Great Apprentice Hairdressing Scissors Options In 2021

If you’re looking for a trusty and professional hairdressing scissor that will last you a long time, look no further than the Matsui Matte Black Aichei Mountain Offset Scissors. This beautiful cutter is extremely affordable given the high-quality materials and the smooth finish. It is made with superior Japanese Aichei steel, which is one of the best steels in the world when it comes to producing premium hairdressing tools. Choose from the two options of 5.5 or 6-inch blades, which are versatile for most haircutting techniques including point cutting technique, feathering and texturising.

This quality set of shears is great for beginners and apprentices due to its overall reliability.

Best Apprentice Thinner Scissor

Every hairdresser needs a great pair of thinner scissors to help them thin out hair and add texture. Thinning scissors are different from the traditional cutters as the blades of a thinner are made with notches of teeth that determine how much hair you cut away with every snip. As an apprentice, a thinner can be very handy as it provides you with better control when cutting hair so that you don’t end up cutting too much hair off.

We recommend the Matsui Matte Black Offset Thinner for beginner hairstylists as it is made with 27 teeth to provide precise control. These stunning texturizing scissors are made with an offset handle that provides extra comfort and a superior hollow ground design that ensures durability and longevity!
