I love these!! I was using another brand that okay but I wanted something better. I was at the IBS in NY and for the whole hair show I kept looking for a pair I liked. I came across these and loved them. The length, weight, swivel, and they fit perfectly in my hands with the rubber eye ring put in ( the blue and the black are really cool). I have really small hands and finding shears that are long and for hand my size ( with the eye rings fitting well too! ) is very rare. They cut hair very very well! They are very very sharp and I mean sharp. They don't cramp up my hand. They don't slip or get stuck on my hand. They also look really cool. The black was a very fitting color for me.
