Online shopping has never been so appealing as it is right now. From the comfort and safety of your own home you can buy almost anything you want and have it delivered to your front door..while you’re in your pyjamas watching Netflix.
We’re here to answer the most common questions about what to consider before you buy hairdressing scissors online.
You’re no doubt wondering if you can see the full range online or do you need to change into clothes and drive to see all kinds of hair scissors. We’re happy to report you can find every kind of hairdressing scissors online and there’s no need to leave home. But we understand buying a pair of professional scissors can be a big investment so you want to do your research before you buy.
There are a lot of scissors out there that claim to be high quality but they’re not even close to being suitable for a professional hairdresser. Hair salons and barbers shops are demanding environments for your scissors with all the cutting and continued contact with water and chemicals. You can’t expect a pair of inferior scissors to stay sharp, corrosion free and easy to use in a commercial setting. Leave those scissors to people attempting home haircuts or trimming the dog!
Not all brands of scissors have much online information so if you can’t find what you need, reach out to the seller and ask questions. Ask what material the scissors are made from and its origin. The best quality steel for making scissors is Japanese and German because they’re lightweight, keep a sharp blade edge for longer and are more durable.
The warranty (or lack of) can give you another idea of quality. If the online shop isn’t willing to provide a reasonable warranty, chances are they don’t trust the quality of their stock. A warranty tells a shopper that the store stands by the products it sells.
If you think it’s more difficult to order the right professional hairdressing scissors than it is placing the weekly groceries online, you’re right. Chances are you’ve already tried the cereal and you know the quality of the biscuits you buy online, but with hairdressing scissors you mightn’t have tried them before or even be familiar with the brand name.
Hairdressing scissors need to tick all the boxes when they arrive:
It shouldn’t be all risk with no return when you buy professional scissors online. If there is something you’re not happy about, you should be able to return them for an exchange or refund.
Yes, most professional brands of hairdressing scissors offer individual scissors and hairdressing kits online. A kit means you will have a matching set that works well together. The kits may contain multiple cutting scissors in different sizes and thinner combos that meet all your hairdressing requirements. When you buy a kit, you can usually save a lot of money.
