The Miss Universe 2009 contest is getting closer and we should soon have a new winner. Every beauty contest participant is often referred as “beauty with brains” because it takes good looks as well a sharp brain to win the prize. While one can train the brain to become sharper, it takes a great effort in looking beautiful.

Very few people possess natural beauty and therefore do not require any cosmetic efforts. But hairstyling is one such task that every individual requires to appear adorable. And only a professional hairstylist can make an ordinary looking individual look extremely stunning with his creative and professional experience.

Left handed scissors, thinners and razors are some of the most frequently used tools to create a unique hair style. Every tool has their own special utility and play an important role in cutting, thinning or sharpening hair. The ScissorBoy tools are widely used by cosmetic professionals because of its international quality and great features.

Let’s take the lefty scissors for instance, they are made of high quality steel which ensures durability and quality. The blades are slim and sharp enough to cut the hair in one snap. And the best feature of these shears is the bent thumb handle, which reduces the thumb & hand fatigue and allows you to hold the shear for longer durations without rest. And the hand crafted handles seem to be perfect for almost every hair stylist.

Even with a supreme steel body that has a rockwell hardness of 63 HRC these scissors are extremely light weight. So even if you keep snapping hair the whole day, you won’t feel any pain because of its unique ergonomic specifications. These drop forged scissors are available in three different colors – black, pink and classic steel.

ScissorBoy puts a lot of hard work in the making of these left handed scissors which are available in four different sizes – 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 & 6.5 inch. Also, with a unique built in adjuster dial for quick and easy adjustment of blade tension, this is one of the most ergonomic and comfortable shears in the market.

Left handed scissors are one of the most important tools for any hair stylist. They offer superior comfort for your fingers and cut the hair in a smooth manner such that your hair style appears to be real and not fake like Kim Zolciak.

Kim, the white housewife on Bravo’s reality TV show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has been sporting a hair style that has been the talk of the town. Her platinum blond locks appear to be completely fake and seems that a novice hair dresser has designed it. I am sure the hairstylist must have used cheap quality of the left handed scissors. Just looking at her, one can say that a mass of hair has been pasted on her head to give her that look.

I have to sympathize with Kim because that’s not her fault. It’s the fault of her hairstylist. It has become a common issue these days that people just pick up the hairdressing scissors and consider themselves as hairstyling gurus. Without complete knowledge, they use inferior quality tools and that plays havoc with your hair.

ScissorBoy’s Ultra LEFTY hairdressing scissors are one of the premium scissors which are easy to use and smooth on your hair. They are drop forged because they are manufactured using the Japanese Hitachi steel. This premium quality of the super steel keeps the scissors strong and keeps their performance at optimum levels. The result is – even after a year of use, you would feel that you just bought the left handed scissors from the store!

These scissors have slim and thin blades which make it easy to reach even the tight spaces and give a smooth haircut. Also the hand crafted handles are so ergonomically convenient that you would never experience any pain in your fingers. Many hair stylists love these shears, which are available in four different sizes – 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 & 6.5 inch and three different colors – black, pink and classic steel.

These left handed scissors from ScissorBoy are one of the best tools for stylists who want to provide a perfect haircut to their clients and at the same time want to prevent wrist pain or other repetitive strain injuries.

Stylists are often focused on the tools of the trade, high-end shears,left-handed scissors, razor cutting and learning new techniques. But they often get opportunities to give back to their clients and to people in need. One such instance is demonstrated by Trendz Hair Salon in Rockford, which is hosting a cut-a-thon to benefit the organization “Children With Hair Loss.”

Anyone who had more than eight inches of hair to cut is invited to come in, get a free hair cut, and their hair will be donated to the organization.  All that hair is then made into wigs for kids. “Knowing we’re making a difference to a child is a wonderful feeling to all of us here and everyone who’s come in today,” said Trendz Owner/Stylist Teresa Tepp.

These types of opportunities are often occuring at salons around the nation and around the world – so check around! You may able to give back, while getting a free hair cut!

