Abstract: A cutting tool is provided for cutting hair. The tool includes an elongate handle arranged to mount a blade member formed of glass material on one end thereof. The blade member includes a cutting edge which comprises a fractured edge of the glass material which has been ground so as to be continuous and smooth in profile. A mounting member is provided for selectively mounting the blade member on the handle so as to permit replacement of the blade member when dull. In use the cutting edge is stroked along a person's hair for tapering the ends of the hairs at random lengths to provide texture to the hair.
