What is the function of a barber's shears?

The function of a barber's shears is primarily to cut hair with precision. Shears are specifically designed for barbering and hairstyling, crafted to provide clean, accurate cuts that contribute to the overall shape and texture of a hairstyle. Their sharp blades and ergonomic design allow barbers to make detailed cuts, enabling them to execute various techniques such as point cutting or texturizing effectively. This precision is essential in achieving the desired look for clients, whether it be a simple trim or a more complex hairstyle.

While styling hair with products, drying hair quickly, and coloring hair are important aspects of barbering, they do not pertain to the specific function of shears, which is exclusively to cut hair.
