Advanced cutting skills and manipulating scissors freely are indispensable for creating high quality hair designs. Stephen’s aim was to create scissors that are both effort-less to use and “a simple extension of one’s hand”.
“Nano Powder Metal” promotes longevity, toughness and high durability. To enable the scissors to be slim, thin and light for use in super precise cutting, we have chosen this material due to Stephen’s request to create scissors that are delicate, precise yet strong.
In addition, lightweight and highly balanced design improves ease of use. The long handle and slim body underlie its exquisite balance and lightness, they are easy to use especially on today’s contemporary haircuts. It can be freely manipulated as an extension of the hand from any angle, making it possible to pursue super precise haircutting. We pay more attention to fine details in the haircut creating clean and laser sharp lines.

These new models give you the option of choosing from 5 unique colors that motivate hairstylists. You can choose your favorite color from 4 stylish colors + competition winning model Satin Black & Satin Gold. Satin finish on the surface not only has a design effect that gives a sophisticated impression by suppressing gloss. Also, the hard titanium coating, which is extremely hard and has excellent wear resistance, keeps the appearance beautiful for a long time.
* The hard titanium coating is not applicable to Satin Silver.
