Overview
Mirage is a South Korean professional hairdressing shear brand with wide distribution across the US market. The brand is carried by five established professional shear retailers: Scissor Mall, SHEAR INTEGRITY, Scissor Dude, Dynamic Sharpening LLC, and EDGEMASTER INTERNATIONAL.
Distribution
Mirage’s presence across multiple specialty retailers reflects a solid foothold in the professional market. Distributors cover both coasts and serve stylists, barbers, and groomers. One retailer (SCISSOR Dude) lists Mirage under a “Shisato Mirage” category, and the authoritative source for that relationship is the retailer’s own catalogue listing.
Product Range
Mirage sits in the mid-range pricing tier and offers both cutting and thinning shears across multiple models. For the latest model specifications, handle configurations, and availability, the authoritative source is each retailer’s listings.
Product range overview
Four Mirage models are catalogued, priced from $369 to $395 — a tight mid-to-upper professional price band. The four builds cover the core professional cutting and thinning requirements within a consistent price tier. For current model specifications and availability, the authoritative source is the retailer carrying Mirage for the relevant market.
