The choice of scissors ultimately depends on individual preference. Generally, the length of scissors should align with the type of cutting you do. Barbers often opt for longer scissors to tackle larger sections of hair, while hairdressers might use standard-sized scissors for precision cutting.

To measure hairdressing scissors, you start from the tip to the end of the longest finger hole. It’s important to measure according to your hand size, ensuring that the blades are slightly longer than your index finger.
