The Best Figaro Scissors

The Figaro range

Figaro is a Canadian professional scissor line produced by Takano Canada, a specialty retailer based in Laval, Quebec. The Figaro VR series uses cobalt steel and runs across 5.5 inch (VR-550) and 6.0 inch (VR-600) blade lengths, both at around $290 to $295 through the Takano Canada catalogue.

Takano Canada produces the Figaro line alongside its Kimari and Cutman ranges. The VR designation covers the cobalt-steel series; cobalt additions raise hardness and edge retention beyond standard stainless steel grades, making the Figaro VR a step up from entry-level Canadian market scissors at the same price tier. The series parent page is the VR-600 at 6.0 inches.

Cobalt steel at this specification raises edge retention above standard 440C stainless, useful for stylists cutting dense or coarser hair types. The 5.5 inch VR-550 shares the same construction for stylists who prefer a shorter blade. Available through Takano Canada.
