Detailed Description

Iceman scissors are designed to be affordable, comfortable and well balanced for daily professional use. Iceman Suntachi 5" Left-Handed Hair Scissors is made from triple-tempered Japanese cobalt stainless steel with hand-honed convex, hollow-ground blades, and the short 5" length gives excellent control for detail work, short graduations, fringes and men's cuts.

The blades suit cutting, sliding, slicing, point cutting, chipping and notching on wet or dry hair, giving clean lines on blunt cuts and soft texture on layered styles.

Ergonomic details include an offset handle with a cutaway thumb that keeps the thumb lower and the elbow relaxed, a removable finger rest and leaf spring tension with a raised adjustable dial, helping reduce hand and wrist strain over a long day behind the chair. Because the blades are reversed for the left hand, left-handed stylists get a true cutting line and can see the guide clearly - something right-handed scissors cannot give them.

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; convex edges need a specialist sharpener.
