better off with the bonus scissors you receive with hair clippers!
bought for my daughter for her birthday since she cuts all the family and friends hair and only has the scissors included in with clipper kits... after seeing the rating and reviews I felt rather secure that they would be at least as good and had a nice case to keep them in. she finished the evening haircuts with her old scissors as these don't cut! first she tried feathering my hair, the thinning shears bend hair and leave frayed/frizzed ends, making a tangled mess in the end (yes she knows how to use them but her old ones are antiques, literally). the cutting scissors only bent and didnt cut, they were at default tightness so she adjusted them as tight as she could and tried again, same fate. thinking that maybe they just don't work right on fine/thin hair she tried them again on her fiance, who has thick full hair, even worse there...  the adjusting knobs are also way taller than pictured making them a menace to put away or retrieve from the case, having to turn them around and fear breaking the bands just to get them in or out right. the blades themselves are sharpened on both sides? I'm not sure if this is common in hair cutting scissors but I have never seen this done before and it for sure doesnt work! I am returning them for a refund and hope to find a set that works even as good as the generic black handled bonus scissors that come standard in cheap clipper sets :(<br /><br />pros: rather nice faux leather case<br /><br />cons: everything else!
