Kiepe Professional Studio Style Relax Ergonomic 5.5 Inch Cutting Scissor

Ergonomic 5.5 Inch Cutting Scissor Built for Long Days Behind the Chair

The Kiepe Professional Studio Style Relax Ergonomic 5.5 Inch Cutting Scissor is a professional hairdressing and barbering shear designed around comfort as much as cutting performance. The 5.5 inch length is the most widely used size behind the chair, long enough for dry cutting and over-comb work yet short enough to stay controllable in point cutting and detail work. The Relax ergonomic handle is the point of the design: it shifts the hand into a more natural position, so the wrist is not held at an awkward angle all day.

Key Features

• Relax ergonomic handle: The handle geometry lets the hand sit in a more natural position, which eases the wrist and shoulder during hours of repeated cutting.
• 5.5 inch working length: A versatile all-round size that suits club cutting, slice cutting, point cutting and scissor-over-comb.
• Stainless steel blades: Stainless construction is the professional standard for a shear that lives at a wet station and gets cleaned between every client.
• Comfort-led design: The Studio Style Relax family exists specifically to address hand fatigue, which is the complaint most stylists have by the end of a long shift.
• Suits fine and detailed work: The shorter length keeps the tip close to your fingers, which is what you want when you are point cutting an outline or softening a fringe.

How to Use

1. Check the blade tension before you start: the open blade should fall slowly under its own weight rather than dropping shut or sticking.
2. Rest your thumb loosely in the lower ring and let the ring finger carry the upper handle, keeping the elbow low and the shoulder relaxed.
3. Cut with the thumb blade only, keeping the other blade steady against the section for a clean, even line.
4. Wipe the blades clean of hair and product after each client and clean the shear according to your usual station routine.
5. Apply a drop of scissor oil to the pivot regularly and store the scissor in a case, away from other tools that could knock the edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 5.5 inch the right length for me?

It is the most common professional length and a safe choice for general cutting. Shorter shears favour close detail work, while longer shears suit heavy over-comb and barbering.

What does the ergonomic handle actually change?

It positions the hand more naturally so your wrist is not twisted into the cut. Over a full day of appointments that is what most stylists feel the difference in.

How should the tension be set?

Adjust in small steps until the open blade falls slowly on its own. Too loose and the blades fold hair instead of cutting it; too tight and you wear the edge down faster.

How often should it be oiled?

A drop of scissor oil at the pivot at the end of each working day keeps the action smooth and helps clear trapped hair particles.
