Overview
Kiepe is an Italian scissors brand distributed in the UK through Eson Direct UK Limited, based in North Shields, Tyne and Wear. The brand focuses on professional hairdressing scissors and states that its production process involves ongoing research into materials, finishes, ergonomic design, and manufacturing technologies.
Product Range
Kiepe offers cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. The range covers blunt, slide, and point cutting; volume and texture control; reshaping; layering; bulk removal; blending; and texturizing.
Beyond scissors, Kiepe also sells professional electrical equipment including hair straighteners, clippers, and trimmers. This puts the brand in the broader salon supply category rather than being a scissors only operation.
Availability
Kiepe scissors are available through the brand’s own UK website at kiepe.co.uk, as well as through third party retailers including Direct Hairdressing Scissors and Chris & Sons. The UK distribution base means American stylists may need to factor in international shipping when ordering.
