Choosing Your Shear Size
One size does not fit all. Shorter shears are ideal for precision cutting and detail work, while longer shears are best for layering and bulk removal. Many professionals work with multiple sizes depending on technique and service.
Know Your Hands
Buying shears is like buying shoes—you need the right fit. In general, the correct shear size should not extend beyond your palm to ensure balance, control, and comfort.
Ergonomic Touch Points
Every ABOVE shear is designed around four key touch points:
Thumb on the static handle
Ring finger on the dynamic handle
Little finger on the finger rest
Index and middle fingers on the shank
Little Finger Matters
Proper finger rest design plays a major role in comfort and stability. Users with shorter little fingers often benefit from a longer and wider finger rest to maintain proper hand positioning.
Palm & Fist Comfort
The off-set handle places the thumb in its most natural position and accommodates different palm widths, especially for stylists who palm the shear. Choosing the right ergonomic fit helps prevent long-term hand strain, including carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.
Five things matter when choosing the right shear:
It looks right. It weighs right. It fits right. It cuts right. It’s priced right.
