Company Background
Ninja Scissors has been designing and producing hairdressing scissors since 1999. The brand is based in Birmingham, United Kingdom, and focuses on combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques. According to the company, each pair of Ninja scissors goes through over 95 production steps and quality checks.
Product Range
Ninja’s catalog includes cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. The specialty list is one of the broadest we have seen: blunt cutting, slide cutting, point cutting, deep point cutting, wet cutting, dry cutting, scissor over comb, texturing, slicing, thinning, volume control, and barbering techniques. The thinning and texturing shears cover cut ratios in the 20 to 40 percent range.
That level of technique coverage suggests a product line designed to serve both hairdressers and barbers across a wide range of skill levels, from basic cutting through high level detail work.
Manufacturing
According to Ninja, their scissors are made using the highest grades of Japanese steels and cobalt alloys. The company states that their craftsmen have been making hairstyling scissors for generations, with techniques passed down from one generation to the next. Each pair is described as being designed with working stylists in mind.
Distribution
Ninja shears are sold through the brand’s official website at ninjascissors.com. The brand’s UK headquarters and direct to consumer sales model means American stylists may need to purchase internationally, though availability details for the US market are not well documented in current materials.
What We Know So Far
Ninja has been in operation since 1999, giving the brand over two decades of history.
