Overview
Jyo is a Japanese professional hairdressing shear brand carried by Shear Integrity in the US market. The brand is part of the Utsumi Corporation family, established in 1987 in Settsu City, Osaka, which also produces the BW and U&U product lines — giving Jyo a strong manufacturing heritage within one of Japan’s established professional shear houses.

Product range
Five Jyo models are catalogued here, all from the Hineri series: the Hineri AW, Hineri Sword, Hineri King 85, Hineri OSK 700, and Hineri EUW. The series name — Hineri (捻り) — refers to a twisted or torsioned construction method, applied here to the blade geometry. Steel across the confirmed Hineri models is V10 Cobalt, a cobalt-added Japanese stainless grade that raises hardness and edge retention above standard 440C. Pricing for the Hineri AW, Sword, King 85, and OSK 700 is confirmed at $375; the EUW price is being researched. All five models sit firmly in the professional mid-range.
Manufacturing context
Jyo is one of three professional shear lines from Utsumi Corporation, alongside BW and U&U. The Utsumi Corporation was founded in 1987 in Settsu City, Osaka — an industrial city in the Greater Osaka area with a manufacturing base in precision tools and hardware. The group structure gives Jyo access to the same production infrastructure as the other Utsumi lines, with the Jyo brand specifically reaching the US market through Shear Integrity, a specialty professional scissor retailer.
