Scissors, blades, and working tools in the salon

with Nick Kontos

We invite all groomers and professionals from the grooming industry to a comprehensive seminar focused on working tools – scissors, blades, clippers, and tool maintenance. This is a non-promotional seminar, not tied to specific brands, and fully focused on knowledge and the importance of proper tools in professional work.

WHAT WILL THE SEMINAR COVER?

• Overview of all types of scissors: straight, curved, thinning shears, chunkers – differences between them, their functions, and how to choose the right scissors.
• Differences in scissor handles and how they affect ergonomics, precision, and overall performance – in short, everything about scissors.
• Blades and clippers – why a blade may “vibrate,” how to identify and solve problems, why a new blade sometimes does not cut properly, and much more.
• Proper maintenance and care of working tools – cleaning, sharpening, storage, and extending the lifespan of your equipment.
• Theoretical and practical advice on choosing tools according to individual needs and working style.
