A cutter and a thinner.
Know what the set includes.

Compare the thinner’s teeth and hand separately from the cutter’s length.

A tooth count is a description,
not a removal guarantee.

Try a small section, comb through and assess before repeating. Read the model notes and care guidance alongside the numbers.

READ THE BLADE

What the tooth count tells you.

Tooth count explained →

Every thinner has one straight cutting blade and one toothed blade. Hair is cut only where it sits in the gaps between the teeth. So the number of teeth, and the space between them, decides how the tool divides a section.

Many fine teeth close together take small, scattered strands. The cut disappears into the hair. Fewer, wider teeth take defined pieces, and you see separation. Broad teeth with big gaps take bold pieces out of thick hair, fast.

What the count can’t tell you is a removal percentage. Section size, density, placement and the number of closes change the result as much as the blade. That’s why we lead with the count, show the hand and length beside it, and leave the percentage to your judgement on the bench.

Not sure which job you need? Blending vs debulking sorts it out in five minutes.

WHO SHOPS HERE

Stylists, barbers, apprentices.

Stylists come for a blender that softens a bob’s weight line without leaving a mark, or a texturiser that puts movement into a heavy layer.

Barbers come for fine teeth to close the gap between clipper and scissor, and wide teeth to take bulk off a thick top.

Apprentices come for a first thinner that forgives a misplaced close while they learn. Thirty teeth, 6.0 inches and the right hand is where most start.

Left-handed? The left-handed collection brings the mirrored blades together.
