About Elite Scissors
Elite Scissors is an Australian scissors brand founded in 2022 by Kylie and Mick Dwyer. According to the company, the founders have over 32 years of combined experience in the hair industry as salon owners, educators, app developers, and content creators.
Product Range
Elite Scissors produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, left-handed scissors, and accessories. Their specialties cover blunt cutting, slide cutting, point cutting, volume control, texture control, combined cut and thinning, and slicing.
According to the brand, Kylie Dwyer led the design process in collaboration with scissor designers and manufacturers from multiple countries. The stated goal was to build a range that addresses the practical needs of working stylists. Elite reports using high grade steel and ergonomic handle designs across their product line.
Background
Kylie Dwyer is described as a hair cutting educator in Australia who conducts workshops and developed the SNIPT streaming app for on demand haircutting education. That education background informs the brand’s approach to scissor design, with an emphasis on how tools perform during actual cutting techniques.

Elite Scissors sells directly through their official website. The brand is relatively new, having launched in 2022, so its retail distribution network is still developing.
