Barber scissors are specialized scissors designed for use in the hair cutting industry, specifically for trimming and cutting hair. These scissors typically have two blades with sharp, pointed tips that are used to create precise cuts in the hair. The blades of barber scissors are typically made from stainless steel, which is durable and resistant to rust and corrosion. The length of the blades varies depending on the specific use case, with shorter blades being used for precision cuts and longer blades being used for larger sections of hair.

Barber scissors typically have a finger rest on one of the blades, which allows the user to rest their finger while cutting, reducing hand fatigue and improving control. They may also have an adjustable tension screw, which allows the user to adjust the tension between the blades for optimal cutting performance.
