OUch! lol... these scissors may be inexpensive, but don't let the price fool you. They are super sharp! Super sharp! Watch those fingers. Just a slight touch and you are going to slice them! (Yep, I did several times till I finally realized I can't treat these as typical scissors that cut paper! I'm a slow learner - what can I say!!) I'm not a hair stylist but I wanted to give myself trims in between professional cuts. It cuts with precision and even does great channel cuts!!! (I Y*utubed that and taught myself!!). Feeling confident with these scissors and online videos, I decided to give myself an entire new haircut and it looks fantastic! These scissors cut with such precision and ease that it was so easy to cut hard to reach places. Glad I bought them and would highly, highly recommend. PLEASE keep these AWAY from children!!!! Just touching the blade is going to produce a severe slash - says my bandaged fingers. :)
