I use the 6.75-inch NOVA D for dry finishing and slide cutting on medium to thick hair. Point cutting is precise, and the offset grip does not crowd the thumb during long appointments. Tension from the ball-bearing system stays consistent, and the cryo-treated cobalt blade still feels sharp after weeks of daily use. I would prefer a slightly lighter feel in the 6.75-inch size, but the cut quality is reliable on both dry and damp hair.

The 6.25-inch NOVA D is the dry-cutting shear I reach for when I need a clean slide without the blades catching. The wider cutting edge moves through dry hair evenly, and the booster balance tang keeps the tip steady on longer sections. The low-profile dial is easy to set, and the silencer stays quiet through a full book of clients. The offset handle fits my hand, and the AG16 edge has held up well between sharpenings.

Choosing your Shear Size:

One size does not fit all. Shears come in a variety of sizes from 5 to 7 inches to fit different needs of the clients. It is common to see stylists working with multiple sizes of shears for different cutting techniques. The shorter length is ideal for precision cutting techniques and longer length is best for layer cutting techniques.

Know you Hands:

Buying a pair of shears is like buying a pair of shoes. First you need to know your size. In general, the size of your hand is the size of the shears. To ensure optimal cutting experience, most shears should not extend over your palm.

Touching Points:

Every single pair of ABOVE shears has 4 main touch-points:

-Point where the thumb touches the static handle.

-Point where the ring finger touches the dynamic handle.

-Point where the little finger touches finger rest.

-Point where the first and middle finger touch the shank of static handle.

There are 5 key elements to choose a right shear. It looks right. It weighs right. It fits right. It cuts right. It is priced right

Little Finger Matters

In comparison, females tend to have shorter little fingers than males. So shears have to be chosen accordingly, and attention should be paid to shears’ finger rest. Broadly speaking, the shorter the little finger is, the longer and wider the finger rest should be.

PALM and Fist

Offset is where the thumb is at its most natural position. Palm’s width determines shears’ offset, especially for hairdressers who like palm the shear with a fist. The right pair of shears should fit the users’ hand ergonomically and the wrong choice of shears can lead to serious long-term damage to the users’ hand like carpal tunnel and tendonitis.
