FAQs

What material are these scissors made from?

The Purplebird Hairdressing Scissors are made from premium Japanese 440C stainless steel.

What is the size of the cutting blades?

The cutting blades are 2.5 inches long, on a 6-inch shear.

Are these scissors suitable for beginners?

Yes, they are designed to be easy to handle and suitable for beginners, as well as professional stylists and home use.

How often should I lubricate the scissors?

It is recommended to lubricate the pivot area periodically, especially after cleaning or if you notice any stiffness in operation.

Can these scissors be used for thinning hair?

While these are general hairdressing scissors for cutting, Purplebird also offers specific thinning scissors if that is your primary need.

How do I adjust the tension on the scissors?

You can adjust the tension using the adjuster screw located at the pivot point. Turn it clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen.

What is the benefit of the ergonomic design?

The offset handles and bent thumb help reduce overextension, relaxing your elbow and wrist for greater comfort during use.

Troubleshooting

Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Check the tension screw. It may be too tight. Gently loosen it using the adjuster screw. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point.

Hair is getting split or unevenly cut

Ensure the blades are clean and properly aligned. Check the tension; it might be too loose. Adjust the tension screw to be slightly tighter. If the problem continues, the blades may require professional sharpening.

Scissors are not cutting cleanly

Wipe the blades clean and ensure they are dry. Check the tension and adjust if necessary. If performance does not improve, professional sharpening may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from high-quality Japanese 440C stainless steel for superior sharpness and longevity.
  • Ergonomic design with offset handles and a bent thumb reduces user fatigue.
  • Ball bearing system allows for precise tension adjustment.
  • Quiet operation due to the high resilience muffler.
  • Suitable for a wide range of cutting tasks and hair types.

Cons

  • May be heavier than some users prefer for prolonged use.
  • Requires careful handling and maintenance to preserve sharpness.
  • The 6-inch size might be less maneuverable for very detailed or intricate work compared to smaller shears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These scissors arrive pre-lubricated and ready for use. Before the first use, check the tension by gently opening and closing the blades. If adjustment is needed, use the provided adjuster screw to fine-tune the tension until the blades glide smoothly but with slight resistance.

Compatibility: These shears are universally compatible with all hair types (thick, thin, wet, dry) and can be used for overall styling or partial trims.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove hair and product residue. For stubborn residue, use a cloth lightly dampened with water or a specialized shear cleaner, then dry thoroughly.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of shear oil to the pivot area to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Wipe away excess oil.
  3. Storage: Store the scissors in their protective case or a dry, safe place to prevent damage to the blades and avoid accidental contact.
  4. Sharpening: For optimal performance, have the scissors professionally sharpened when they begin to feel dull, typically after extensive use.
