Good for the price
I have been cutting my family's hair for about thirty years so I am not a professional but I do know what works. My first impression is that they feel a little cheap and they are stiff to operate. They also have a bur on the tip of the blade that I will need to file off.<br />I quickly went to try them out on what I know to be a real test, cutting fine threads and tiny silk ribbon. When I cut using the end of the scissors blade the thread and ribbon did not cut. When I cut them in the center of the scissors blade they did cut. As I close the blades together I can feel that some sections of the blade don't make full contact. However these scissors are sold to cut hair, so I then tried them on hair. I started on my son's beard and they cut fine. I tried the hair on his head and they did fine on that as well. I also wanted to know if the gaps that I felt during my first assessment made a difference so I tried cutting with the tip of the scissors as well as in the center and there wasn't a difference.<br />These scissors are ice tempered, which is a technique that is used to harden metal and make it last longer. Since these just arrived I will have to come back and update my review after I have had them a while and can evaluate whether this ice tempering made a difference.<br />These scissors are made in Pakistan. They no longer have a gold coating on the finger holds that were mentioned on some of the other reviews.<br />I received this product free or at a discount for my honest unbiased review. My opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way. As you can tell I fully tested this product to give you as much information on this it so that you can make an informed choice.<br />For the price they will cut your families hair just fine, but If you are a professional I would advise a more expensive product.
