How do I determine the correct size shear to purchase?
To determine the right hair shear size, consider your personal hand size, preferred cutting techniques, and the type of work you do. Most stylists use shears between 5.5 and 6.5 inches, with shorter blades for precision and longer ones for barbering and larger sections.

How long will the shear last?
A good quality hair shear can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or more With proper care, while cheaper shears might only last 4-5 years before needing replacement. Key factors influencing the lifespan of shears include the quality of the steel, the frequency of use, regular cleaning and oiling, and proper sharpening.
How long will they go between sharpenings?
Bonnie Megowan of Bonika Shears offers a great analogy: "Asking how often shears should be sharpened is like asking how often to put gas in your car. It depends on your car, how much you use it, and if you are only driving one car or several." This comparison emphasizes that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on your tools, usage, and maintenance habits. The quality of your shears plays a significant role in how often they’ll need sharpening. High-quality, convex-edged shears can hold a very sharp edge longer, but certain cutting techniques can dull them faster. If you’re using the same pair of shears every day on a busy salon floor, you may need to sharpen them every 3-6 months. However, if you have multiple pairs in rotation or use your shears less frequently, you might only need to sharpen them once a year. Regular maintenance, such as oiling the pivot and adjusting tension, can also extend the time between sharpenings.
Where are they made?
Depending on the shear. China, Taiwan, or Korea
What handle fits me best?
For professional stylists, the best shear handle depends on your hand ergonomics, cutting technique, and physical health. Handles range from even handles to offset handles and highly advanced, swiveling designs that reduce strain over long work sessions. The most suitable choice is the one that feels most comfortable and helps prevent strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.
What kind of edge is on the shear?
Most Bonika shears are convex.
