Detailed Description

Iceman scissors are designed to be affordable, comfortable and well balanced for daily professional use. The Suntachi VG10 6" Thinner is built from VG10 steel, which holds its edge well so it needs sharpening less often, is durable enough for daily salon use and resists corrosion for a long working life. The 6" length lets you work through larger sections efficiently.

The scalloped thinning blade is aimed at blending and softer finishes - removing weight and bulk, blending lines and softening hard edges without leaving obvious steps. It is ideal for texturising thick hair, softening perimeters, blending clipper work and creating movement through layers.

The offset handle supports a natural, open hand position to reduce fatigue, the cutaway thumb rest improves comfort and control, and the raised jewelled tension dial is easy to adjust. Lubricating oil and a finger rest insert are included.

Best Suited For

• Busy salon professionals wanting long edge life

• Texturising thick or heavy hair
• Right-handed stylists
• Thinning wet or dry hair of most types

How to Use

1. Check the tension with the jewelled dial so the blades close smoothly without folding the hair.
2. Hold the thinner with your ring finger and thumb, fitting the finger rest insert if preferred.
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 with the included lubricant 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 the blades or damage the teeth.
• Clean and disinfect between clients according to your salon hygiene procedures, then dry thoroughly.
• Have thinners professionally sharpened when needed; convex edges need a specialist sharpener.
