Detailed Description

Iceman scissors are designed to be affordable, comfortable and well balanced for daily professional use. Iceman Orchid 5.5" Hair Thinning Scissors is made from cobalt stainless steel with hand-honed blades, and the 5.5" length is the most popular all-round size, ideal for precision work, layering, bobs and cutting in small sections.

The 30-tooth blade removes weight and bulk, blends lines and softens hard edges without leaving obvious steps - ideal for texturising thick hair, softening perimeters, blending clipper work and creating movement through layers, on wet or dry hair.

Ergonomic details include an offset handle that keeps the thumb lower and the elbow relaxed, a removable finger rest, an adjustable onyx-jewelled tension dial, helping reduce hand and wrist strain over a long day behind the chair.

How to Use

1. Check the tension so the blades close smoothly without folding the hair.
2. Hold the thinner with your ring finger and thumb, resting your little finger on the finger rest.
3. Take a section and place the blades part-way along the hair shaft - never right at the root.
4. Close the blades once or twice, then move along; work gradually and check the result as you go.
5. Use point-down or slide techniques to blend lines and soften perimeters.
6. Clean, oil and store the thinner after each use.

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.
