TRACKS

Overview

TRACKS is a Japanese scissor brand founded in 2016 and headquartered in the Kita-Aoyama district of Minato-ku, Tokyo. The company operates under TracksDealing and is based in the Aoyama and Omotesando area, one of Tokyo’s most prominent beauty districts. According to the brand, this location gives it direct access to demanding stylists who evaluate scissors on performance rather than brand reputation.

Each pair of TRACKS scissors takes approximately 3 months to complete from raw blade steel to finished product. The manufacturing process combines computer controlled shaping (CNC machining to 1/1000mm precision) with traditional hand finishing techniques. The blade and handle are made from different metals and welded together, a process that requires skilled technique at the thin connection points.

Product Range

TRACKS produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. The brand covers dry cut, chop cut, slide cut, stroke cut, soft blunt cut, blunt cut, wet blunt cut, volume control (18 to 25%), and texture control techniques.

The manufacturing process includes several hand finished steps. Final blade sharpening is done by craftsmen who adjust the blade angle by feel. A separate hammering process corrects subtle blade distortions using a hammer, which requires precise skill. Every completed pair undergoes a final check to verify it delivers the intended cut quality for its designated technique.

Distribution

TRACKS sells through its own website and is also available through the Refun online store. The brand positions itself in the mid to upper price range and emphasizes both quality and cost performance for working stylists.
