Cutting, thinning, and curved shears make up the Akkohs range, which the Seoul company, founded in 1978, sells and supports in-house, from product presentation through fulfilment to after-sales service.[1] Blades run cobalt alloy and Super Gold II, with titanium-coated options; the 7 models span US$195 to US$585 at guide prices in 5.25 to 6.0 inch lengths, through the official Jung-gu storefront and US retailers.
The catalogue spans entry to premium tiers. Entry YW-S series shears span 5.5, 5.75, and 6.75-inch blunt profiles in cobalt alloy, while the YW-S302 thinning shear clocks in at 30 teeth for controlled debulking.[2][3] Curved offerings, such as the Curve 580, add premium pricing and titanium-finished blades for stylists who specialise in contour work.[2][4] Akkohs also keeps high-end Super Gold II and Miracle II builds in stock for cutters demanding harder alloys and longer edge retention.[2]
- YW-S302 thinning shear: 590,000 KRW, 30-tooth geometry with matching offset handle.[2]
- YW-S550 blunt shear: 550,000 KRW for a 5.5-inch cobalt build sized for everyday line work.[2][3]
- Curve 580 shear: 1,100,000 KRW for a 5.8-inch premium curve with titanium finish and matching finger rest hardware.[2][4]
Price points range from the mid-500,000 KRW band up to 1,450,000 KRW for Super Gold II packages, positioning Akkohs squarely in the premium tier.[2] The official shop accepts courier delivery, lists multiple domestic payment methods, and provides escrow verification, giving Korean salons a direct replacement channel without intermediary mark-ups.[1][2]
