Where to Buy Thinners
Watch the advantages of swivel shears
Caralee of Scissor Mall demonstrates how to use a swivel hair cutting scissor and how comfortable this shear can be for hair stylists, especially for those who suffer from back and hand pains, carpel tunnel, or bursitis.
Discover the correct tension of a thinner
Caralee of Scissor Mall explains that the tension of a chunker, texturizer, and thinner should be tighter than a regular shear. If the tension on a chunker, texturzer, or thinner is not tight enough, it can cause the blades to nick.
