You must not compromise on the quality of the implements you use; working with imperfect tools can give unpleasant results. So, look out for good, branded ones.
Improper use of superior implements too can produce unpleasant resu1ts, however perfectly they might be made at any reliable factory.1) Scissors
This is the most important tool in haircutting. Both blades should be equally balanced, smooth, and sharp at the tip and the edges.
The correct way to handle scissors is by inserting the ring finger into the ring of the still blade, and placing the little finger on the finger brace. The thumb is inserted into the ring of the movable blade and the index finger is placed on the pivot of the still blade in order to have better control.

3) Combs
Cutting combs are less wide and have narrow spaces on one end and wider spaces on the other. The thumb and index finger are used to hold the comb. While combing, the blades of the scissors are closed, and the thumb is removed from the ring.
4) Thinning Scissors
These tools have single or double-thinning blades, depending on the amount of thinning required. They are quite similar to hair-cutting scissors and are held in the same way, except that they have one or both blades serrated.
