All 2 DH model names
Both current DH models are texturising tools rather than all-purpose cutters, and both are stocked in New Zealand by Scissor City NZ at around 225 NZD. The pair: a 6 inch, 24-tooth Offset Grip thinner and a 5.5 inch Opposing Ergo Grip blending scissor, the SW40S. The retailer’s listing holds current specifications, grip details, and stock.

Product range
Two DH models are both thinning shears at US$140: the Offset Grip 24-Tooth and the Opposing Ergo Grip SW40S. Both are texturising tools. The 24-tooth model delivers medium-weight blending across most hair types; the SW40S uses an opposing ergonomic grip design and is built for stylists who prioritise hand position comfort during extended thinning sessions. For current specifications and availability, the authoritative source is the Direct Hairdressing Scissors storefront, which carries the DH line for the UK professional market.
Buying context
DH scissors are professional blending tools in the entry-level price band. The two models carry US$140 guide prices.
