What are the best HASAMI scissors?
The Dola, around US$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 US$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 US$288, is a 6.25 inch VG-10 cutting shear with a matching thinning version available. The Doly, around US$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.

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, with listed specialties including 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. In practice that means a range built for stylists who use texture techniques alongside standard cutting, not one 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. Prices are listed in CAD on ciseauxhasami.ca and converted to USD below.
