2 Omega picks from $364 to $392 via Takano Canada

1. Omega L65 Cutting Scissors (guide price around $364). Made in Japan and distributed through Takano Canada, it represents a practical choice for stylists who want a well-specified Japanese scissor at a mid-range price point.

2. Omega AX Thinning Scissors (guide price around $392). The Omega AX series spans three tooth counts — AX-15, AX-25, and AX-30 — covering light through to moderate thinning in a single line. Fewer teeth (AX-15) remove more hair per pass for bulk work; more teeth (AX-30) take finer amounts for blending and soft-finish texturising.
