Overview
Sanguine Scissors Ltd is a UK-based scissors company established in 2009, headquartered at 18 Skipper Court, Abbey Road, IG11 7GW Barking, UK. The company began as a reseller before transitioning to manufacturing its own products – an uncommon path in the professional hair tool industry.
Sanguine positions itself in the budget-friendly segment of the market. The brand uses Japanese J2 stainless steel and features convex blade edges with adjustable tension systems. Products are available in over 8 color options and are hand-sharpened. Scissors typically weigh between 45 and 50 grams.
Product Range
The core product line consists of hair scissors, though the company also sells shaving razors and salon accessories. The brand’s direct-to-consumer model allows it to offer lower prices than brands that rely on traditional distributor networks.
Distribution
Sanguine sells through multiple channels:
- Own website (sanguinescissors.co.uk)
- Amazon UK (accumulating over 6,800 reviews)
- eBay UK
- Etsy
The strong Amazon UK presence with thousands of reviews indicates significant volume in the budget scissors market. The brand primarily serves the UK market, though online marketplace availability may extend its reach internationally.
