work great for me [SEP] i was looking or a some good scissors for hair cuts between salon visits i actually purchased two identical pair except one was and one pair is i was not sure which size would work for me so i bought them both i will give one pair to my daughter i actually prefer the best for some reason it just feels more balanced in my hand both pair cut equally well though i enjoy trimming my cut between visits and i am pretty good at it it actually saves me a lot of money and allows me to visit the salon less often also i sometimes trim my daughters hair and my boyfriends hair i have several beauticians in the family even though i am not so i have learned the basics i got the scissors in quickly and packaged well the scissors fit my hand well but i have smaller hands and fingers i had no issues with that at all i also enjoyed that the scissors are crafted of fine stainless steel and are easy to manipulate i purchased them for testing purposes the pair i received open and close easily and with no issues the scissors were sharp and cut cleanly i am enjoying the scissors and believe they are a very good value as i stated previously i am not a professional beautician but for me using the scissors at home they are perfect i have no complaints or issues and the product i have tried is working very well for me
