Where this sits
In Yoi's cutting scissors lineup the Yoi Red Diamond occupies the entry-level tier, priced between the Yoi Black Gloss Offset and the Yoi Chopper.
The Yoi Red Diamond is available in 5.5 and 6-inch lengths, made from Japanese j440 steel with a convex edge. The drop-thumb offset handle reduces wrist deviation during repeated cutting strokes, and the adjustable tension screw allows the stylist to dial in the cutting feel without tools.
The set option adds a matching 30-tooth soft-cut texturiser for £25 extra, along with a Japanese-made comb, clips, and a case. Both scissors-only and set configurations are available at the same product listing on the Yoi site.

Professional Opinion
The drop-thumb offset handle is the story here, letting the thumb sit naturally so the wrist stays straighter over a full day. Two sizes and an adjustable tension screw let you tune the feel, and the set option adds a 30-tooth texturiser for blending work.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each use
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Adjust tension screw as needed
- Store in a protective case
