A Guide to the 11 Best At-Home Hair Cutting Scissors

best hair cutting scissors shears


Dominik Bindl

While we recommend you see a professional for the best hair styling results, sometimes a quick touch-up is all you need. So for those who dare, this is where a pair of affordable, at-home shears comes to play.

When you’re picking out a pair of shears, remember: Size does matter. New York-based hairstylist and co-founder of the salon Arisa, Sarah Leah Rona tells us, “I normally look for a certain length when looking for new pair of shears. The length of your shears should start at the corner of your wrist and end at the tip of your pointer finger, diagonally placed. Shorter shears are good for fine-tuning, like perfecting a straight line around the perimeter. Or the bangs. Longer shears can cover more ground when cutting texture into the hair. I look for a hybrid pair of shears, good for both dry cutting and wet cutting. This way, there is no need to switch between shears while going from creating shape and then dry texturizing when styled to take out weight.”

Ahead, the best 11 hair shears on the market for every skill level and budget.

Best Investment

Hitachi Professional Hair Cutting Scissors

For an investment worth every penny, these scissors are as sharp as a razor (we aren’t exaggerating), giving you complete, precise control of your cuts. They come in two different lengths and offer designs for right-hand dominant users and lefties. One reviewer shares, “I’m a ‘recently turned barber’ apprentice so I’ve been cutting hair for a just a little bit over a year. The shears are nothing short of phenomenal. The quality is fantastic, the cutting precision is like nothing I’ve used before, and it’s difficult enough for me to purchase scissors that are truly left handed.”

Best Budget

Hair Cutting Shears Professional 6.5″

Don’t let the low price tag on these “Amazon’s Choice” hair scissors fool you, the blades are sharp, so definitely proceed with a hefty dose of caution. They also feature rubber finger grips to steady and cushion your hold and an ergonomic handle which reduces overextension in your thumb and wrist. 

Highly-Reviewed

Equinox Professional Hair Cutting Scissors 6.5″

With nearly 34 thousand reviews, these shears are perfect for beginners. One reviewer confirms, “The shears surpassed all my expectations. They have very comfortable grip, they are convenient to work with and extraordinary sharp! With these shears, I can cut hair ends half an inch from my fingers without the hairs slipping along the edges.” Oh, and don’t be concerned that they might arrive appearing wet—these scissors are treated with refined oil to prevent rusting.

Beginner and Budget Friendly

Professional Hair Cutting Shears 6.5″

These shears are perfect for beginners—just sharp enough to get the job done, yet not razor sharp to where you could easily injure yourself. Not to mention, the price is really unbeatable. 

Cult-Favorite Brand

Tweezerman Stainless 2000 5.5″ Styling Shears

This pair of hair scissors by beloved brand Tweezerman is a jack of all trades. One reviewer shares, “These are great budget shears for people who like to trim their own bangs or freshen up layers. They’re very sharp, glide along the hair well for edged layers, and don’t catch on thicker and textured hair (a problem for a lot of cheaper shears). They fit comfortably on my fingers as well which means less cramping when I’m pulling off awkward angles to get harder to reach sections of my hair. Works great on wet or dry hair!”

For Wet and Dry Cuts

Fromm Explore 5.75″ Hair Shears

For wet and dry hair, these just-sharp blades are perfect for all your at home haircut needs. 

Full Salon Kit

Sirabe 10 Piece Hair Cutting Set

Flat Tip Shears

Professional Hair Cutting Shears 6″

Looking for a pair of scissors that comes to a flat point at the tip, yet still boasts a sharp blade? It doesn’t get more affordable and effective than this pair of shears. One reviewer explains, “They are good enough for fine stuff like trimming bangs, and strong enough for the heavy lifting of cutting about 8″ off my head in big hacking cuts. They are obviously not salon quality, but they do the job perfectly.”

At Home Touchups Kit

Diane Home Cut Kit

This home cut kit comes with a small cape, a comb, two clips, and a pair of sharp scissors—the perfect set for quick touchups and trims.

Professional Set

Professional Shears 5.5″ and Blending Kit

This professional scissors set is undoubtedly sharp—definitely proceed with caution and skill. One reviewer confirms the quality, “So far these shears have been phenomenal. Be aware, they are super sharp. According to my hairdresser this is a good brand. The price is affordable and they’ve done a good job so far.”

Cricket Style Xpress 5.75” Shears

For light trimming between trips to the salon or bang maintenance, these shears offer a beginner-friendly handle and a sharp blade for precision cuts.

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving


On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.

J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.

Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.

Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.

“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.

“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”

This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

Published

on

Courtesy

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.

The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.

And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.

But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
