Mina Scissors

About Mina Scissors

Mina Scissors — operating at minascissors.com — is the official store of the Mina shear workshop in Saitama, Japan. The brand built its following on a straightforward proposition: genuine Japanese craftsmanship at a price a working stylist can justify, with every pair hand-finished and triple-inspected before it leaves the workshop. The official store ships worldwide from Japan and publishes in 14 languages, serving everyone from first-kit apprentices to salons standardising on a full Mina lineup.

What the official Mina store offers

The store carries the complete Mina range direct from the workshop:

• Umi — the brand’s most popular cutting shear, a sharp all-rounder in sizes 5.0 to 7.0 inch.
• Sakura — the signature flower-pattern ergonomic handle, in cutting and thinning versions.
• Timeless — a hand-adjustable thumbscrew model for stylists who want to fine-tune pivot tension themselves.
• Matte Black — the entry point of the range, aimed squarely at students and apprentices.
• Black Diamond — a slim build for precise, detailed work.
• Jay — a reliable everyday cutting scissor.
• Barber — specialist barber shears in black, purple, and red finishes.

Every model shares the same workshop disciplines: ergonomic handles shaped to reduce wrist fatigue across a full salon day, Japanese-style blades finished by hand, and three separate inspection stages before a pair is boxed.

Finished by hand, checked three times

Mina’s quality story is unusually concrete for its price tier. Pairs are finished by hand in Saitama by the same team that runs the brand’s sharpening service — the people who see how edges wear are the people who put them on. Each pair then passes through three distinct quality checks before dispatch. For a brand that positions itself between student-accessible and fully professional, that inspection discipline is the reason authorised distributors report near-zero return rates.

The workshop’s philosophy extends past the sale: when a pair of Mina shears comes back for sharpening, it receives the same attention it got when it was made. Lifetime sharpening at the workshop is available for every model the brand makes.

Ordering, shipping, and warranty

The official store ships worldwide from the Saitama dispatch facility via FedEx Priority or FedEx Express, typically arriving within 2–5 working days to North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Every pair carries a one-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. A sizing guide on the site helps buyers match blade length to technique before ordering, and the workshop reads every enquiry personally — pricing, availability, and distributor questions alike.

Mina also runs a wholesale and distributor programme from the same site, which is how the brand’s range reaches professional beauty supply retailers across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Asia.

Also available through authorised retailers
