Lumiere

Overview

Lumiere is a Japanese scissors brand based in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, operating from an office in the Eclat Esaka Building. The brand focuses on professional hair shears with proprietary technologies aimed at ergonomics and edge retention.

Product Range

Lumiere’s catalog includes cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. Their listed specialties cover blunt cutting, slide cutting, base cutting, dry cutting, wet cutting, push cutting, and pull cutting. The inclusion of both push cut and pull cut as distinct specialties suggests Lumiere designs models optimized for different directional cutting techniques.

According to Lumiere, their proprietary Hyper System Scissors feature patented Flex Handle technology, which the brand claims helps prevent tendinitis and shoulder stiffness during extended use. The company also describes an “Ever Sharp” technology that reportedly maintains edge sharpness through 1,000 or more haircuts. These are manufacturer claims that ScissorPedia has not independently verified.

Availability

Lumiere scissors are available through third party retailers including Scissors Shop Hayashi (Hasamiya) and Refun. The brand’s own website is lumiere-scissors.com. Distribution appears to be focused primarily on the Japanese domestic market, with some international availability through online retailers.
