FAQs
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed individuals?
The Kiepe PRO CUT 5" Barber Scissors are designed for right-handed use. Left-handed models would typically be specified differently.
What material are the blades made from?
The scissors are made from professional-grade steel, known for its durability and ability to hold a sharp edge.
How often should I oil my scissors?
It is recommended to oil the pivot area of your scissors weekly or after significant use to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
Can I adjust the tension on these scissors?
Some Kiepe models feature adjustable tension screws. If your model has one, you can adjust it with a tension key. However, if unsure, it's best to have a professional make adjustments.
What is the warranty on these scissors?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided at the time of purchase, as warranty terms can vary.
How do I clean the scissors after use?
Wipe the blades thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove hair and any styling product residue. Avoid using water or solvents.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close.
Apply a small amount of scissor oil to the pivot screw and work the blades back and forth. If stiffness persists, the tension may need professional adjustment.
Blades are not cutting cleanly.
Ensure the blades are clean and properly lubricated. If the issue continues, the scissors may require professional sharpening.
Slight resistance when cutting thicker sections of hair.
This is normal for 5-inch scissors. For very thick hair, it may be more effective to cut smaller sections or use larger shears if available. Ensure the scissors are aligned correctly.
