Why NZ stylists choose Japan Scissors

Japan Scissors has been supplying professional hairdressers and barbers across New Zealand since 2014. Our Japanese and German scissor brands are used in salons and barbershops from Auckland to Queenstown, chosen for their edge retention, ergonomic handles, and the kind of precision that makes a difference across a full day of cutting.

We stock brands suited to every career stage: Mina for apprentices and students, Ichiro and Jaguar as all-round workhorses, and Yasaka, Joewell, Juntetsu, and Kasho for senior stylists who want Japanese premium steel.

Scissors for NZ hair professionals

New Zealand's client base is one of the most diverse in the world — fine European hair, thick Māori and Pasifika textures, and everything in between. Japanese convex-edge scissors handle this range well: the steel holds its edge longer, and the geometry produces cleaner cuts across different densities.

Salon stylists

Yasaka · Joewell · Kasho

Premium Japanese steel for senior stylists. Yasaka's semi-offset handle is the most popular choice across NZ salons.
