Every hairdresser needs the right tools in their kit to achieve great results. So what are they? Whether you're a newbie stylist or a seasoned pro, owning a variety of scissors can elevate your work. From general cutting scissors to specialised ones, building your collection is a must for professional growth. Let's get to it and explore these must-have hairdressing scissors in Australia.

General Cutting Scissors

A pair of general cutting scissors is the most basic essential tool in any stylist kit. Ideal for cutting both wet and dry hair and easy to use for clean cuts. Do you want to cut simple styles, straight cuts, and layered haircuts? Then this is the right tool. Are you new to hairdressing? Start with these scissors to set a solid foundation for your work. Already a pro? Upgrade your scissors to a premium pair. This will improve performance and lessen hand fatigue over the long term.

Thinning Scissors

Thinning scissors come in various designs. Each with specific uses for different hair types. A good kit should include thinning scissors designed for both fine and thick hair. These allow you to adjust the volume of hair while keeping the overall shape intact, creating softer finishes and more personalised looks for your clients.

Curved Scissors

Need to cut around the ears or nape of the neck? This type of scissors works wonders. After all, it's intended to work with the natural shape of the head. This makes it easier to achieve precise results in challenging areas. Do you want to add volume, shape, and definition to different hairstyles? Curved scissors will do the trick, especially when working with shorter hair. If you often find yourself doing detailed work, adding a pair of curved scissors to your kit is a smart move.

Left-Handed Scissors

Left-handed stylists will need to find proper tools. Because scissor design dictates natural hand positioning, lefty scissors are created to improve user experience. These scissors are designed to reduce strain ergonomically and allow stylists to work comfortably for extended periods of time. So are you left-handed? When you understand the importance of scissors in your profession, you will find that investing in specialised scissors makes all the difference between doing a good job or not.

Blending and Texturising Scissors

Blending or texturising scissors are needed for adding soft texture and fullness to hairstyles. This type of scissor has many teeth on one blade that gradually thins out hair, so you can manage precisely how much hair is snipped at a time. Working with fine hair? These scissors are an extra helpful pair. It stops you from accidentally snipping a huge chunk of hair at once, too.

Short-Bladed Cutting Scissors

Short-bladed cutting scissors are perfect for precision work. These have blades that usually range from 4 to 5.5 inches. They are lightweight and ideal for stylists with smaller hands. This makes them easier to control and reduces hand fatigue during extended cutting sessions. It's also great for those who focus on detailed cutting like slicing or point cutting.

Long-Bladed Barbering Scissors

These types of scissors are a must for barbering techniques like scissor-over-comb. They typically range from 6 to 7 inches. Allowing you to cut through more hair with one snip. This makes them perfect for blunt cuts or maintaining even lines. Their long length is particularly beneficial when working on straight haircuts, where consistency and smooth lines are crucial. These scissors provide the reach and precision you need for classic barbering styles.
