What are the best Redspot scissors?
The Klassix Opposing (US$35) is the standard opposing-handle cutter. The Klassix Thinner (US$35) is the matching thinning shear. The Klassix Offset (US$35) offers an offset handle variation. All three sit at the same price point and are available through D. MacIntyre and Son and hairdressing supply wholesalers.
Redspot targets the college kit list: convex edges and offset ergonomics at a price that stays below the cost of a single premium shear. The brand is pitched to students who need a serviceable pair for assessments without committing to a long-term investment. The wider Redspot range also includes a student set.
