Where this sits
In Yoi's cutting scissors lineup the Yoi Twister occupies the entry-level tier, priced between the Yoi Black Gloss Offset and the Yoi Chopper.
The Yoi Twister is a swivel-handle cutting scissor from Yoi, priced at £99 (ex-VAT). A swivel thumb ring allows the thumb to follow a natural arc through the cutting motion rather than twisting at a fixed angle, which reduces the cumulative wrist strain during long salon shifts. The swivel mechanism applies to the thumb ring only; the finger ring is fixed.
The Twister is Yoi’s entry into the swivel handle category, sitting at the same price point as the Dragon and Red Diamond within the Yoi range.

Professional Opinion
Your thumb follows its natural arc instead of twisting at a fixed angle, which takes pressure off the wrist across a long shift. Worth a look if repetitive strain is a concern in your daily cutting.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each use
- Oil the swivel mechanism and pivot point
