If you do not know how to use hair cutting scissors then no...these scissors might not work for you. Scissors of all kinds are made for right handed people so if you are not right handed...then yes these scissors will rip your hair because they were not made for you. There is also a technique to cutting hair...that is why there are stylists who obtain a license to professionally cut hair. For all of you who are writing these bad reviews...you must not understand the proper way to use these scissors, they work just fine, and no these are not expensive scissors... in fact they are extremely inexpensive...have you researched high end scissors? some run as high as 700$. If you want cheap scissors use the scissors that come with the wahl trimming kit, especially if you want to look like a bum.

I use these scissors to cut my one-and-a-half year old's hair. It works great--I honestly don't understand these bad reviews.

These scissors must be a product defect. Worst thing Ive ever spent money on and haven't ordered from drugstore.com since. Buyer beware.

Too bad you don't offer zero stars as an option. These scissors are so dull that they wouldn't even cut through my hair and actually started ripping the hair in order to complete a cut. In addition to their horrible cutting qualities, they are also quite expensive! If you need hair scissors, just grab your kitchen or sewing shears, which will surely outperform these clunkers!

I wanted some nice scissors to trim my bangs and hair in between cuts. These are horrible! The blades are bent awkwardly so they don't cut. I tried to fix them but I couldn't. My son's safety scissors would probably cut better.
