Salon director Jung Sunghoon founded Biyosekkai in 2007 in Gwacheon-si, after around 20 years in the beauty trade across Korea and Japan. Different hands work different stages of each shear; the South Korean brand says every craftsman specialises in one part of production, finishing blades cut from imported Japanese steel plate, VG10 among the grades. It sells direct at biyosekkai.com.
Overview
Biyosekkai is a South Korean scissors brand headquartered in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do. The brand name comes from Japanese: “biyo” (beauty) and “sekkai” (world). According to the brand, its founder Jung Sunghoon has roughly 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, split between Korea and Japan, including 13 years as a salon director. He also spent five years working at a Japanese scissor specialty company before founding Biyosekkai.
The company manufactures handmade scissors and sells them directly to professionals through its own online store. According to Biyosekkai, the direct sales model lets them cut distribution costs and offer lower prices for the same quality level.
