Heritage
Founded in 2004, Glamtech is a relatively young brand in the professional scissor market.

Product Range
Glamtech produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, left-handed scissors, and razors. Their product specialties span a wide range of techniques including straight cut, slice cutting, blunt cut, feathering, chopping, texturizing, weight removal, bulk removal, and point cut. This breadth suggests a lineup designed to cover most salon needs.
The One range appears to be their entry level line aimed at stylists just starting out, while their premium models target more experienced professionals looking for refined performance.
Market Positioning
Glamtech sits mainly in the budget price tier, with its premium steel models reaching higher. For American stylists, the brand is primarily available through UK based retailers such as Chris & Sons and the Glamtech website directly. The brand’s emphasis on serving both beginners and working professionals gives it a wide target audience.
With distribution in 13 countries, Glamtech has grown steadily from its origins as a small Brighton startup into an internationally available brand. Their range includes razors alongside scissors, so a stylist can cover cutting and razor work from one catalogue.
