Scissors will last you and keep sharper longer if they are cared for and used by one person only. Sharing scissors on a professional basis really is not going to help anyone achieve the desired results and will generally lead to disappointment all-round. We all use scissors “our own way”. No two people will apply the same pressure in the same place when cutting. This is why sharing will shorten the life span and the sharpness of the edge, this will result in shorter times between sharpening therefore the scissor will age well before it’s time.
Everyone is different and we realise each person is unique, so this is why we offer a vast selection of Scissors to you, as one scissor does not suit all! Our selection comes from some of the best manufacturers in the world, they are made from different materials; all of quality which can make scissors feel different in many ways. Lengths vary and weights which will affect balance and control.

Styles and designs, colours, finishes and furnishings will add to the appeal of each and every Scissor. We are here to guide you through and help you choose the right Scissors for YOU.
