Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is ATS314 stainless steel and why does it matter for hairdressing scissors?

A: ATS314 is a premium Japanese-grade stainless steel alloy widely used in professional hairdressing and barber scissors. It offers excellent hardness, sharpness retention, and corrosion resistance — meaning your blades stay sharp longer and resist rust even with regular cleaning and sanitizing in a salon environment.

Q: What is the difference between cutting scissors and thinning shears?

A: Cutting scissors (straight blades) are used for clean, precise length cuts and blunt cuts. Thinning shears feature serrated or notched blades (this model has 26 teeth) that remove bulk and weight from hair while leaving a natural, blended finish — ideal for texturizing, layering, and reducing volume without creating hard lines.

Q: Which size should I choose — 5.5", 6.0", or 6.5"?

A: The right size depends on your hand size and cutting style. The 5.5" is great for detailed, precision work and stylists with smaller hands. The 6.0" is a versatile all-around choice popular with most professionals. The 6.5" suits stylists who prefer a longer blade for larger sections and broader cutting strokes.

Q: How do I maintain and clean these professional hairdressing shears?

A: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove hair and moisture. Periodically apply a drop of scissor oil to the pivot screw to keep the action smooth. Avoid submerging in water for extended periods. Store in the included case or a dry pouch to protect the blades from dulling or damage.

Q: Are these shears suitable for beginners as well as professional barbers?

A: Yes — while these scissors are built to professional standards with ATS314 steel and 26-tooth thinning blades, the ergonomic handles and adjustable tension make them accessible and comfortable for beginners learning thinning and texturizing techniques at home as well.
