Scissors Street learned its trade by fixing everyone else’s: the Tokyo company, founded in 2013 in Yoyogi, Shibuya, started as a scissor-sharpening and repair specialist, and the founder built its original cobalt-steel line after years working on stylists’ shears from many makers. Thinning models come in tightly stepped rates (15 to 20, 20 to 25, 25 to 30, 30, and 40 to 45 percent), and the line sells direct at scissors-street.shop.
Overview
Scissors Street is a Japanese scissor brand based in Shibuya, Tokyo. The company operates under the parent entity SCISSORS STREET from its office at 2F YS.II Building in the Yoyogi district. According to the brand, it began as a scissor repair shop before eventually developing its own original line.
Product Range
The brand offers cutting and thinning scissors for blunt cutting, slide cutting, volume control, and texture control. Its thinning models cover removal ranges of 15 to 20, 20 to 25, 25 to 30, 30, and 40 to 45 percent, letting stylists match the tool to their technique.
Background
According to Scissors Street, the founder’s path started in a hair salon before moving into scissors manufacturing. He spent several years learning blade making at an established manufacturer, then shifted to a repair workshop in Omotesando where he worked directly with stylists to fix shears from various makers. That hands on repair background informed the eventual product line. The brand was founded in 2013.