As opposed to watching and waiting for her hair to fall out due to chemotherapy, Big Brother star Jane Goody chopped off her brown locks, recently, heading to a stylist-to-the-stars who perhaps used specialty, left-handed scissors.

 Jane said she originally hoped to not be affected by the cancer treatment, but when she went under the knife last month doctors found the cancer was worse than they thought, and they’d have to give her a more severe treatment.

A source told the People that the Big Brother star has had her previously long, brown locks cut short and dyed blonde: “Jade is [also] trying hats and scarves to wear when she starts her treatment in the next couple of weeks.”

The reality TV star was told that she had cervical cancer while starring in the Indian version of Big Brother in August.

Hair can be considered one of as woman’s greates assets – and according to a study in the UK, the average woman spends over $50,000 keeping up this asset in her adult life – stylists probably even more so. From products to speciality shears, left handed scissors, expensive extensions, seminars, learning new techniques, etc. the bills quickly add up!

Now there’s a nutritional approach to helping your hair look its best.  The Viviscal Regular Strength hair nourishment system is a nutritional supplement that strengthens and promotes existing hair growth by nourishing hair follicles naturally from within to achieve thicker, longer hair. Developed by Finnish scientists, Viviscal Regular Strength has been widely scientifically tested and contains a pure marine protein complex called AminoMar C – a combination of marine extracts, organic silica and Vitamin C – which provides the essential proteins and nutrients for healthy hair.

GP and Naturopath, Deborah McManners explains: “I regularly speak to women who have always had thin hair or are naturally prone to slow hair growth and they feel they just have to live with it. While styling products and hair extensions can help the hair to appear thicker and longer they are not long term solutions. The good news is that the condition and length of your hair can be significantly enhanced by taking a nutritional dietary supplement which feeds the hair follicles with the nutrients they need to promote healthy hair growth.”

A man who admitted to burgling eight hair salon in England and stealing close to $10,000 in stylist’ tips will be going to prison for a year.

It’s a little odd that in such a lucraitve locale like a salon, he would opt for tips, and not expensive tools like left handed scissors, razors, or special shears. Some theives recently have gone for hair extensions or wigs.

Darren Holloway, 23, raided salons during August and September, and pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary.

Holloway was caught as a result of forensic evidence gathered at the scenes.

A spokeswoman for the police said: “Some of the money was kept in desk drawers and quite easy to get into.

“Our understanding is that he was stealing to feed a habit and these petty cash boxes were adequate for his needs.”

What is the deal with this updo?!

Considering Jennifer Love Hewitt just lost a bunch of weight (I know, wasn’t she already super-skinny?) her new hair do may be her answer to balancing herself back out. At the Emmy’s she wore a huge, puffed up – and falling out of place – hair style that looked like it might have been cut into place by, say, a right handed person using left handed scissors. Definitely not the good kind of “undone.”

Other than that, her dress was great, her style choices were spot-on, but we just can’t figure out what was going through her – or her stylist’s – head when they decided on that look. Seems like she needs someone in her entourage who’s willing to just tell her the gods-honest truth.

We know of one star who’s gone the complete opposite direction (i.e., reducing her hair down to VERY little!) that might be able to help!

A trailer parked out back of someone’s home may not be your first choice when it comes to where your stylist is located – most people are likely to pick a salon based on ammenities, location, services, types of shears and scissors including thinning shears, left handed scissors, making sure the stylist has whatever tools are needed! But a trailer has served one woman well for forty years. Lucille Spicer is turning 90, and she has spent many of her days in the beauty shop/trailer behind her home in kansas.

“I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of customers,” Lucille says. It started back in the 1940′s, when Lucille spent six months in the Venus beauty school in Wichita. “We had uniforms made out of white sheets that we ironed. I’m old-fashioned. We did pincurls with hairpins – not bobby pins. You had to really study. We had to know all about muscles and everything inside the head. I had to learn to use brush rollers for the shop. I couldn’t do these young girls of today – no way.”

In her prime Lucille did 10 customers a day six days a week, although she says she has slown down because she is “not very fast,” now. Still, she describes herslef as “Probably the happiest woman in Hazelton.”
