What are hairdressing scissors?
Hairdressing scissors — also called hair cutting shears or barber scissors — are scissors designed specifically for cutting human hair. Unlike household scissors, hairdressing scissors have very sharp, finely ground blades that cut hair cleanly without pushing or bending it, reducing split ends. They typically range from 5 to 7 inches, with 6 to 6.5 inches being the most popular all-round length for general cutting techniques. Key features include a finger rest (tang), finger ring sizing, and a tension screw to control how freely the blades move. The MJW scissors are 6.5 inches in carbon stainless steel with a removable finger rest, rubber inserts for finger ring sizing, and a fixed tension screw.
Features of the MJW hairdressing scissors
- 6.5-inch length — the most versatile hairdressing scissor size: At 6.5 inches, these scissors sit in the sweet spot for general-purpose hair cutting — long enough for slide cutting and point cutting techniques, compact enough for precise scissor-over-comb and detail work. This length is suitable for the majority of general hairdressing and barbering cutting techniques
- Removable finger rest (tang): The finger rest can be attached or removed depending on your preferred cutting style. Barbers and hairdressers who use a palm-rotating cutting technique typically remove the finger rest, while those using a stationary hand technique prefer to keep it attached for added little-finger support and control
- Rubber finger inserts: Rubber inserts in the finger rings allow you to adjust the size of the ring openings to fit your hand more closely — reducing slipping inside the ring and providing a more secure, controlled grip during cutting
- Fixed tension screw: The fixed screw maintains consistent blade tension — ensuring the blades meet correctly at every point along their length for a clean, even cut without the blades folding or pushing hair
- Carbon stainless steel construction: Carbon stainless steel provides good strength, reasonable impact resistance, and corrosion resistance for long-lasting everyday use
- Ergonomic design — lightweight at 0.059 kg: The balanced weight distribution of the ergonomic handle reduces hand and wrist fatigue during extended cutting sessions

Frequently asked questions
What is the best length for hairdressing scissors?▼
Most hairdressers and barbers use scissors between 5.5 and 6.5 inches. The 6.5-inch length is the most widely used all-round size — suitable for the majority of general cutting techniques including blunt cuts, layers, point cutting, scissor-over-comb, and slide cutting. Shorter scissors (5–5.5 inches) are preferred for more precise or detail work, while longer scissors (7 inches+) are used for longer hair cutting and bulk removal.
What does the removable finger rest (tang) do?▼
The finger rest — also called a tang — is the small protrusion on one of the finger rings that the little finger rests against. When attached, it provides additional support and control for hairdressers using a stationary hand cutting technique. When removed, it allows the little finger to move more freely, which suits those using a palm-rotating cutting technique. The removable tang on these scissors allows you to customise your setup.
What are the rubber inserts for?▼
Rubber finger inserts are placed inside the finger rings to reduce the internal diameter — allowing people with smaller fingers or hands to achieve a tighter, more controlled grip inside the ring. Without inserts, scissors can feel loose and reduce cutting control. These scissors come with rubber inserts so you can customise the fit to your hand.
What is the difference between the black and silver MJW hairdressing scissors?▼
The black and silver MJW hairdressing scissors are functionally identical — same 6.5″ length, same carbon stainless steel construction, same removable finger rest, rubber inserts, and fixed tension screw at the same £7.99 price. The only difference is the handle colour. Black suits a modern style while silver is the classic traditional barbershop finish. Also available separately are the MJW Hair Thinning Scissors — a different product with notched blades for weight removal and texturising rather than length cutting.
