How To Measure Cosmetology Scissors
Once you have determined the appropriate size of scissors for you, you must measure them to determine which size to get when purchasing a new set online. The best method for measuring scissors is to use a ruler. Align the scissors and the ruler perpendicularly. Thus, you now know the length of your scissors.
Remember to measure scissors from the finger hole all the way to the tip of the blade when taking measurements. Never include the finger rest in your calculations. Sure, the finger rest was included in the original German approach. However, in recent years, hairdressing scissors featuring a screw-on finger rest have become more popular.
