MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE WITH YOUR SCISSOR DESIGN
How do I choose the right handle design for me?
Your scissors should be with you for a long time, so it’s vital they are comfortable for you to use. Select the most suitable handle shape depending on hand size, experience and cutting techniques.
Symmetric Handle
A symmetric design is the traditional style for hairdressing scissors. This gives a higher arm position when cutting.
Offset Handle
Offset handles easily fit the hand so the wrist, elbow and shoulder do not tire easily when opening or closing the scissors. Finger hole
Regular and small sizes are available. A finger ring can be attached to reduce the size of the finger hole.
What do I need to think about when it comes to blades types?
Joewell scissors are available in four blade shapes, each with their own unique qualities and benefits.
Standard Blade
Joewell original standard blade is the most popular and easy to use. Incorporating a flat blade and light blade body enables us to provide a scissor, which is suitable for general use. Convex Pro Blade
Designed to offer sharp, smooth cutting, this has the sharpest blade angle and setting. Having a thicker blade shape makes the scissor more powerful, and because the point of the blade is smaller than a hair, hairs will not fly about.
