Where this sits
In S.cosmo's thinning scissors lineup the S.cosmo YS Wide Specialty Thinning occupies the premium tier, priced below the S.cosmo JP01T J Premium Thinning. Manufactured in Japan.
The YS Wide is S.cosmo’s wide-tooth thinning model, sitting within the Specialty Thinning range. Like all S.cosmo thinning scissors, it is produced under a patent licence from Yamamura-MFG Co., Ltd., and manufactured in Japan.
Wide tooth spacing removes more hair per stroke than finer thinning scissors, making the YS Wide suited to bulk reduction on thick or dense hair. The offset handle keeps the wrist in a comfortable position during the repeated open-and-close motion of thinning work. Tooth count and removal rate details are available directly from the S.cosmo catalogue.

Professional Opinion
Wide tooth spacing means serious bulk removal per stroke, so this earns its place on thick, dense hair where a finer thinner would take all afternoon. Work in measured passes and it also handles blending and graduation cleanly.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
- Store in protective case
