Iceman scissors are designed to be affordable, comfortable and well balanced for daily professional use.

The convex edge glides through hair for cutting, sliding, slicing, splicing, point cutting, chipping and notching on any hair length, wet or dry, giving clean lines on blunt cuts and soft texture on layered styles.

Ergonomic details include a level-set design with symmetrical handles that suit a traditional grip, a standard thumb curvature, a removable finger rest and an adjustable tension dial with leaf spring tension for a smooth, consistent feel. It comes with a storage case and scissor oil.

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. Adjust with the tension dial if needed.
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 the included oil at the pivot and store in the case.

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.
