When I tell customers how much my scissors cost they invariably say "why do they cost so much?" I used to shrug and say because you get what you pay for, and that ' I always use the best scissors so my job is easier'. Apart from that - being a lazy sod, if I save a bit of thumb and finger muscle straining, I go for it!
Now I know a bit more mainly because I supply hairdressers with the very tools I used to choose by recommendation from peers, or trying other stylists scissors or trawling through catalogues. I remember in my day and that ain't too long ago, you had an 'A' set .. a scissor and then possibly a thinner.Now hairdressers have on average 4 to 5 pairs of scissors excluding thinning scissors. Add in razors and various clips and combs no wonder waist/ shoulder pouches are fast becoming a hairdressing salon essential kit rather than a bit if fashion. Check out our Yoi Pouches
Nowadays the internet offers stylists a choice previously unseen combined with the knowledge that if they choose a scissor and its not for them under the Goverments distance selling rules they have 7 days to send it back. Now - 7 days is fine but me - like I said, a bit relaxed in my getting things done. ( Ok Lazzzzzzy)
So thank goodness for my business partner.... he is the driving force behind all orders and delivery. Me, I do the 'net' and product research. He does the customer service and he is the BiZ at it. Knows 'his stuff like'.. so test his skills if you are looking for scissor advice, give him a call and ask Colin .. 07792419101.
Ask Colin ... hmmm could be a radio phone in, or a silly singing bank geezer. but nope just a scissor and hairdressing supplies guru:)
(Q) Oh yeah... why do scissors cost so much. ( A) Cos they bounce higher than cheapies
