6" Hair Cutting Shears - Ascent
Product Selection
Typically, women find scissors in the 5.5” to 6.0" range to be the most comfortable for their needs, whereas men often opt for slightly larger shears, favoring sizes between 6.0” and 6.5”. For tasks such as scissor over comb techniques and cutting longer hair styles, longer scissors, ranging from 6.5” to 7”, are recommended. However, the key consideration should always be comfort, ensuring the scissors feel right in your hand and match your cutting style and technique.
We take pride in crafting our hair shears from only premium grade stainless steel, including 440C, VG-10, ATS-314, ZA-18, and Damascus. These high-grade materials ensure each pair of shears is razor-sharp, durable, and built to last. For your convenience, the specific type of steel used in each set of shears is detailed on the product's detail page. This commitment to quality means our shears not only meet but exceed professional standards, providing you with precision tools for every cut.
