i'm graduation school on friday, and starting to stock up on everything i will need for a salon.

i've got a cheap pair of thinning/texturizing shears and i want to get a nicer pair.

i don't want to spend much more than $100, but i will if necessary.

suggestions?

i also need a new pair of clippers, as i dropped mine and they are cheap, anyway. i've been looking at a few andis models at work, but i have no idea how good or bad they are.

if any cosmetologists have any ideas (or you just want to let me know what you're using right now) i would appreciate it! thanks!
i am using wahls right now, and they just feel cheap to me.

i work at sally beauty supply, too
i try to ask other stylists who come in what they use, and it tends to be either andis or oster.

I am a barber. My advice is to get a pair of "blending shears" NOT thinning and they should have no less that 39 teeth Tondeo blenders are expensive but very very good about $150 and up but the downside is they are kind of hard to find if you cant try Fromm they also have a good quality blender. The difference between them is that blenders balance the hair and can give you a texturized look (use them only on the ends of the hair!!) "texturizing shears" (less that 20 or so teeth) chop the hair up they damage the haircut more than doing any so called texturizing and never, ever, ever use your blenders near the scalp only at the ends. On the clipper question, if you want an excellent clipper use Oster Fast Feed they will never fail you and they are also great for tapering and make sure to get you a finishing clipper (for necklines) use the Oster T- finisher it has a t-blade that is absolutely without a doubt the best at making a perfect neckline. You are only as good as your tools so if you buy crap your work will be crap, but if you buy quality..you get the idea. Hope this helps.
