Haito tops out at US$75 at guide prices. Hair Tools Ltd supplies the student-focused range from Yorkshire, and the 12 models start from US$32, in 5.0 to 7.0 inch lengths. Most pairs use Japanese stainless steel with convex blades and offset handles, which puts slide-cut capable edges in reach of trainees building a first kit.
Overview
Haito is a professional hair shear brand owned by Hair Tools Ltd, based in Yorkshire, UK. Hair Tools is a broader salon equipment company that also handles Parlux dryer distribution and produces the Head Jog brand. Haito is positioned as a budget-friendly line aimed at students and entry-level stylists, using Japanese stainless steel with convex blade construction.
Product Range
The Haito catalog includes both cutting and thinning scissors. Known models include:
- Basix - The most affordable option, featuring semi-convex blades in three sizes
- Ekubo - Handmade Japanese stainless steel, convex hollow-ground blades, offset handles
- Kishi - Black Teflon coating, includes quilted storage wallet
- Sukai - Metallic blue titanium finish
- Yoru - Metallic black Teflon coating
- Koru - Black Teflon with lime-green accents
The use of convex, hollow-ground blades at this price point is a real strength. Convex geometry suits slide cutting and point cutting techniques, and Haito’s blade construction gives students access to these techniques early in their training.
Distribution
Haito is a UK-market brand with limited international availability. Confirmed UK retailers include Direct Hairdressing Scissors, Capital Hair & Beauty, Alan Howard, Adel Direct, and Aston & Fincher. Hair Tools also lists the brand on its own website at hairtools.co.uk. For stylists outside the UK, availability is limited and international shipping from UK retailers may add cost.
