What is the recommended way to handle scissors when not in use?

Keeping scissors closed and secured when not in use is essential for safety and longevity of the tools. This practice helps prevent accidental cuts or injuries to both the barber and clients, as well as safeguarding the scissors from potential damage. Proper storage also prolongs the sharpness of the blades and protects them from collecting dust or moisture that can lead to rusting.

Additionally, it fosters a professional work environment, reflecting a commitment to safety standards. Most professional guidelines recommend that sharp tools should always be handled with care and stored responsibly to ensure they are ready for safe use when needed.
