The Best Trophy Scissors

The Trophy range

Trophy is a professional hair shear line distributed in the Canadian salon market through Takano Canada and Elka Beaute. The TY-50 is the catalogued cutting model: a 5.0 inch offset-handle shear with a convex blade, at around $291 through Takano Canada and Elka Beaute.

At 5.0 inches the TY-50 uses a compact blade length that suits detailed work, fringe cutting, and precision finishing. The offset handle drops the thumb below the finger ring, reducing wrist elevation through repeated cutting strokes — a practical ergonomic choice for stylists working full columns. The TY-50 also includes a detachable finger rest, which allows the scissor to be used with or without the rest depending on the stylist’s grip preference.

Trophy sits in the mid-range professional tier at roughly $200 to $400, which positions the TY-50 as an accessible daily-driver scissor for working stylists and barbers in the Canadian market who want a well-specified instrument without a premium price commitment.
