Beyond cutting and thinning scissors, the STR catalogue takes in hair dryers, combs, and balayage tools, sold through UK retailers including Alan Howard and Adel Direct.

Overview

STR is Rand Rocket Ltd’s own-brand range of professional hairdressing scissors, established in 1973 and aimed at the budget-to-mid segment of the UK market.

Product Range

STR’s catalog extends beyond scissors to include hair dryers, combs, and balayage tools. The scissor range includes both cutting and thinning models:

• C Series: priced around GBP 20.99
• F Series: priced between GBP 26 and GBP 29

These price points place STR firmly in the budget/entry-level category, making the brand accessible to students and stylists seeking affordable everyday tools.

Product range

Five STR models are catalogued across cutting and thinning. The H Series Thinning Shears ($25) and F Series Professional Cutting Scissors ($55) are the entry and mid-entry builds. The Pro Classic Professional Cutting Scissors ($45) sits between them on price. The Pro Black Offset Cutting Scissors ($79) and Pro Black Thinning Scissors ($79) represent the top tier of the STR range, with a matched offset cutting and thinning pair at the same price point.

The $25–$79 range makes STR one of the lower-priced professional scissor brands in the UK market, with five models that cover both cutting and thinning functions across a practical price ladder.
