Overview
Omega is a Japanese professional scissor brand. This profile refers specifically to the hairdressing scissor brand sold through professional beauty supply channels, distinct from other companies using the Omega name in unrelated industries.
A Scissor Mall editorial describes Omega alongside Fuji, NOVA, and Matsuzaki as an established Japanese scissor brand with “engineered very sharp bevel edges made out of fine quality Japanese steels.” This places Omega among the generation of Japanese scissor makers that helped establish the global reputation of Japanese-made professional shears.
For the most current model specifications, handle options, and availability, the authoritative source is the Omega collection on the Takano Canada storefront.
Distribution
Omega scissors are available in Canada through Takano Canada, a specialty professional beauty supply retailer.
