FAQs
Are these scissors suitable for left-handed stylists?
The Artero One Dark 7in Scissor has a fixed finger rest and is designed for right-handed use. Left-handed models are typically sold separately.
How often should I oil the scissors?
It is recommended to oil the pivot point of the scissors daily or at least after every few uses. This ensures smooth operation and longevity of the blades.
Can I use these scissors for thinning or texturizing?
Yes, the razor edge allows for effective texturizing techniques such as point cutting and slicing.
What is the benefit of the PVD coating?
The PVD coating is hypoallergenic, making the scissors suitable for individuals with nickel allergies. It also adds durability and a sleek black finish.
How do I clean the scissors effectively?
Wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For disinfection, use a professional hairdressing tool disinfectant, avoiding harsh chemicals or soaking.
What maintenance is required for Japanese steel scissors?
Japanese steel requires regular cleaning, oiling, and professional sharpening to maintain its edge and performance. Avoid dropping or using them for unintended purposes.
Can these scissors cut very thick hair?
These scissors are optimized for medium to fine hair densities. For very thick or coarse hair, other scissor models designed for heavier work might be more suitable.
Troubleshooting
Scissors feel stiff or difficult to open/close.
The tension screw may be too tight. Slightly loosen the screw using a screwdriver and test the movement. Ensure the pivot area is clean and oiled.
Scissors feel too loose and don't cut cleanly.
The tension screw may be too loose. Slightly tighten the screw and test the movement. Ensure the blades are clean and aligned.
Hair gets caught or snagged during cutting.
Check the sharpness of the blades; they may need sharpening. Ensure the tension is correctly adjusted and that you are using appropriate cutting techniques for the hair type and scissor design.
Skin irritation occurs after prolonged use.
While designed to be hypoallergenic, ensure hands are clean and dry before use. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist. This is rare with the PVD coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Artero One Dark 7in Scissors come pre-adjusted. The adjustable screw allows for fine-tuning the blade tension. To adjust, use a small screwdriver to tighten or loosen the screw slightly.

Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove hair and product residue.
- Oiling: Apply a drop of professional scissor oil to the pivot area regularly (e.g., daily or weekly depending on usage) and work the blades to distribute. Wipe off excess oil.
- Disinfection: Use a disinfectant specifically designed for hairdressing tools. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the scissors, which can damage the coating and steel.
- Storage: Store the scissors in a protective case or pouch to prevent damage to the blades and prevent accidental cuts. Keep them dry and away from moisture.
