COVID has made a huge difference in our lives. For one we have started doing many DIY activities that many of us have never done before. For our family it was hair cutting for the 4 of us. Yes since March none of us have been to the salon for hair trim, instead we started cutting hair ourselves a couple times at home starting in the summer, pretty fun and easy actually!!
What have you started doing differently since COVID? Any lifestyle change or DIY (do it yourself) projects? For our family of 4 we haven’t gone out to trim our hair yet or called our housekeeping maids or the landscape services ! In this post I am recommending a brand of scissors that we have personally used and found very useful for any age, gender or length of hair.
Today’s post is a review of XSHIRO 6.5″ X-Series professional hair cutting shears. These premium professional hair cutting scissors can be found on Amazon. If you are a family thinking of trying hair cut or hair trim at home, I would definitely recommend these.

The package includes the 6.5 inches scissors, a leather protection sleeve as well as a cleaning oil and cloth. The scissors have fine adjustable screws to adjust the tightness of the blades, are stainless steel and just the right size.
What is XSHIRO
XSHIRO is a professional Japanese premium stainless steel brand of scissors sold by Ampire. They come with a lifestyle warranty, and are comfortable, safe and easy to use by professionals (salons and barber shops) as well as amateurs (families cutting their kids hair at home)
It has been more than eight months that the pandemic has affected all of us. The things that were routine for us have become a luxury and some times difficult to accomplish. Things have yet to get back to normal but we are trying to adjust in the new normal and doing our best to have a routine with ease. Now with the news of the new vaccine in the horizon and the antibodies in use for some patients, we are very hopeful that 2020 will end on a good note.
Characteristics of XSHIRO 6.5″ X-Series professional hair cutting shears
- Whether you are a professional or do-it-yourself person, a pair of quality shears can greatly improve the final results of a hair cut.
- Quality steel blades make cutting effortless
- For advanced hair cutting techniques and details, there is no beating a super sharp convex edge. The sharper angle on these shears allows for a close and precise cut. This blade type requires more craftsmanship which results in a higher price point
- Tightened and loosened the tension screw with your fingers to your needs
- When it comes to quality and performance, there is no beating the XSHIRO 6.5″ X-Series professional hair cutting shears. Relying on tough and sharp 440C Japanese Stainless steel blades, they will easily last for a lifetime without degrading in performance.
- The longer body provides greater leverage allowing you to effortlessly cut through both thick and wet hair. 6.5” is a perfect length for everyone.

I love this post! 🙂 My husband had to already cut my hair once during the shelter in place time. I have to say he did a pretty good job. 🙂 (There was a misunderstanding about the length, but in the end, I was happy.)
I think it is great that your scissors’ suggestion includes people with thick hair. Thick hair is especially hard to cut.
Thank you Christina! I am glad to know. Same thing with my husband, he did a pretty good job too!
This period has forced people to become creative. I think this is a very nice review of a good product.
Thanks for having a read Viano and def creative juices flowing around!
I’ve always been too nervous to trim my own hair. I also haven’t had a cut or trim since COVID-19. With a kit it definitely seems more likely that I’d go through with it!!
Yvonne yes many of us haven’t got a hair cut since March. If you feel comfortable enough you should go for it
Great tips, I know a lot of people have been doing this on their own… some turn pretty good… some not so much, LOL but it is a pandemic, I figure one day, we will all look back and call it the “Pandemic Cuts” kind of like Mullets.
Haha right Jen, that’s a great thought!!
I’m not good at cutting paper. I don’t trust myself on hair! LOL My son could really use a hair cut, but still I don’t trust myself to do it.
Jennie you can def try on your son once you start feeling comfortable!
I don’t dare to cut my hair xD and then the hairdressers are open and I’m certainly afraid to go out and go there … so!
Whatever you decide, GL!
I love doing my hair at home. This season that we are in has taught us how to be doers for sure.
That’s great Wendy, thanks for sharing!
You are so brave to have cut your hair at home, I have tried that once and I totally regretted it.
Ha! I am not fussy I guess and it was just a trim:)
It looks like a great kit! The most I have been brave enough to do is my bangs. My husband did start cutting his own hair though!
Diana that’s cool! Yes my husband too!
I’m sorry I don’t see my original comment. But i think this is a great idea! I definitely need my hair cut and highlighted but I’m definitely not brave enough to try it myself!
Thanks Diana for taking out the time to comment again! I can understand esp about the highlights, it is tough to start doing these things at home but do give it a try if you can 🙂
It is great to see an example of the tools we need to do our hair cuts at home while we are sheltering in place.
Thanks Jeanne. Yes with some help some things are doable to home
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been cutting my husband’s and daughter’s hair during Covid, but could use an upgrade in tools.
You are very welcome Lauren
Hello, I enjoy reading all of your article. I like to write a little comment to support you.|

I need a hair cut so badly I may try this! Thank you!
Wauw! Great post and thanks for testing the product.
I just received the XSHIRO hair scissor. 3 small girls and 1 boy + my husband and other family members who I could try to give a good looking haircut, so nice! Really happy with it 🙂 Thank you!
