Professional Opinion
Four tooth counts, 16, 20, 30 or 40, let you match the removal ratio to the job, from taking weight out of thick hair to softer texturizing and line blending. The 6.0 inch offset body in ATS-314 steel slots into a kit beside any standard cutter.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot as the maker directs
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 16, 20, 30, and 40 teeth on the Yasaka YS?
They are separate tooth set-ups. Tooth count alone does not set the cut rate, so ask the seller whether Yasaka lists a rate for each model, and trial it before client work.
Can I use the Yasaka YS thinning scissors for texturizing?
Yes. The 16 and 20 tooth options work well for texturizing and creating movement. The 30 and 40 tooth options are better suited for gradual thinning and line-free blending.
