Japanese Hair Cutting Scissors
Article by Kristy Klien
Why are there so many Japanese brands of hair cutting scissors available on the market? Well, Japanese scissors are very well known for their quality, with one of the main reasons being that the manufacturing techniques used for making the scissors were once used centuries ago to produce fine Japanese swords.
Let’s talk a bit about these scissors. Their main attributes are comfort, smoothness and sharpness. The typical Japanese style scissor has a convex edge blade design making them ultra sharp and smooth, therefore an excellent choice for slide cutting involved in modern hairstyling techniques. The inside of the Japanese style blade is concave while the outside is convex. Compared to say, German style beveled edge blades, the Japanese blade is superior when it comes to slide cutting and point cutting, with the German blades being more apt for dry cutting.
Most of the top rated professional hair cutting scissors are made by Japanese manufacturers. Just like hairstylists dedicate hours to training and honing their skills, the Japanese scissor manufactures do also, constantly developing their products to ensure that your hair styling needs are met. These manufacturers invest lifetimes to meet the highest expectations of performance, convenience and comfort with their quality hair cutting scissors.
Japanese stainless steel is known for its ultra sharpness especially when honed into scissor blades. The specially crafted finger rests and rings offer the utmost comfort to make Japanese hair cutting scissors the cutting edge of modern styling techniques without discarding the stylist’s need for comfort while working.
How do you know you’re using Japanese hair cutting scissors? When you benefit from an outstanding performance as well as the comfort they offer. If you own a pair of scissors that is causing you wrist pain, then it would be wise to invest in a pair of Japanese scissors to prevent more serious problems in the future.
If you own a pair of Japanese scissors, you must treat them well so that they can be in tip top shape for longer. They must be used on a clean surface and afterwards, cleaned with warm water and a gentle detergent. Open the blades wide to wipe away any grease or dirt visible, then dry them with a soft towel. It’s always a good idea to oil the meeting point of the blades every now and then to keep the joint supple and smooth.
