Beveled scissors are also referred to as German or European scissors because they originated — and are still produced — in Solingen, Germany. German-style cutlery typically has beveled blades, an old-world design with tapered tips. German-style scissors also have micro-serrated blade edges (a very fine notching) to help grip and cut the hair. They work well for blunt end cuts, but aren’t suitable for more advanced techniques like slide cutting.

The price of German-style scissors typically ranges from $25 to $200. This broad spectrum of costs depends on the number of finishing steps, the quality of the work, the number of deluxe features and, to be honest, the brand name.

Beveled blades munch the hair like a sharp axe; convex blades slice the hair like a razor.
