15%, 25%, 35% Hair Thinning Shears - Crest

How much hair a thinner removes per close is the single most important spec on the tool — and the Crest lets you choose it. Available in 15%, 25%, or 35% removal rates, these 6-inch Intelio Steel shears let you match the tooth pattern to the job: subtle surface softening, all-purpose blending, or aggressive weight removal.

VG-10: A Cut Above Standard Stainless

The blades are ground from premium Japanese VG-10 stainless steel, a high-end cutlery steel prized for exceptional sharpness, wear resistance, and durability. In a texturizing shear, that translates to teeth that stay crisp and a cutting edge that keeps blending clean instead of grabbing.

Comfort and Control

An easy tension adjustment system lets you dial the action to your preference in seconds. The sleek ergonomic handle with comfort finger rest keeps control high and hand fatigue low through back-to-back services.

Which Rate Should You Choose?

As a rule of thumb: 15% for fine hair and finishing passes, 25% as the versatile everyday blender, 35% when you need to move real weight out of dense hair quickly.
