I'm not in love with these scissors, I would have wanted something longer and pointier, perhaps.I presently have another pair with black handles which are longer and pointier, ("Office Pro" is etched onto the side of the blade), and they work pretty good for my long hair, which I'm cutting myself by parting my hair as for pigtails, then bringing it all to the front and cutting across.This method is incredibly fast and easy and it doesn't give a clean line in the back once finished, and it doesn't give layers, but it's darned good for getting the right length with a decent V profile in back.So, for this method of cutting, straight across a large section of hair .... these scissors are a little small.I haven't tried them for this technique that I use, yet, because I just cut my hair recently, but I just know that these are on the small side for this technique.I see them more for adding layers and stuff like that.I really wanted to test them out, so I decided to cut little wispy sections at my ears and the middle of my forehead, and wow, these were fun to use for that because they're so darned sharp!I'm still keeping these because the quality is great and with great quality comes more potential, and so with use, I may switch to these as my main haircutting scissors or come up with new ways to use them, and then just use the pointy black ones for crafts.So that's my little haircutting story, and I really like these scissors, but wish they were offered in a larger size.I recommend them, though, because you can't go wrong with good quality.Also, if anyone's interested, they can be held up with a magnet.I have an array of cuticle scissors, toenail scissors, a nail file, etc., held up by magnets on the inside of my medicine cabinet and I just added these to the collection.They don't really hold strongly with the magnets I have, but they do hold.I know a lot of people say that stainless steel is not magnetic .... but I don't think that's true, at least in every case.My cuticle scissors (actually, curved embroidery scissors) are shiny and certainly stainless, and they hold the magnet very well.So anyway, my point is that you shouldn't let their moderate magneticness deter you from buying these, and you should consider their magnetic abilities to be a bonus.You could even store these in a drawer with a magnet attached to them, and add snap hair clips or duck billed metal hair clips to the magnet to use when cutting hair, and so all of your supplies would be held together in one bundle by the magnet.I do that with my snap clips and bobby pins, to keep them magically accessible and separated from the elastics and scrunchies.

I didn't expect much for the money but I got a lot more. I was trimming my hair and accidentally trimmed my finger! It's a lot sharper than you might think. They're very comfortable in your hand and pretty decent craftsmanship.Perfect for extending your last pro cut. Extremely sharp!! Take extra care with fingers and ears, these are NOT your average paper cutters, and don't leave them around children.

Seems to be a quality product that is a great bargain. The blade tension adjustment is a plus, too. It's a very sharp, good cutting pair of scissors The finger holes are a bit small but still manageable (I'm a 6', 200 pound guy).
