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’s catalog includes cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. The specialty list is wide: blunt cutting, slide cutting, point cutting, volume control, texture control, cut and thinning, reshaping, detailing fine textures, layering, reducing bulk, blending, and texturizing. That variety of listed techniques suggests a product line built to cover most standard salon cutting needs.
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.
What We Know So Far
Kiepe’s founding year is not confirmed in our records, and the country of origin for the scissors is listed as Italy.

ScissorPedia will update this profile as more technical specifications become accessible. If you have firsthand experience with Kiepe scissors, feel free to reach out through our contact page.
