What are the best TENYO scissors?
The Perfect Cut (US$400) and FF-60 Thinning (US$400) share the entry price point. The S7 (US$450) is the top catalogued cutting model. All three are handmade by Tenyo Corporation in Osaka in the brand's established craftsmanship tradition.
TENYO’s continuity across its 2016 ownership transition reflects the value placed on the Sadaharu Ebi handmaking tradition the brand carries. Two cutters and a thinner cover the main professional needs; the S7 at 7.0 inches suits stylists working with longer hair.
