FAQs
What type of steel is used in these scissors?
The scissors are crafted from a superb grade of Japanese steel, known for its strength and ability to hold a fine cutting edge.
Are these scissors suitable for all hair types?
Yes, the Glamtech Barber Stylist Pro Scissor is designed to be effective on all hair types and textures due to its sharp, hand-crafted edges.
How often should I oil my scissors?
It is recommended to oil the pivot area daily or weekly, depending on how frequently you use the scissors. This helps maintain smooth operation and prevent rust.
Can I adjust the tension myself?
Yes, you can adjust the tension using a scissor adjustment tool. Be gentle and make small adjustments to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the blades.
What is the benefit of the offset design?
The offset design positions the thumb ring slightly forward, allowing for a more natural and relaxed hand position. This promotes a tension-free grip, reducing strain on the stylist's hand, wrist, and arm.
How should I store my scissors to protect them?
Store your scissors in a protective case or sleeve to prevent accidental damage to the blades. Avoid storing them loose with other metal tools.
Troubleshooting
Scissor feels stiff or difficult to open/close
Apply scissor oil to the pivot screw and work the blades gently. If the issue persists, the tension may be too tight; adjust the tension screw slightly counter-clockwise.
Scissor is cutting unevenly or snagging hair
Ensure the blades are clean and properly oiled. Check the tension; it might be too loose. If the issue continues, the blades may be damaged or dull and require professional sharpening.
Rust spots appearing on blades
Clean the blades immediately with a soft cloth and a rust-removing polish specifically designed for scissors. Ensure the scissors are dried thoroughly after use and properly oiled for storage.
