WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
Great Quality Scissors
We’ve taken extra measures to provide you with scissors that are built to last. We know the importance of using high quality scissors. That’s why our shears are handmade and crafted from Japanese steel.
Catering to All Hairstylists
We believe in inclusivity, so our beloved left-handed stylists will never be excluded at Leaf Scissors. We care about your needs, which is why our scissors are made by hairdressers, for hairdressers.
A More Sustainable Hair Industry
At Leaf Scissors, we are always looking for more ways to be more sustainable in the hair industry. We use 100% recyclable packaging and our collaboration with the Eden Reforestation project ensures we help the environment with every purchase. You’ll find us discussing sustainability and much more on our YouTube channel.
Holistic Education
At Leaf Scissors, we believe that there should be a holistic approach to hairdressing education. We want to create a space where a hairdresser can learn something every time, no matter the current experience. From hairdressing techniques to business advice, we believe that hairdressers should be exposed to everything in the industry.
Innovative Payment Methods That Work For Everyone
We understand that a one-off payment may not be ideal for you. That’s why we offer a variety of payment methods and subscriptions to support you.
MEET OUR FOUNDER, STEVE
Steve is the founder and the heart of Leaf Scissors. It’s impossible to have a meeting with him without having a laugh. This is how he built Leaf Scissors:
“I have been a hairdresser now for 20 years. Starting off as an apprentice, I worked my way up to Art Director at Toni and Guy. After moving on to Headmasters UK, I became Head of Education and Talent Development, which sparked my passion for helping others flourish in the hair industry. I then decided to set up a consultancy, designed to help salon owners achieve their business ambitions.
I have always been driven towards making a positive impact on the planet and those around me. Accordingly, Leaf Scissors was born.
Having noticed that there were no scissor brands that actively made sustainability a core aspect of their business, I saw an opportunity to make a positive environmental impact on the hair industry. Alongside making a difference, I was also inspired by the businesses I worked with, and craved the challenge of starting my own brand.
Another goal for Leaf was to cater to all hairdressers; being left-handed myself, it took a long time to find the right pair of scissors. It is vital to use a tool which is designed to work best for you, especially to avoid inaccuracy and damage to the scissors.
More personally to me, Leaf Scissors allows me to be the best possible Dad to my 3 children, one of which has ASD, and a husband to my amazing wife, Jane, who supports me greatly. This was a driving factor for me to create a brand which not only positively impacts the planet, hairdressers and my team, but also my family. “

SUSTAINABILITY At Leaf Scissors, we believe that there is room in the hair industry to be more environmentally conscious. Change is possible if each hairdresser individually, and hair salons collectively make more sustainable choices. Hair salon sustainability is a crucial step for the hair industry. Let’s all do our part.
For each pair of scissors we sell, we plant at least 10 trees. Our mission is to have planted 1 Million trees by 2025. We have worked closely with our sharpening supplier, who is also now planting a tree for every scissor sharpened! Additionally, our scissors are delivered to you in 100% recyclable packaging.
OUR PROFESSIONAL HAIRDRESSING SCISSORS We pride ourselves on supplying high quality scissors to you. As a hairdresser, it is vital that you use high quality tools to complete your work to your highest standard. We have worked very hard to produce scissors that are designed to suit all hairdressers, with an ergonomic design to ensure ultimate comfort. Our Japanese steel hairdressing scissors are handmade, with longevity in mind.

Leaf Scissors: A Stylist's Perspective
Leaf Scissors is a UK-based brand founded by Steve, a hairdresser with 20 years of experience who previously worked as an Art Director at Toni and Guy and as Head of Education at Headmasters UK. The company focuses on producing high-quality hairdressing tools while making the industry more sustainable. Based in London (Wimbledon Village), they've built their reputation on combining Japanese craftsmanship with environmental responsibility.
Key Features & Offerings:
- Handcrafted scissors made from premium Japanese steel
- Ergonomic designs suitable for both right and left-handed stylists
- Lifetime warranty on parts (excluding normal wear and tear)
- Flexible payment options including subscriptions
- In-person consultations available in London and Southeast UK
- Professional sharpenning services with environmental benefits
What Makes Them Special:
- Plant 10+ trees for every pair of scissors sold (125K+ trees planted so far)
- 100% recyclable packaging for all products
- Founded by hairdressers specifically for hairdressers
- Educational content (3700+ minutes of video)
- Strong focus on inclusivity - especially for left-handed stylists
- Goal to plant 1 million trees by 2025
Personal observation: I've been cutting with various Japanese shears for over a decade now, and what strikes me about Leaf is how they've managed to combine that precision with genuine eco-consciousness. Most brands talk sustainability as an afterthought, but these folks built thier entire business model around it. The left-handed options are a godsend for many of my collegues who've struggled to find quality tools that don't cause wrist pain. After testing their scissors at a recent trade show, I noticed the tension system is particularly well-engineered - maintaining that perfect glide that prevents the dreaded hair-folding we all hate when doing precision cuts.
