FAQ - JW Shears Right Handed S2 Series

Q: What is the JW S2 Series used for?
A: The JW S2 Series is a professional hairdressing shear designed for detailed work, light hair cutting, or powerful cuts . The convex edge provides razor-sharp precision, making it suitable for both intricate detailing and larger section cutting. The S2 Series is described as "a concept made in performance heaven" .

Q: What are the key features of the JW S2 Series?

Q: What makes the offset handle design beneficial?
A: The offset handle design is a key ergonomic feature. It "easily fits into the hand so the wrist, elbow, and shoulder can relax when operating the shears" . This reduces strain during extended cutting sessions, allowing the stylist to cut with their elbow down and wrist in a natural, neutral position. This design helps prevent repetitive strain injuries and reduces hand fatigue.

Q: Does the S2 Series have an adjustable tension system?
A: Yes. The S2 Series features a precision flat screw system . The flat screw design ensures it won't interfere when using a comb, and it can be easily adjusted to achieve the optimal cutting tension for the stylist's preference.

Q: What sizes are available for the JW S2 Series?
A: Right-handed S2 shears are available in multiple sizes: 5.0 inches, 5.5 inches, 6.0 inches, and 7.0 inches . This range allows stylists to choose the length that best fits their hand size and cutting style.

Q: Can the finger rest be removed?
A: Yes. The S2 Series features a removable finger rest (tang) that can be taken off or reinstalled according to stylist preference . This allows for customizable comfort based on individual cutting techniques.

Q: Is there a matching thinner available for the S2 Series?
A: Yes. The S2 Series pairs well with multiple thinning/texturizing options to create a matching combination :

• TS30 Thinner – For general texturizing

• TS14 Texturizer – 14 teeth / 50% cut ratio for weight reduction
