HAND CRAFTED
ERGO's handmade ER500 scissors, featuring the "precision convex" blade, take advantage of new alloy tempering technologies. The five-inch cobalt alloy scissors promise to provide haircutters with the perfect combination of accuracy, durability and value, and should last for up to 10 years. 888/ASK-ERGO

CONTROL FREAK
The revolve 5.5 shears from InfraShine are ideal for stylists who use slide or palm-cutting techniques. The shears feature a pliable thumb joint and an exaggerated offset to reduce thumb and hand fatigue. The convex/concave blade creates a long-lasting edge, and the pivot system is reversible for right- or left-handed use. 909/794-4756

COMFORT HANDLING
The Centrix 6575 from Cricket Co. features an opposing handle, perfect for stylists who cut with their thumb and middle finger, and a multi-position finger rest, allowing for superior support for the little finger. They're made of triple-tempered stainless steel and are cryogenically treated to increase durability. 800/654-7032

CURVES AHEAD
The stainless steel alloy Curved Shears from Paul Mitchell are handmade in Japan and feature an ergonomically curved blade. Benefits include automatic convex and concave cutting ability, angled blades for easier scissor-over-comb cutting, and a flat screw system to keep the blade sharp and prevent loosening. 800/941-8999
