Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Japan 440C is a high-carbon stainless steel alloy widely regarded as one of the best materials for professional hair scissors. Its exceptional hardness (up to 62 HRC in this model) means the blades hold a sharp edge far longer than standard steel, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. It also resists corrosion and staining, making it hygienic and durable for daily salon or home use.

Q: What is the difference between the cutting blade and the thinning blade?

A: The straight cutting blade is used for clean, precise cuts and trimming length, while the 12-tooth thinning blade (texturizing shear) removes bulk and adds texture without cutting a blunt line. Together, they allow you to shape, layer, and blend hair seamlessly — making this a true 2-in-1 professional tool.

Q: Are these scissors suitable for beginners or home use?

A: Absolutely. While these shears are professional-grade, their ergonomic handle and balanced 6-inch size make them accessible for at-home users as well. Beginners should start with the thinning blade to practice blending before moving to precision cuts with the straight blade.

Q: How do I maintain and sharpen these scissors?

A: After each use, wipe the blades dry and apply a small drop of scissor oil to the pivot point. Store them in a protective pouch to avoid blade contact with hard surfaces. When sharpness diminishes, have them professionally sharpened by a scissor technician — avoid household knife sharpeners, which can damage the fine edge of hair shears.
