Changed my mind about those cheap shears from the beauty supply store
I always bought the $25 shears from the local supply place, thinking it was fine to save money there. Then I got a tough client with super thick, coarse hair that was wrecking my hands and my cheap blades. My mentor finally pushed me to invest in a real pair of Japanese steel shears, which cost me about $280. The difference is night and day. My cuts are cleaner, my hand doesn't cramp after a full day, and they just glide through hair like butter. I was wrong to think all cutting tools were basically the same. That one purchase saved my wrists and my sanity. What's a good mid-range brand to try for someone who isn't ready to drop three hundred bucks?

Look for a brand that offers a sharpening program. A decent $150 shear is useless if you can't get it properly serviced. Some companies include a few free sharpenings, which saves cash and keeps the edge right.
