How we chose
The five picks cover the practical width of the Wings range — the core standard models (Silver, Matt Black, Pure) that give stylists different handle, finish, and handedness options at similar price points, and the two Custom Shop models that represent the premium end of the catalogue. All five are cutting scissors in cobalt alloy, made in Japan. Confirm current availability with retailers before purchasing.
The wider Wings catalogue
The Wings catalogue also includes the Gold and Dark Grey in the standard line (both around $500), the Rose Gold and Tiger at $540 and $565, and the Black Les Paul Inspired limited-edition design at $487. All 10 catalogued Wings models are cutting scissors.
