Review (4/5): 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For the price they will cut your families hair just fine, but If you are a professional I would advise a more expensive product.
