Overview
Nikko is a UK based scissor brand produced by Scissors Craft, headquartered in Northolt, Middlesex. The brand focuses on hairdressing scissors with an emphasis on precision cutting and precision trimming.
Product Range
Nikko offers cutting scissors and left handed scissors. Their specialties center on precision cutting and precision trimming, which suggests a lineup built for detail work rather than heavy bulk removal. The brand sits in a mid range price tier (price range 3).
According to the brand, Nikko scissors are designed with ergonomic handles meant to reduce hand fatigue during long cutting sessions. The parent company Scissors Craft also operates its own retail site where Nikko products are sold alongside other brands.
Distribution
Nikko scissors are available through the Scissors Craft online store at scissorscraft.co.uk. The brand does not appear to have a standalone website separate from its parent retailer. For American stylists, this means ordering from a UK based shop, which may involve international shipping considerations.
What to Know
Nikko is a smaller brand within the Scissors Craft portfolio. The product line is relatively focused compared to brands that offer thinning shears, razors, and full accessory ranges. Stylists looking for a dedicated cutting scissor from a UK manufacturer may want to explore what Nikko offers, but should factor in the limited specialty range when comparing against brands with broader catalogs.
