HAIR CUTTING TOOLS

1. All Purpose Shears.

best suit the size of your hand. This will help to cut hair neatly, quickly and efficiently. The
best way is to hold the pair of scissors with the thumb through one handle and the third

are scissors that are specifically designed for cutting hair. They are also known
as barber shears, hairdressing shears, or hair shears. They range in size from about 5 to 7
inches (13 to 18 cm) long and commonly have an appendage, known as a finger brace or
tang, attached to one of the finger rings.
mainly used to cut blunt or straight lines in the hair; may be used to slide cut, point
cut or implement other texturizing techniques

2. Texturizing shears.
mainly used to remove bulk from the hair; sometimes referred to as thinning shears,
tapering shears, or notching shears; generally the more teeth in a shear, the less hair is
removed.

3. Razors.
straight razors or feather blades are mainly used when a softer effect on the ends of
the hair is desired; comes in different sizes and shapes and with or without guards

4. Clippers.

Mainly used when creating short haircuts, short tapers, fades and flat tops; may be
used with or without guards; use for the clipper-over-comb technique

Hand clippers are operated by pushing the handles together while electric clippers are
operated by a motor. The distance between the blade points and the spacing of the teeth
determines how closely the hair can be cut.

5. Trimmers - smaller version of clippers; also known as edgers; mainly used to remove excess
or unwanted hair at the neckline and around the ears and to create crisp outlines
6. Sectioning clips - variety of shapes, styles and sizes; made of metal or plastic; usually use
butterfly clips or duckbill clips

7. Wide-tooth comb - mainly used to detangle hair.

8. Tail comb - mainly used to section and subsection hair

 9. Barber comb - mainly used for close tapers on the nape and sides when using the scissor-
over-comb technique
10. Mirrors. These are useful while cutting the patron’s hair so that the shape can clearly be seen
over the shoulder around the neck and remain firmly in position

11. Cutting collars. Placed over the shoulders, around the neck, and remain firmly in position.

12. Spray bottle - A spray bottle is a bottle that can squirt, spray or mist fluids. A common use
for spray bottles is dispensing cool cleaners, cosmetics, and chemical specialties.

Parts of a Shear

4
  Cutting edge- does the actual cutting
 Adjustment knob- makes the shears cut; pulls the blades together so hair does not slide or
fall between the blades
 Finger tang- gives pinky finger an additional contact point; pressure is relieved
 Ring Finger-hole- for ring finger not middle finger
 Thumb hole- bottom hole; when properly fitted it should only go to or slightly over the
cuticle

Shear Maintenance

 Daily Cleaning and Lubrication-use soft cloth saturated with scissor oil to clean blades
after every client; extends the life of the blade and reduces sharpening frequency
 Daily tension adjustment and balancing- hold shears with adjustment knob facing you and
thumb handle in your left hand; with the shear perfectly straight, lift up on the ring finger to
open blades halfway; let ring-finger go; blades should close to2/3 of the way or leave a1-2
inch gap at the tip; use the adjustment knob to tighten or loosen the tension
 Weekly cleaning and lubrication- open shears to 90 degree angle; push paper towel
between pivot point; put in one or two drops of scissor oil; do not put oil directly under
adjustment knob
 Disinfecting shears- disinfect after each client by cleaning with soap and water and then
immersing in disinfectant spray; dry thoroughly; relubricate
 Sharpening shears- sharpen only as needed (not on a regular cycle)
