Why Choosing the Right Scissors Matters
Scissors are an endless journey— a world of options, opportunities, and sometimes, now and then a little bit of disappointment. Let’s be honest: for professional groomers, scissors are an addictive guilty pleasure. They can be a source of frustration (to many choice), but every now and then, you discover that one that truly stands out.
One thing is certain: high-quality scissors make the dream work! They deliver better results, flawless finishes, and faster performance—and in a grooming salon, time is money, but so is quality. There’s nothing more satisfying than finding that one pair of scissors exceeds all your expectations.
But what truly makes the difference?
Scissors: A Story of Choices, Possibilities, and Perfection
Buying or selecting scissors isn’t love at first sight. While it’s nice to hold a fancy, beautiful pair of scissors, functionality and quality are what truly count. Every scissor is different, and every scissor line has its own unique features. Choosing the right scissors for the right job is crucial.
Before purchasing a pair, take a moment to consider its purpose. Do you need a workhorse that can handle large amounts of coat in a single cut? Or a precision tool that delivers a perfect finish? Every hand is different, and so is every coat. Over time, you’ll build a collection of scissors, each designed for a specific task. But then, you meet the Yento TanTo scissors, the New scissor line in the Yento range. This will be your future Partner in crime, your soulmate to deliver that excellent scissor work.
Behind the Design of Yento Tanto Scissors
Every Yento Tanto scissor begins its journey as a block of wax, meticulously sculpted by Kitty Dekeersgieter. This hands-on approach ensures each design meets the unique needs of professional groomers, students, and pet owners. The result? Scissors are not only functional but also masterpieces of design and comfort.
The Tanto line features ergonomic handles that minimize fatigue and maximize control, even during long grooming sessions. By encouraging proper scissor technique, these tools help groomers achieve precision and mastery with every cut.
The Yento Tanto Scissors: A Star in the Collection
The Yento Tanto scissors line stands out with its ergonomic innovations and superior cutting performance. Designed specifically for professional groomers, these scissors are perfect for tackling even the most challenging coats.
With features like micro-serration and an angled design, Tanto scissors prevent calluses and blisters while delivering sharp, precise cuts. They’re a must-have for groomers who prioritize comfort and performance.
The Perfect Scissor Grip and Posture
Whether you’re an aspiring groomer or a seasoned professional, mastering the correct grip and posture is essential for achieving precision and preventing strain during grooming sessions.
The foundation of great grooming begins with how you hold your scissors. When picking them up, ensure the screw faces upward. Grip the handles with your thumb and ring finger, keeping your hand relaxed and your wrist aligned. Allow the scissors to rest naturally in your hand—there should be no tension or stiffness in your fingers.
The cutting motion should come solely from your thumb, moving gently up and down without forcing the scissor blades. If your fingers slip too far into the rings, add rubber inserts for a snug fit. This small adjustment enhances control and reduces fatigue, making grooming smoother and more enjoyable. However, the Yento Tanto scissors do not need scissor rings. The unique design of the handle ensures a perfect position without sliding.
One of the most common mistakes students and pet owners make is applying too much pressure with their thumb, especially when using blender or chunker scissors. This excess force can cause the scissors to jam or dull prematurely, requiring sharpening sooner than necessary.
The way you hold your scissors matters. You’ve invested in exceptional tools, so treat them with the care they deserve. Think of it like owning a Ferrari—you wouldn’t take it off-roading, and the same goes for your scissors. Use them correctly, and they’ll reward you with flawless performance and longevity.
Hold your scissors gently and let them do the work for you. With the proper grip and mindful technique, you’ll not only protect your tools but also elevate your grooming skills to the next level.
Quality plays an important role in wear and tear. A good quality scissor will provide you with smoother and better scissor work. The same goes for your scissor technique.
