What does ice tempering add to the Onyx?

Ice tempering is a heat treatment process that takes steel to sub-zero temperatures after the initial hardening stage — the extreme cold causes the steel's molecular structure to become denser and more uniform, significantly increasing hardness, edge retention and resistance to wear. For a scissor blade, this translates directly into a cutting edge that stays sharper for longer between sharpenings and maintains its performance through demanding daily use more effectively than conventionally tempered steel.

Why are honed and hollow ground blades ideal for slicing?

Hollow grinding creates a concave face on the blade that reduces the amount of steel behind the cutting edge — the thinner the metal at the edge, the less resistance it creates as it passes through the hair. For slicing techniques where the blade needs to glide through the section smoothly and cleanly without catching, hollow ground blades are significantly more effective than flat-ground alternatives. The honing process takes this further by refining the edge to a razor-sharp finish. Find the full range of professional hairdressing scissors on site.
