Practical example: Custom-made Hairdressing scissors a master hairdresser
A moment of inattention and it's already happened: an accident that leads to incapacity for work and thus throws your life plans into disarray. This is what happened to a master hairdresser who lost the ring finger of her right hand. Although surgery allowed the little finger to be moved to the place of the ring finger, it was not enough to cut hair.
The result: Ms. W. was threatened with lifelong incapacity to work.
The search for a solution
The employers' liability insurance association contacted scissor manufacturers worldwide, but none of them were able to produce customized scissors in small quantities. Until someone came up with the idea of TONDEO .
What the BG representatives found during their visit convinced them: CNC milling technology enables exactly what others cannot achieve—precise, one-off production according to individual requirements.
An unusual project takes shape
After initial discussions about technical feasibility and ergonomic requirements, it was clear that TONDEO SOLINGEN implement this project.
For Arnd Jendick, Head of Production, and Michael Torgau, Design Engineer, this marked the start of a particularly exciting project. They bring over 35 years of experience in shear construction to their work—and it was precisely this expertise that was now in demand.
Master craftsmanship with attention to detail
This is an exciting project, especially for Arnd Jendick, Head of Production, and Michael Torgau, Design Engineer, who are responsible TONDEO the entire range of scissors at TONDEO . Together, they have over 35 years of expertise in production/design, and every TONDEO can feel their attention to detail as soon as they hold a pair of scissors in their hands.
Just four weeks later, Ms. W. was able to hold the first plastic sample in her hands.
From the first sample to the perfect fit
Just four weeks later, Ms. W. had her first plastic sample in her hands.
"That was the first time I felt truly understood," she recalls. "Others always said, 'Just cut with another finger.' But I didn't want to just cut hair—I wanted to work at the same high standard as before the accident. Cutting hair is my passion."
The test revealed that these scissors would do the job. After a few minor adjustments, the final scissors could be milled from steel—a truly one-off production that was only possible thanks to innovative CNC technology.
Back at work
Today, Ms. W. is back at work in her salon. The custom-made scissors enable her to cut with precision and achieve the high standards she sets for herself.
For the team at TONDEO Solingen , itSolingen more than just a job—it was a passion project that demonstrated what Craftsmanship precision technology are really for: giving people new opportunities.
