SCISSORS HQ
US authorized dealer for Saki and SHIHAN — a deliberately two-brand catalogue giving American stylists direct access to authentic Japanese metallurgy.
About SCISSORS HQ
SCISSORS HQ operates out of the United States as an authorized dealer for exactly two professional brands — Saki and SHIHAN — and the focused catalogue is a deliberate choice. A stylist shopping for their first Japanese convex shear benefits from a trusted source that confirms authenticity, warranty chain, and US shipping for a pair of tools in the $300–$700 range. The trade-off of the focused approach is that buyers looking for German-origin shears, swivel-thumb ergonomics, or crane-handled barbering lines will want to complement a SCISSORS HQ purchase with a specialist from another retailer — which is a fair trade for the confidence of a tight authorised channel.
One quick note on naming: there is a separate Australian retailer, iCandy Scissors HQ in Surfers Paradise, Queensland (founded 2012), which sells its own-branded VG-10 shears including the ATHENA 7.0-inch barber model. That business is an entirely different operation serving the Australian market. SCISSORS HQ covered here operates via scissorshq.com for North American customers and focuses on authorised imports from its two Japanese partner brands. Confirm current model availability via the warranty page or reach the team through the contact form before ordering.
