Overview
PHX-Japan is a Japanese scissors brand operated by PHX-HASAMI Phoenix Co., Ltd., headquartered in Asakusabashi, Taito-ku, Tokyo. The brand produces professional hair scissors and markets its PHX series to stylists in both domestic and international markets.
Product Range
PHX-Japan’s catalog includes cutting scissors and thinning scissors. The specialty list is extensive: slide cutting, chop cutting, fine cutting, vertical cutting, straight cutting, volume control, and texture control at multiple removal levels (20 to 30%, 30 to 40%, and 40 to 50%). That range of texture control percentages indicates PHX-Japan offers several thinning models calibrated for different stages of the cutting process.
The wide spread of texture removal rates is a characteristic feature of Japanese scissors brands that design individual models for specific amounts of hair removal rather than offering a single all purpose thinner.
Availability
PHX-Japan scissors are available through third party retailers including Shear World and Tricut. The brand’s own website is phx-hasami.com, which includes English language pages. That international web presence, combined with the third party retail partnerships, gives American stylists multiple options for purchasing PHX-Japan shears.
