Most common hair cutting scissors out in the market are made for right handed users. It becomes a problem when a hairstylist is a lefty and would end up with no choice but to get a right-handed hair shear. Some shears addresses this problem by providing different kinds of shears that can be used by either right handed or left handed people. These shears is one of the highly recommended hair cutting tools that has been tried and proven for number of decades.
For example, Joewell shears come in opposing, offset, and ergonomic designs to fit anyone's needs. Whether you are a salon hair dresser or you just want to cut your own hair at home, Joewell shears is the best choice for easy and manageable hair cutting.
The opposing-designed shear is a classic style ideal for hair dressers who use their thumb and middle finger. This allows precise cut even for stylists who are left-handed. The opposing shear design is the oldest design for hair cut scissors.
Joewell offset-designed shears are best for people who use their thumb and ring fingers in cutting hair. This design was introduced about 25 years ago when hair styling schools started teaching people to use their thumb and ring finger to hold the scissor. This allows their free index finger and the open hand to hold the head while working with the scissors. This type of shear design has been known to provide more comfort for the thumb as it allows better hand movement without straining the short thumb.
This shears also come in ergonomic designs that are all hand crafted and provide more flexibility for users. Ergonomically-designed shears are known to be healthier to use. They also provide many advantages for the hair stylist as it prevents improper posture and unnecessary bending of the wrists. This type of Joewell shear is recommended to stylists who use palm to palm cutting technique because it prevents too much stress on the hand, fingers and wrists.
Shears come in three different tensions systems based on the user's needs and comfort:
1. The Flat Screw System. This allows the shears to be tight at all times to avoid loosening. There is a flat screw to keep the blades on a tight grip to ensure that the blades stay sharp and the mechanism of the shears to be firm at all times.
2. The Adjustable Screw System. This type of tension system enables the shears to adjust itself to the pace of the user. This results in stabilized grip and accurate hair cutting but flexible for easier hair styling.
3. The Dry Bearing System. This system uses resin on dry bearing which is a very solid point that is lubricated to pivot. This tension system is used for clear opening and closing. There is no need for maintenance for this type of tension system. This system is usually used on lightweight shears for fatigue/stress-free cutting.
All Joewell shears are made of either stainless alloy or cobalt to guarantee quality and durability.
