Product range
Four 4420 models are catalogued: the Sargent Professional Barber Shears ($25), the Master Hairdressing Shears ($25), the Chief Ice-Temp Stainless Shears ($30), and the Left-Handed Stainless Shears ($30). All four sit in the $20–$30 entry tier, which makes 4420 one of the lowest-price points among US professional shear brands. The inclusion of a left-handed build at the entry price is notable — many brands reserve southpaw options for mid-range and above.
Who it suits
4420 is aimed at barbers and stylists who need a functional professional shear at an accessible price point: apprentices building their first kit, working professionals who want an inexpensive backup pair, or barbershops that supply house scissors for shared use.
