They are crafted from high-grade 440c stainless steel with titanium handles.
Are these scissors suitable for all hair types?
These scissors are ideal for fine to medium hair sections and are versatile for cutting, thinning, and texturizing. They may not be the primary choice for extremely thick or coarse hair.
What is the benefit of the titanium handle?
The titanium handle is lightweight, durable, and ideal for individuals with nickel allergies, providing a comfortable and hypoallergenic grip.
How should I maintain the scissors to ensure longevity?

Can I use these scissors for texturizing techniques?
Yes, the razor edge and sharpness make them suitable for various texturizing methods, including slide cutting.
What does 'razor edge' mean in the context of scissors?
A razor edge refers to a very sharp, finely honed blade that allows the scissors to 'slice' or 'slide' through hair effortlessly, minimizing damage and ensuring a clean cut.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or don't close smoothly
Clean the pivot area and apply a drop of scissor oil. Ensure no hair is trapped in the pivot.
Cutting is not clean or is snagging
The blades may require professional sharpening. Ensure you are using the correct cutting technique for the hair type and desired style.
Discoloration on blades or handles
Wipe clean immediately after use. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or dyes. Ensure the scissors are dried thoroughly after cleaning.
