Choosing Your First Scissor Holster: Hairdresser's Checklist for a Perfect Fit
When buying a scissor case for the first time, what criteria should I use to choose it?
For those of you asking this question, we would like to share "BLINK SCISSORS CASE's guide to choosing a scissor case."
Check storage capacity
First, be sure to know in advance the number of scissors, combs, and duckbill clips you want to store in your scissor case.
Additionally, if you want to store brushes or trimmers, you will need a capacity that includes those as well.
This is an important point to check before choosing the design of your scissor case.
※Forcing tools into a scissor case with insufficient capacity can cause it to lose shape or be damaged.
How to choose colors and designs
A scissor case can also be seen as part of your fashion and coordination.
Choosing one while imagining your "usual attire" and "image at salon work" will result in a style that is more uniquely yours.
Choosing based on intuition is also wonderful, but considering the impression you want to give to guests and the overall atmosphere when making your choice can make your salon work even more enjoyable.
About materials
Most scissor cases are made of leather, but there are various types of "leather."
For example…
- Those that utilize the natural texture (wrinkles and scratches) of the leather
- Those that have been processed to be scratch-resistant
- Well-dyed colored leather
Even with the same design, a different material can significantly change the impression and usability.
The choice of material is also an important point in choosing a scissor case.
↑ We also offer BLINK leather samples (free). Please use them as a reference for choosing colors and materials.
Advice from a hairdresser's perspective
The staff at BLINK SCISSORS CASE utilize their field experience as hairdressers for production and advice.
We aim to balance both "ease of use" and "aesthetic beauty" that are closely aligned with actual salon work.
Considering a scissor case as part of your fashion might change how you choose it.
In addition to your own preferences and functionality, try to imagine "the impression you want to give to guests" when making your choice.
May your first scissor case selection be a wonderful encounter that makes your salon work even more enjoyable.
