Preparation: Sanitize scissors with an alcohol wipe or barbicide before use to ensure hygiene.

Hair Preparation: Work with clean, dry, or slightly damp hair, sectioned as needed for cutting or thinning.

Cutting Scissors (e.g., Basix, Yoru, Kizamu, Kyandi, Sukai, Rozu, Kinzoku, Sakana):
Hold at the desired angle for the cut (e.g., 0° for blunt cuts, 45° for point cutting).

Use convex edges for slicing or slide cutting (ideal for models like Yoru, Kizamu).

Make precise, smooth cuts, avoiding over-cutting to maintain hair integrity.

Thinning Scissors (e.g., Basix 5.5", 6", Kuro 5.5"):
Hold at a 45-degree angle to the hair section.

Use short, gentle snips mid-length to ends to remove bulk, blend layers, or add texture.

Avoid over-thinning by working in small sections and checking frequently.

Post-Use: Clean hair and debris from blades with a soft cloth or brush. Sanitize and store in the provided wallet or a protective case.

Maintenance: Oil the pivot point weekly and have blades sharpened professionally every 6–12 months. Adjust the tension screw if the action feels loose.
Ideal for: Precision cutting, slicing, texturizing, and thinning all hair types in professional salons, barber shops, or for students.

Are they vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, made from stainless steel with optional Teflon or titanium coatings, containing no animal-derived materials, and Hair Tools adheres to cruelty-free standards.

What’s the difference between cutting and thinning scissors?
Cutting scissors (e.g., Yoru, Kizamu) have convex blades for precision cuts and slicing, while thinning scissors (e.g., Basix 5.5", 27 teeth; 6", 30 teeth) have toothed blades for removing bulk and blending layers.

Are they suitable for professional use?
Yes, handmade from stainless steel with semi-convex or convex edges, they’re ideal for professionals, barbers, and students. Models like Kizamu and Rozu offer advanced features (e.g., offset handles, Teflon coating) for salon precision.

Can beginners use them?
Yes, the Basix range (5", 5.5", 6") is affordable and user-friendly for students, while models like Yoru or Kizamu suit professionals seeking precision. Practice is needed for thinning techniques.

Do they cause hair damage?
When used correctly (e.g., proper angle, avoiding over-thinning), they minimize damage. Incorrect use (e.g., over-thinning near the scalp) can cause uneven texture, so follow professional guidelines.

What do recent reviews say?
Amazon reviews (2023) for the Basix 5" Cutting & 5.5" Thinning Set praise their value, with comments like “decent for the price, sharp but not salon sharp” and “impressed with quality for cost.” Users note the wallet’s stylish faux alligator skin design. Higher-end models like Kizamu are rated for smooth slicing. Some prefer premium brands like Matakki for sharper edges.

How do I maintain them?
Clean after each use, sanitize with alcohol or barbicide, oil the pivot point weekly, and sharpen every 6–12 months professionally. Store in the provided quilted wallet or a holster to protect blades.

How do they compare to other brands?
Haito offers better value than premium brands like Kasho or Matakki, with reliable stainless steel and convex edges. They outperform budget brands but lack advanced features like swivel thumbs or cobalt steel found in high-end models. Ideal for students or cost-conscious professionals.
