💰 Why is this a good deal?

At just $10, these scissors are the lowest price they've been in over a year when you pick them up in silver. Plus, at this price, what could you get done at your local salon? Probably nothing — even the tip could run you more.

🤔 Why do I need these?

You can use these shears to trim bangs, split ends or facial hair — or, if you're a pro, do a whole haircut. The blades are razor-sharp stainless steel and allow for a precise cut with clean ends (no sloppy strands here). The scissors are 6.5 inches long with 2.5-inch blades, making them easy to maneuver around just about everyone's hair. Plus, they have a blunt tip, so you're less likely to cut your scalp or ears if you get too close.

Some other perks: They're just 3.5 ounces, so your hands won't get tired while you use them, and they have a curved finger rest and comfy finger holes for added comfort and overall ease of use.

💬 What reviewers say

An army of Amazon shoppers — nearly 40,000, to be exact — swear by these professional-grade hair-cutting scissors, including professional hair stylists.

👍 Pros

"I'm a professional hair stylist who got sick of purchasing super expensive shears and having to send them away to get sharpened all the time," explained one five-star fan. "These are amazing! Very sharp with a great feel to them and they point cut great! This is my go-to scissor now and I've talked my scissor-snob coworker into getting them too! She was shocked at the great quality."

"I have been a cosmetologist for 30 years, and I have two pairs of these scissors," wrote another professional. "I'm criticized by the other stylists because I'm not paying $600 for my scissors per pair — why should I pay that much when I can get shears that work just as good for this price? I love these shears."

"I frequently like to trim any split ends I see on my hair and these are great quality at a good price," said a third reviewer. "By doing a certain amount of trimming at home I save tons of money on haircuts (only getting them half as often). Using cheap scissors can actually cause more split ends, so it is great to have found quality hair scissors at a reasonable price for home use!"

👎 Cons

"They are sharp [and] cut through hair easily!" wrote one shopper. although they warned: "One thing to be aware of: Some folks complain that [they're] too stiff, however, you can adjust the tension with the button. I was able to loosen the tension on mine considerably, which made them much more comfortable to use — however, I had to use a wrench to grasp the button firmly enough to turn it."
