15% of people are left handed, but up until now there were very few haircutting scissors that catered to this percentage – many left-handed hairstylists have ended up learning how to cut hair using their right hand which can cause problems in terms of ergonomics and functionality.

Fortunately, their are some popular scissor brands and styles now available for lefties!

Many are made out of super-steel, which is actually a better component than what the right handed scissors are made out of, so you’ll finally get the advantage! Some also feature an improved adjustor dial – which can be thick and awkward. But this one is slim and it won’t get in the way as you cut. For additional cutting ease, look for handles that are ergonomic, and a bent thumbring and permanent finger rest.

A lot of design and attention went into creating these scissors – so that when you put it in your hand it feels like it should be there!
