Haito Basix 6" Scissor Kit

• Haito Basix 6" Scissor Kit
• Includes classic cutting scissor and thinning scissor
• Stainless steel construction with semi-convex edges
• Entry-level tier for stylists of all levels

Haito Basix 6" Scissor Kit is a professional hairdressing scissor kit including both a classic cutting scissor and a thinning scissor in one paired purchase. Real distinct tool functions: the classic scissor cuts straight edges for standard cutting work, while the thinning scissor (also called blending shears or texturising scissors) has teeth on one blade for removing bulk and adding texture without changing hair length. Both scissors constructed in stainless steel with semi-convex edges — semi-convex sits between full convex (very sharp precision cutting, requires high stylist skill) and beveled (traditional standard edge), giving good cutting quality while being more forgiving than full convex for stylists still building precision technique. 6" size is standard for general cutting work. Basix range positioning is the entry-level tier of the Haito scissor range — accessible price point for new stylists, students, apprentices, or as backup scissors for established stylists.

How to use

Use the classic scissor for standard straight cutting work — sectioning cuts, length work, layering with clean edges, and general cutting technique. Use the thinning scissor specifically for removing bulk from thick hair, softening blunt cut lines, adding texture without changing overall length, and blending between layer edges — the teeth on one blade cut alternate hair sections rather than the full section, giving the texturising/thinning effect. Alternate between the two scissors as the cutting service requires. Keep scissors properly maintained: professional sharpening service every 6-12 months depending on use volume, oil the pivot point regularly, wipe clean after each service, and store in a scissor case rather than loose in a drawer to protect the blade edges.

Who it's for

This kit is for new stylists, students, apprentices, and stylists wanting an accessible-price scissor kit for backup use. We've spent years helping clients in Codsall look and feel their best, and as a working salon, we know scissor investment is one of the significant purchases in a stylist's career — top-tier professional scissors run into hundreds or thousands of pounds per pair, so having an accessible-price kit for building technique or backup use makes practical sense. The kit format (classic + thinner in one purchase) also gives new stylists the complete essential cutting-tool pair without needing to source scissors separately. Semi-convex edge choice is genuinely appropriate for stylists still building technique — full convex requires very refined cutting motion that comes with experience.

Safety guidance: For professional and adult use only. Hairdressing scissors are sharp cutting tools — handle carefully, always cut away from skin (particularly ears, scalp, and fingers), and never leave scissors open on a workstation where they could fall and cause injury. Store in a scissor case when not in use, with blades closed. Keep out of reach of children — scissors are a genuine injury hazard for young children. Professional sharpening service required every 6-12 months depending on use volume — dull scissors cause more injury risk than sharp scissors (require more pressure and slip more easily) and cause more hair damage from crushing rather than clean cutting. Between-client hygiene: sanitise scissors per your salon hygiene protocol between clients. Do not use scissors on materials other than hair — cutting other materials (paper, fabric, tape) damages the blade edge and requires re-sharpening. Not for use on damaged, scalp-condition affected, or infected scalp areas without appropriate professional assessment first.
