Scissors and razors
Even if you are not a professional hairdresser, scissors are essential tools to have at home.
Depending on the use you want to make of them, you can decide to opt for a more or less elaborate model.
The different types of scissors and their functions
Before choosing your pair of scissors, it is necessary to know the type and function of each model in order to acquire effective but above all useful equipment.
Here are the different instruments you will find on the market:
- Straight and classic to suit all cutting styles
- Micro-serrated for thick and dense materials
- Curved for delicate areas around the ears
- Sculpting for creating voluminous cuts
- Thinning for reducing hair thickness
As an "amateur hairdresser," we advise you to opt for a simple and effective pair with medium-sharp blades.
Which pair of scissors for which use?
Once you have your new model, you can use it for all sorts of tasks: refreshing a hairstyle or fringe, but also trimming damaged ends. If you are not used to handling this type of tool, we advise you to make an appointment with a professional for a perfectly straight and symmetrical result.
Finally, don't forget to check whether your pair of scissors is designed for left-handed or right-handed users. Indeed, brands like Beautélive and Exthand now adapt to all kinds of situations to guarantee you comfort of use.
Do not hesitate to visit one of our 22 stores to try on a few pairs to make sure that the handle shape suits you, or that it is not too long.
A little tip: each model offered here is for hairdressing only. To cut your fingernails and toenails, we recommend you make your choice in our "Manicure accessories" category to have a suitable tool designed for this purpose.
