Cutting Shears

      How to Choose Your Scissors 

1. Choose Your Cutting Technique

Blunt Cut: Clean, straight lines

Slide Cut: Soft, textured finish

All-Rounder: Blunt & Slide Cut

2. Pick the Right Blade Type

Straight : Blunt Cut   

Curved : Slide Cut 

Slightly Curved : All-Rounder

3. Select a Comfortable Handle

Symmetric: Classic, even rings

Offset: Reduces fatigue, improves efficiency

Crane: Lowers arm/elbow strain, ideal for seated cutting

 

4. Decide on Length

Scissors range from 5.0"- 5.5" to 6.5"- 7.5".
Most stylists prefer 6",  while longer shears are often used for men’s cuts or specific salon needs.

 

5. Check the Origin

For premium shears, always look for the mark “Made in Japan.”
This mark is your guarantee of authentic Japanese craftsmanship, trusted steel quality, and lasting performance.
If a product only says “Japanese Steel” without an origin mark, be cautious—it may not offer the same standard.
