each cut. This makes them ideal for adding texture, reducing bulk, and blending layers naturally without leaving harsh cut lines.

Q: Are these 6-inch thinning shears suitable for beginners?

A: Yes! The 6-inch size is a versatile and popular choice for both professional stylists and home users. The balanced stainless steel handle and moderate blade length make them comfortable and easy to control for a wide range of cutting techniques.

Q: How do I maintain and clean these hairdressing scissors?

A: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft cloth to remove any hair or product residue. Rinse with water if needed, dry thoroughly to prevent moisture buildup, and apply a small amount of scissor oil at the screw/pivot point to keep the action smooth. Avoid dropping the scissors, as this can misalign or chip the blades.
