How to Use

1. Check the tension: hold the scissor by the thumb handle with the blades open; the finger blade should close about two-thirds of the way.
2. Insert your ring finger in the finger hole and your thumb in the thumb hole, resting your little finger on the finger rest.
3. Section and comb the hair, holding it with even tension between your fingers.
4. Move only the thumb blade as you cut, keeping the still blade steady for clean, straight lines.
5. Use the blade tips for point cutting and detailing, and the full blade for blunt lines.
6. After use, wipe the blades clean, apply a drop of scissor oil at the pivot and store in a case or pouch.

Directions & Safety Information

• Professional cutting tool - blades are extremely sharp; handle with care.
• Always close the blades and store safely when not in use; keep out of reach of children.
• Never use to cut anything other than clean hair (paper, foil or wire will damage the edge).
• Do not drop - a fall can misalign or chip the blades.
• Clean and disinfect between clients according to your salon hygiene procedures, then dry thoroughly.
• Have scissors professionally sharpened when needed.
