The Sam Villa Artist Series 6” Slide Cutting Shear is designed to protect the integrity of hair when sliding blades down the hair strand.
“Techniques like slicing, channel cutting, pinch and talk (also known as pinch and slide) and even point cutting take on a softer and smoother touch, because the shear is designed to allow hair to slip as it's being cut, which creates a soft edge without compromising the integrity of the hair,” explains Andrew Carruthers, director of education for Sam Villa.
The key design element that makes this shear unique is the ergonomic handle with the signature Sam Villa forward set thumb position, allowing for a wide variety of positions without putting stress on the wrist.
