Professional Summary

Why Professionals Choose the 6.5"

Not every stylist works best with the same blade length.

For professionals who regularly cut longer hair, perform scissor-over-comb techniques or simply prefer a little more reach, a 6.5-inch scissor can improve workflow efficiency by covering more hair with each cut.

The EVOLVE 6.5" is designed to make those techniques feel controlled rather than oversized. Its balanced 62-gram weight, ergonomic offset handle and Sword Mountain blade work together to create a scissor that feels stable during powerful cutting while remaining refined enough for everyday salon work.

Many experienced barbers also appreciate the additional blade length when creating clean tapers, blending clipper work and cutting larger sections with fewer passes.

The EVOLVE Design Story

The EVOLVE Series represents the next stage in iCandy's design evolution.

Developed as the successor to the original ALL STAR design philosophy, EVOLVE brings together nearly two decades of product refinement with premium materials, modern ergonomics and a cleaner visual identity.

The Silver finish reflects the timeless aesthetic preferred by professionals who appreciate understated tools that let cutting performance speak for itself.

For stylists wanting a traditional appearance with contemporary engineering, the EVOLVE Silver remains one of the most versatile scissors in the iCandy range.

VG10 Steel & Blade Performance

The EVOLVE 6.5" is crafted using VG10 Japanese stainless steel, selected for its combination of edge retention, strength and corrosion resistance.

Its 76 mm Sword Mountain convex blade provides additional cutting reach while maintaining a fine cutting edge capable of producing clean, precise lines.

Professionals who regularly cut thicker sections often appreciate the longer blade because it reduces the number of cutting strokes required while maintaining excellent accuracy.

With regular oiling, correct tension adjustment and professional servicing, VG10 steel provides dependable long-term salon performance.

Ergonomic Comfort

Longer scissors should never feel heavy.

The EVOLVE has been engineered with:

• ergonomic offset handle
• fixed finger rest
• balanced 62 g weight
• Japanese tension screw
• ball-bearing pivot system

Together these features encourage relaxed hand positioning and smooth blade movement during repetitive professional cutting.

Best Cutting Techniques

The 6.5" EVOLVE is particularly suited to:

• Scissor-over-comb
• Barbering
• Long-section cutting
• Blunt cutting
• Layering
• Precision perimeter work
• Dry cutting
• Slide cutting
• Club cutting

While it remains versatile enough for everyday salon work, professionals focused on highly detailed precision around fringes or intricate short cuts may prefer the EVOLVE 6.0".

• Professional barbers
