What are the best HASAMI scissors?
The Dola, around $179, is HASAMI's entry cutting shear — a VG-10 offset convex pair at 6.0 inch for stylists moving into the HASAMI range. The Slim, around $215, is the thinnest and lightest shear in the catalogue at 5.5 inch, described by the brand as suited to all haircut types. The Moko, around $288, is a 6.25 inch VG-10 cutting shear with a matching thinning version available. The Doly, around $310, is the dedicated VG-10 thinning shear in the HASAMI range, available in 16-tooth and 27-tooth configurations across 6.2, 6.5, and 6.8 inch. The GSC, around $364, is the ergonomic offset model — a curved grip design built to reduce thumb travel distance and elbow rise during cutting, available from 5.0 to 7.0 inch.
VG-10 is a Japanese stainless steel grade that includes vanadium and cobalt in its alloy composition. HASAMI lists VG-10 across its cutting and thinning models. The brand specialises in blending and finishing techniques — the listed specialties include invisible blending, natural finish, slide cutting, weight removal, and soft tip cutting — which shapes the shear designs toward texture work and smooth finishing rather than purely blunt precision. All models include a case and are sold direct through ciseauxhasami.ca, which ships within the Canadian market in English and French.

The HASAMI range
HASAMI is a Canadian brand from Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson, Quebec, operated by Ciseauxhasami. The name is the Japanese word for scissors. The range covers cutting shears, thinning shears, and left-handed models, all sold direct through ciseauxhasami.ca in English and French.
VG-10 steel runs across the cutting and thinning catalogue. The brand’s stated specialties lean toward blending and finishing work: invisible blending, natural finish, slide cutting, soft tip cutting, and weight removal. The practical shape of that is a range built for stylists who use texture techniques alongside standard cutting — not a range pitched solely at precision blunt work.
Handle geometry is offset throughout the main catalogue. The GSC model adds a curved ergonomic grip to the standard offset, described by the brand as reducing thumb travel distance and elbow rise. Price in CAD on ciseauxhasami.ca; converted to USD below.
The five picks
1. HASAMI Dola (guide price around $179). HASAMI’s entry cutting shear in VG-10 steel with an offset convex blade at 6.0 inch. The Dola is the lowest-priced cutting shear in the HASAMI catalogue with a confirmed guide price, and a matching thinning version is available separately. A practical starting point for stylists who want to try the HASAMI range before committing to the mid-tier models. Available through HASAMI PROFESSIONEL.
2. HASAMI Slim 5.5” (around $215). The thinnest and lightest shear in the HASAMI range, at 5.5 inch in VG-10 steel with a convex blade and offset handle. HASAMI describes the Slim as suited to all haircut types — the light build makes it a practical option for stylists who find standard-weight shears tiring across a full day. Available in 5.5 inch. Available through HASAMI PROFESSIONEL.
3. HASAMI Moko 6” (around $288). A VG-10 convex offset cutting shear at 6.25 inch. The Moko has a matching thinning version available, and the pair can be purchased as a set. Sits in the mid-range of the HASAMI cutting catalogue. Available through HASAMI PROFESSIONEL.
4. HASAMI Doly (around $310). HASAMI’s dedicated thinning shear in VG-10 steel, available in 16-tooth and 27-tooth configurations across 6.2, 6.5, and 6.8 inch lengths, with a rose gold finish option. The two tooth counts give stylists a choice between lower removal rate (16-tooth, for subtle blending) and higher removal rate (27-tooth, for weight reduction in thick sections). Available through HASAMI PROFESSIONEL.
5. HASAMI GSC (around $364). HASAMI’s ergonomic offset cutting shear in VG-10 steel, available in 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0 inch. The GSC handle is a curved grip design documented by the brand as reducing thumb travel distance and elbow rise during cutting — aimed at stylists who want ergonomic offset geometry alongside the standard VG-10 convex edge. The widest size run in the HASAMI cutting range. Available through HASAMI PROFESSIONEL.

The HASAMI Fit (around $474) is the premium VG-10 model in fixed and swivel handle versions at 5.5, 6.0, and 7.0 inch.
