Texturizers/Thinners

"B" Texturizers

Hair scissors labeled with a "B" at the end of their name feature teeth exclusively on the back blade, these offer a unique approach to texturizing and blending. The distinct blade configuration of B thinners empowers hairstylists with unmatched versatility, enabling them to craft seamless and distinct hairstyles effortlessly.

Thinning scissors with teeth on the back blade are designed for a different kind of texturizing effect. The beveled edge on the back blade allows the stylist to achieve a more diffused and gradual blending of hair. When these scissors are used, the teeth on the back blade come into contact with the hair first, followed by the straight front blade. This creates a softer and smoother transition between hair lengths and layers, resulting in a more natural look.

"U" Texturizers

The "U" in the name means teeth shaped like a "U" at the tip, their U-shaped teeth enhance texturizing capabilities. Hairstylists utilize U thinners to create natural-looking layers and dimension in hair, elevating the artistry of their work.

U-shaped teeth have a rounded or curved tip, resembling the letter "U". These teeth provide a softer and smoother cut, making them ideal for gentle texturizing and blending. U-shaped teeth are often used for creating a natural and seamless transition between different hair lengths.


These provide a gentler grip on the hair. They are less likely to cause snagging or pulling, making them suitable for finer hair textures or when a softer blend is desired.

"UB" Texturizers

These thinners sport teeth on the back blade (B), and the tips of their teeth feature a "U" shape (U), combining to create precision cutting capabilities.

"W" Texturizers

The "W" at the end of the name indicates thinners with teeth's tips shaped like a "W." This design provides an alternative texturizing approach for hairstylists looking to create a more aggressive texturizing effect. These scissors can remove a larger amount of hair with each cut, making them useful for thinning out thick hair or quickly reducing bulk.

W teeth are designed to catch a larger amount of hair with each cut. The serrations can help control and remove bulk more efficiently, especially in thicker hair.

"Leaf Blade" for the Slide Cut technique

Models with the letter "S" or "SS" in their name belong to the leaf blade scissor category, designed for the slide cut technique (dry hair).

"S" Leaf Blade Scissors

Hair scissors with an "S" at the end of their name feature a "leaf blade" design, this enables precise slide cutting, a technique widely used for softening edges and creating seamless layers. These scissors are also capable of regular cutting.

"SS" Leaf Blade Scissors

Similar to the "S" models, the "SS" leaf blade scissors also serve the slide cut technique. However, they are not for regular cutting techniques.
