Hair cutting scissors are a core tool for hairstylists to perform basic cuts. Their double-bladed, straight design achieves a clean cut through precise meshing, resulting in a straight, serrated edge. Core applications include defining the outline (precisely defining the hairline, nape line, and side part), length setting and trimming (one-cut technique for horizontal/vertical sections), creating layered structures (creating height and depth by lifting sections at different angles), geometric styling (bob cuts, bangs, and other hairstyles requiring sharp lines), and finishing touches (checking the neatness of the ends and making corrections). It is the most frequently used and technically dependent basic tool for hairstylists.
The raw material system of hair cutting scissors consists of blade material, functional accessories, and surface treatment materials. Blade material is the core cost factor. Entry-level products use domestically produced 3Cr13 stainless steel (priced at 12,000-18,000 RMB per ton, with a carbon content of 0.3% and a chromium content of 13%), while high-end products rely on imported special steels: Japanese Takefu Special Steel VG-10 (priced at 90,000-120,000 RMB per ton, containing 1.5% cobalt), Hitachi Metals SG2 powder steel (priced at 150,000-200,000 RMB per ton, with a carbon content of over 1.5%), or Swedish Sandvik 14C28N (priced at 80,000-100,000 RMB per ton, nitrogen-strengthened stainless steel). A single 6.0-inch flat shear requires approximately 100-150 grams of steel, with a material loss rate of 30%-40% after hot forging. The cryogenic treatment (-80℃ to -196℃) of high-end steel also incurs additional liquid nitrogen costs. Among functional components, imported Japanese ball bearing screws (Toba, Fuji brands) cost 20-50 RMB each, determining the smoothness of opening and closing and the service life; high-polymer nylon washers and titanium alloy adjusters are used in high-end products. Surface treatments include mirror electroplating (nickel/chromium plating, cost 5-10 yuan), hand brushing (cost 15-30 yuan), or PVD vacuum coating (titanium nitride coating, cost 30-80 yuan, hardness HV2000+). In terms of cost structure, imported blade materials account for 35%-55% of the total cost (powder steel products account for over 50%), CNC rough machining and hand fine grinding account for 30%-45% (hand grinding of convex blades requires 3-5 hours per blade, Japanese grinders earn 100-300 yuan per hour), imported screws and accessories account for 8%-15%, and heat
