Side by Side Comparison of: Goody vs Diane vs Cricket vs Soft 'N Style vs Conair

Use these to trim my own ends every so often from home. They are very sharp and small enough to fit easily into my own hand while trimming ends.

Just bought this pair, arrived today--two days early and used them immediately to trim my bangs and neck line. Sharp, easy to hold and use. I recommend them highly!

Brought these shears to trim my ends and they are great.I do not need large shears and this size was perfectfor me. I have to admit the price was also great.

Ever since a particularly bad experience at the salon I decided to take matters into my own hands and cut my hair at home. I realized that my first step was purchasing the actual scissors themselves, so I ordered these based on their approval rating and I am more than satisfied. They are extremely sharp and easy to handle, and compared to some of the other ones I had purchased they were a lot more manageable! It's been a couple of months since I bought them and they have saved me so much money, and HAIR. I mostly cut my hair when it starts getting split ends or for a light dusting here and there. Overall a great purchase.

I've wanted to cut my own hair forever to save money, but I've always been so afraid. Finally, weeks of scheduling conflicts with my salon, and desperation for a haircut drove me to the breaking point, and I decided to go for it!I'm very much a DIY person with all things beauty, so I really don't know what took me so long to cut my own hair; after using these, and following farahdhukai's video on youtube to the T, I can honestly say I will never be going back to a salon. Not that I didn't love my salon- I did! But I usually spent about $65 per cut, and the cost of all my materials was less than half that. I also know myself well, and know exactly what I want from a haircut, so after following Farah's video, I was able to trim and edit to my liking. I'm in college, and at such a high price for a cut, I could only afford to get it done every 3 monthes, and my hair was miserable by then.I have very long, thin blonde hair that's prone to breakage, and is easily weighed down by products. I know typically you wouldn't use thinning shears on fine hair, but it worked out extremely well for me- weight is the enemy of thin hair!! These shears also helped blended the layers very well.In addition to these, I bought a small, simple pair of shears just for touch ups!If you're looking to start cutting your hair at home, I highly recommend these shears and checking out Farah's video!Happy Styling! :)

Good value. I'm new to cutting my own hair. These scissors are extremely sharp. I am very impressed with this pair.

the screw holding the blades together fell out... but i was able to get a screwdriver and reinsert. the blades themselves are very sharp and seem good quality for the price.

Product as described. Nothing special. Works fine.

The scissors are great for what I needed them for trimming bangs and such

Good price and fast shipping. Thanks!

I lost my scissors and needed a quick and cheap replacement. These aren't y favorite, but they work. They're sharp, but not as smooth and easy to use. They're fine for now though.

These scissors are pretty small. But for what I need - trimming my bangs and my husband's hair - they work. They are very sharp right out of the package. I don't know how they'll hold up over the course of years, but the first few weeks out of the package they have been good.

nice

Not terribly high quality but it worked for a while

I was a bit disappointed in theses scissors, as the middle was a bit bowed to where it was hard to make it cut. I would probably spend a bit more for a better pair of scissors next time.

These feel "grabby" when trying to cut my hair. They seem sharp enough, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

I purchased these scissors to trim my dogs hair. I've used similar scissors for awhile and have had no problems. These work fine but are not that sharp. I usually have to cut with a certain angle for them to work well. Overall, for the price, they are okay but the quality is not the best.

The scissors are sharp and do the job, but the handles are so small and difficult to fit your fingers through...they are a bit uncomfortable. Maybe this is normal with this type of scissors, I don't know. Otherwise these are the trusted Goody brand and they'll get the job done if you know how to use them correctly.

When they worked they were fine, but these shears did not last a month. The very small rivet was stripped.

The scissors cut fine in the middle of the blade. However, the tips of the blades don't come together right and they don't cut the hair -- they just shred it. I tried adjusting the screw and that didn't help at all.These are not great scissors if you want to cut with precision.

Disappointing. Our older cheap utility shears cut and trim better. Semi useless shears, loosened up immediately, tightened several times and they just loosened every time. Can't finely trim hair with tip of shears even when tightened although shears seem sharp.

These don't seem to be as sharp as most hair cutting shears. Cheaply made too.

These cutting shears were no good. After snipping of a couple bits of my hair, the screw that held together the two bladess came unloose and wouldn't tighten up again.

I purchased these Goody 6.5" Hair Cutting Scissors to do minor trimming on my own hair and I was disappointed to find they were dull, too dull to trim bangs. I decided to keep them and use them for household purposes but within a week the screw came out and I had to put them back together. I wouldn't recommend this product due to quality.

These might be ok to trim a strand of 3 hairs, but beyond that they cannot handle a normal haircut. If you want a choppy haircut buy these.

These are terrible! I usually like goody products and the cutting sheers are really pretty nice. But these.... Do not waste your money... They do not cut hair, just shred and tear. (My hair is on the normal to fine side.)

I have been using another pair of thinning shears for years to trim my bangs. They always thin my bangs very well. They finally broke and I ordered these because Goody products are generally well-made.Boy, was I wrong in this case! These are so dull they would not cut my hair. The blade is very thick and extremely blunt. I couldn't manage to get them to cut even a little bit. I will be looking for better shears. I'm not positive but I believe my last pair were made by Conair and they worked like a dream.

The very first time I used these the screw fell out while cutting my sons hair. I tightened but kept coming loose. I was being cheap and bought these but I will be going with more expensive ones next time.

Broke after a couple of uses. The picture makes it look like the bolt holding them together is metal, but it's plastic. It's a shame since the blades looked fine.

Not sure what to think. Guess you get what you pay for? They seemed rather dull. I've been more impressed with Sally Hansen scissors at the same price. Only problem is they don't sell SH anymore.
