FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE
Jean François Desmars explains how Exthand
brand was born. “Scissors are around 2000
years old and their use has hardly changed.
The only thing that has evolved is the quality of
the sharpening and a more attractive design.
But, as for its use, nothing has changed.
Whether used to cut fabric, paper at school, or
in an office or a hairdresser's, the use has
always been the same! And until now, nobody
has asked the question of whether the
traditional pair of scissors is suitable for
hairdressing. In 2005, Julien Gandon, an
ergonomics engineer, observed many
hairdressers in his entourage suffering from
pain in the upper limbs. He analyzed in detail
the postures of hairdressers. After years of
research and development, he created a pair
of scissors that were truly adapted to the
specific gestures of the profession. This was
the birth of Exthand scissors! We met Julien
who was looking for a company present in the
educational and professional sector to partner
with him. We found that this tool was perfectly
suitable, totally unique, and without any
hesitation we took charge of the development
and the commercialization of Exthand scissors
in France and around the world.”
