Short shears are an essential tool for hair stylists who want a versatile, everyday shear. They are smaller and lighter than other shears, making them easier to maneuver and control, and their shorter blades make them ideal for cutting in tight spaces. As a hairstylist, your tools are your everything, and you need to have the right tools to do the job right. That includes having a pair of high-quality precision shears. 

Short shears typically have blades that are 4.5 to 5.5 inches long.

Long shears have blades that are 5.75 to 6.25 inches long.

 

What each size is best used for

Short shears are ideal for:

  • Precision cuts
  • Bobs
  • Detailed lines
  • Cutting in tight spaces
  • Point cutting
  • Slide cutting
  • Shallow point cutting

Long shears are ideal for:

  • Long hair cuts
  • Layering
  • Blunt cuts
  • Overhand cutting
