Bonika Silk Shears Model A 7"

Bonika Silk Silk Shears Model A 7"   (Bonika A7)

This is the trend setter shear with the 7" length like you have seen on stage at classes by Redken, Scruples and others at the beauty shows. For volume cutting there is nothing like a 7" shear!

This is a quality Japanese steel and Japanese style edge that glides through the hair for a great balanced feel and great cut. It comes with a fully adjustable thumb nut and removeable finger rest. This shear was influenced by the talent of Frances London Dubose who we met at the MidWest Chicago. We struck up a friendship and she helped us design a shear that was priced reasonably yet performed to the expectations of a top notch creative hair artist like Frances. Thanks, Frances! You may see a few with her name on it at her booth at the next MidWest Beauty Show.

How do you decide which shear to buy? These 3 personalities of cutting will help you select the correct shear for your basic style cutting.

Before you begin, first, measure your thumb length from the crease to the tip and add this to the length of your middle finger. This will give you the ideal length for your shears.

Gorilla Cutter

You push your fingers far into the finger holes.
You may be a lefty who cuts with right handed shears.
Your hand strength is unusually strong.
You often cut through thick layers of very coarse hair.

Choose a cast shear with an even handle such as Bonika Silk A Models 5", 5.5", or 6".

Smaller hands like the Silk A5. Larger hands like the Bonika Momma.

Or choose a Bonika Twister which will force you to cut with a more relaxed hand even in a thumb-up position Twister Models.
