A note on the pairing. The smartest investment an apprentice can make. Instead of burning money on low to mid-quality scissors that don’t suit your technique, this set gives you three professional-grade tools from day one. Each scissor is a proven bestseller on its own, bundled here to create the strongest foundation for your career.
Most apprentices spend years buying and replacing scissors as they discover their preferences. With this set, you skip the trial and error. You get scissors that are ergonomic, versatile, and built to last, meaning you’ll outgrow your apprenticeship long before you outgrow this kit.
