About
Karma is a professional hair shear line created by Scissors Master, a Quebec-based specialty retailer and sharpener operating out of Saint-Jérôme, QC, under 9370-3080 Quebec Inc. The brand was built for the shop’s own salon and barber customers rather than as a separate manufacturer label, so there is no standalone Karma website; the line lives on the Scissors Master storefront. It is also stocked by Novyco, another Quebec retailer, so the range circulates beyond a single store.
Product range and steel
The catalogue spans a number of named models, including the Libra, Yugo, Leroy, Kazu, and Kaya, with cutting shears alongside thinning and texturising variants, left-handed options, and swivel-thumb designs. Karma describes its blades as high-quality Japanese steel (“acier japonais de haute qualité”). For the steel grade of a specific model, consult Karma’s official listings or an authorized retailer.
For current model specifications, handle options, sizing, and availability, the authoritative source is the Karma collection on the Scissors Master storefront.
Product range
Six Karma models are catalogued across cutting, thinning, and swivel builds. The cutting range includes the Libra, Yugo, and Leroy Swivel — with the Swivel indicating a rotating thumb ring on the Leroy for stylists who reduce thumb tension during cutting. The thinning and blending range includes the Skinny, the Libra Thinning, and the Yugo No Liner Blender. Pricing on all six is being researched; the authoritative source for current specifications and prices is the retailer carrying Karma for the relevant market.
Who it suits
Karma’s catalogue covers the main technique categories — standard cutting, swivel-thumb cutting for ergonomic relief, light thinning (Skinny), and blending (Yugo No Liner Blender) — giving buyers the option to build a complete professional kit within a single brand.
