Slide Cutting Shears for Professional Stylists
Slide Cutting Shears
Slide cutting is a specialty hair stylist technique that features the shears gliding through the hair with the thumb scissor blade scissoring or slicing rapidly. Slide cutting can be done on wet or dry hair, but most stylists slide cut on dry hair. Slide cutting scissors feature curved or arced blades so that the hair is kept in place as the scissors slice through the hair at the back of the blades. Japanese and Korean made shears are the best for slide cutting. Our Shisato and Mirage shears are perfect for slide cutting.

Caralee of Scissor Mall explains the technique of slide-cutting/slithering and how stylists achieve that technique. Any good quality shear can be used in slide cutting, but if a stylist uses this technique on a regular basis, she should invest in a shear specifically designed for slithering.
