Hair cutting shears (scissors)

[Richard]

Wife cuts both our hair (I used to go get mine done until wife showed me her pouty face that I was paying someone else when I could let her cut it and give her ..... hmmmm.... about 50% more than the gal at the Salon!)

Anyway, she's using what might be hair shears.... might be for paper. I don't know.

Bottom line, they need sharpened so I thought I'd just replace them with a new set. Had no idea the amount of choices out there!!

Anyone know specifics on these things? Like to get her a nice pair. I was presuming I'd end up looking at something with Swiss steel in it but it seems the Japanese pop up more often (and I'm not going to pay $1,000 for a unit!.... I might go up to $200)

Any thoughts??

My wife cuts my hair with a Wahl rechargeable unit. Has various attachments to get the length you want. I'm sure she paid less than $200.

My wife shows dogs as a hobby. The outfit in the link below are at most shows and they also sharpen clippers and shears. Their stuff is high quality. You can order on line.

No need to spend anywhere close to $200. My wife uses a Norelco rechargeable beard trimmer on me that came with at least 10 different attachments including the nose and ear trimmer.

Then the scissors were just a set that were highly rated off Amazon- maybe $20

Note the number of reviews and ratings- all highly rated with lots of reviews. No need to break the bank for something that you will only use 10-15 times a year!

We have a Wahl cordless model 9649 that works on my hair when it gets long enough to bother my wife

Wife cuts mine with something like the rechargeable Wahl. Has adjustable cutting height. I just set it at 2 mm, and she shears everything. Then I remove the adjustable part for her to trim around the edges and in my ears and nose. Last time I had a hair cut, they were $1. Must be a long time ago.

I cut my own hair using this: VS Sassoon | Crew Cut Hair Clipper | Shaver Shop Fortunately, I look good in a #2 or #3.

I also have a Wahl for my beard + a battery (AA) powered ear/nose hair trimmer.

For errant beard/moustache hairs I use a pair of scissors that were bought at the local Chemist... 'gold' handled ones seem to be the best quality.

I buzz-cut what I have left....

For scissors....try Mundial hair cutting scissors. Mundial makes scissors for about anything.
