Thinning scissors - recommendations?

:) Hi there, stray Old Styler wandering in, hoping for some advice.

I'm intending to buy a pair of thinning scissors, for personal not professional use. I'm seeing pro grade thinners in the £45-£75 range and a twin pack of scissors & thinners at £7.99 from B00ts and nothing in between.

It's my belief that the B00ts ones are probably too cheap to be any good, but I'd rather spend a bit less than £45 if I could get a reasonable product.

If anyone has personal or professional experience they could share, I would appreciate your comments. Thank you, GQ xx

    I have THESE, they're great. Be sure to comb out every single tiny knot before using them - if you don't, you'll know about it :D

    Pound world do them too in a twin pack with some hairdressing scissors. I'm a former hairdresser and lost mine and these have been great.
    Worth a pound I'd say :-)
