Hepike 40-Tooth Thinning Scissors
by Hepike · Thinning Scissors
What it is
Hepike 40-tooth thinning scissors in Hitachi 440 steel with offset handle. Finer blending action than the 30-tooth model.
Where to buy
Direct Hairdressing Scissors lists this at £201.75 excluding VAT (£242.10 inc VAT, list £269), checked 25 September 2026. Converted at 0.79 GBP per USD.
Where this sits
In Hepike's thinning scissors lineup the Hepike 40-Tooth Thinning Scissors occupies the mid-range band.
The Hepike 40-Tooth Thinning Scissors are the 40-tooth partner to the 30-tooth model in the same range. Hepike publishes no cut rate for either, so trial both before choosing. The offset handle maintains the same ergonomic position across both thinning models.
Hitachi 440 steel at 59.5 HRC is consistent with the rest of the Hepike line. The higher tooth count does not change the steel requirements, and the blade resharpens to the same standard.
