Where this sits
In Kennomai's thinning scissors lineup the Kennomai YSB-303 Thinning Scissors occupies the premium tier. Manufactured in Japan.
The Kennomai YSB-303 is a 30-tooth thinning scissor made in Tokyo. The “303” suffix in the model code indicates the tooth count: 30 teeth, placing it in the mid-range for blending work — enough teeth to avoid heavy chunk removal while still moving through dense hair efficiently. The YSB-303G is the same model with gold accent hardware for stylists who prefer the finish.
Both models use an offset handle. The 30-tooth configuration is practical for general blending on medium to dense hair, finishing softened perimeters, and reducing bulk without leaving visible lines. For confirmed specs and current pricing, visit Kennomai’s online store or the Kennomai brand page on ScissorPedia.

Professional Opinion
The 303 in the name is the tooth count: 30 teeth, a versatile middle ground that blends medium to dense hair without leaving visible lines. Offset handle, Tokyo manufacture, and a gold-accented YSB-303G if you prefer the finish. A sensible single thinner to build a working kit around.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
