The Best Scissor Hands Scissors

The Scissor Hands range

Scissor Hands was founded in 2006 by working hairdressers and is based in Silsden, West Yorkshire. The brand offers in-house repair to factory standards and runs salon and online training. Three models carry guide prices of US$350 to US$500 in steels up to VG10, ATS-314, and Damascus.

Scissor Hands differentiates itself through service: the founders’ salon background informed the designs, and the in-house repair offer means buyers have a direct route back to the maker for resharpening and restoration. The EVO texturising and Soft Cut thinning designs are part of a wider range alongside the cutting models catalogued here.
