How much do I need to spend?
The price of hairdressing scissors varies wildly from under £10 to well over £300 for a pair of professional shears from the likes of Toni&Guy. All the scissors in our list below can give you a good or excellent cut, depending on your skill, but you do tend to get what you pay for with scissors. Everyday household scissors are not sharp enough for hair, and will leave the ends looking frayed.
Spend at least £10 for decent blades and easy handling. Then, once you know what type of scissors suit you best (offset or classic, straight or thinning, dinky 4.5in or large 7in or something in between), then it s worth investing around £50 or more for extra sharpness, smooth adjustable action and years of reliable cutting. Then enjoy counting the cash you save on trips to the salon.
