Frequently Asked Questions

What is a double swivel scissor?

A double swivel has a thumb ring that rotates freely on two axes, so it can follow the thumb through the cut.

Is there an adjustment period when switching to swivel scissors?

Yes. Most stylists need a few days to a couple of weeks to adapt to the different grip and hand position. Starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing use is recommended.
