About Excellent Edges
Excellent Edges is an Australian scissor company that has been in operation since 1988, making it one of the longest running companies in Australia focused exclusively on professional hairdressing scissors. The company is headquartered in Ringwood, Victoria, and sources all steel materials from Japan.
According to Excellent Edges, every scissor (including their Japanese brand imports) goes through their own workshop procedures before reaching the customer. The company’s motto is “Scissors for the Serious.”
Product Range
Excellent Edges produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, left-handed scissors, and accessories. Their scissor specialties include blunt cut, texturizing, texture control, point cut, chipping, wet cutting, and dry cutting.
The company takes a technique specific approach to their lineup. Rather than offering one scissor that tries to do everything, most of their models are designed for particular cutting styles. They do also carry some all rounder options for stylists who prefer a single pair.
Beyond scissors, Excellent Edges stocks a range of accessories including combs, brushes, clips, pouches, cases, and mannequin heads.
Warranty and Returns
Excellent Edges offers a 30 day exchange policy on purchases, no questions asked. They also provide a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects. If a fault is found, the company states that the product will be replaced or repaired.
Heritage
Founded in 1988, Excellent Edges has over three decades in the professional scissor business. The company describes itself as the longest standing Australian company devoted solely to producing scissors for hairdressers. Their consistent focus on one product category across that timespan is relatively uncommon in the industry.
Market Positioning
Excellent Edges sits in the mid range price tier. For American stylists, the brand is available through Spencer Scissors in the UK and through the Excellent Edges website directly. The Australian base and Japanese sourced steel give the brand a distinct identity in a market often dominated by Japanese and German manufacturers.
