When stylists first go to cosmetology school, they are often awarded a set of hairstyling or hair scissors tools to work with during their classes. For most, these low-cost cutting tools are a constant source of irritation that can cause grades to slip and simple projects to end in disasters. At hairstylist schools, students often choose to upgrade their stylist or barber tool sets to include the professional shears that they will be using after graduation.
Hair cutting tools are made in many different countries, from a wide variety of materials. Traditionally, the best types of cosmetology cutting tools and Japanese scissors have been made from tempered stainless steel; however, there are manufacturers on the marketplace that tout the glories of their new titanium cutting tools. Since titanium metals are harder than stainless steel, manufacturers are creating stainless steel tools that are plated in titanium for durability.
High-quality tempered stainless steel cutting tools are made in different hardness grades. A pair of professional-quality stainless steel scissors can cost more than a pair of titanium coated lesser-quality steel scissors. The overall metal composition must be considered on cutting tools that will have their surfaces sharpened away over time. Titanium coatings are thin surface applications that are applied over various grades of stainless steel tools.
Today, many stylists are purchasing the cheaper titanium coated stainless steel scissors after reading manufacturer claims. Later, these stylists are complaining about the lacking longevity factors as they fill-out online reviews. When cutting sets are sharpened, thin layers of their stainless steel blades are shaved away to create a new razor-like cutting edge on the blades. Only thick titanium coatings should be considered on cutting tools.
Tempered high-quality stainless steel haircutting sets can cost hundreds of dollars. When people are on a budget, it is wise to consider purchasing only one stainless steel cutting tool at a time. Upper-end scissors, trimmers or shears can be found for prices that run between $100 and $300 each in the hair-care supply catalogs.
Hair cutting tool prices can vary up or down from the common price-ranges depending upon the manufacturer, style and quality of the stainless steel tools being purchased. In most situations, used hair cutting tools are not appropriate to consider because hidden flaws can exist that do not make these lower-priced tools a bargain. At times, it is possible for groups of haircutting professionals to negotiate lower prices on their tools when hair shears set piece are purchased in a wholesale lot that can be shared.
