- The Texture Revolution
The Ichiro Kawa thinning scissors redefine professional texture creation with their revolutionary Z-Balance handle and lightweight design. Available in two specialised tooth configurations to match your texturising style.
Built around Ichiro's groundbreaking Z-Balance handle system, these scissors cradle your hand in the perfect ergonomic position for detailed texturising work, dramatically reducing the hand fatigue that plagues stylists during texture-heavy cuts.
The V-shaped teeth are crafted using advanced 2030s laser technology, ensuring clean cutting without pulling or creasing – just beautiful, seamless texture that blends perfectly with your cutting technique.
Significantly lighter than traditional thinning scissors without sacrificing performance, these tools let you create texture for hours without the wrist strain common with heavier designs.
- Z-Balance Comfort: Revolutionary handle design prevents wrist strain during detailed texturising
- Customisable Texture: Choose between 14-tooth (dramatic) or 30-tooth (subtle) configurations
- Clean V-Cut: Precision-milled V-shaped teeth cut hair rather than folding or crimping it
- Lightweight Design: Ultra-light construction reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions
- Premium 440C Steel: higher quality steel is lightweight and still maintains sharpness through countless cuts
- Versatile Performance: Perfect for salon stylists and barbers across all cutting techniques
- Choose Your Texture Style
14-Tooth Chunker (35-40% Removal): The bold texture specialist. These create dramatic, visible texture and remove substantial weight in a single pass. Perfect for shags, heavily layered cuts, and removing bulk from thick hair types. Creates noticeable movement and definition – ideal for modern, lived-in styles that demand visible texture.
30-Tooth Blender (20-25% Removal): The versatile all-rounder. These create subtle, natural-looking texture and seamless blending. Perfect for refining layers, softening lines, and creating invisible movement. The sweet spot for most stylists – enough texture to make a difference without removing too much weight. Ideal for everyday salon work across all hair types.
Both feature the same revolutionary Z-Balance handle and premium construction – your choice depends on the type of texturising you do most often. Many professionals keep both on hand for different style needs.
- Z-Balance Technology
The Kawa's standout feature is its innovative Z-Balance handle design. Unlike traditional offset handles, the Z-shaped ergonomics create multiple contact points that distribute pressure evenly across your hand and wrist.
This unique contour positions your thumb slightly forward and angled for optimal leverage, while the finger ring is precisely positioned to maintain control without straining your knuckles.
For texturising work, which often requires extended periods of detailed cutting, this ergonomic approach makes a dramatic difference – reducing hand fatigue and allowing for more precise, controlled texture creation.
Stylists who've struggled with wrist pain or hand fatigue find this design revolutionary, particularly during those texture-heavy styles that demand extended detailing work.
- Professional Opinion
"I've been using both Kawa thinning scissors in my Sydney salon for approximately three months now. The 14-tooth model has become my essential tool for contemporary shags and heavily textured cuts that are particularly on-trend. It removes significant weight but without that obvious, choppy appearance that lesser quality scissors often leave behind.
The 30-tooth version serves as my everyday workhorse. It creates beautifully subtle texture, blends layers seamlessly, and delivers those lived-in finishes that clients consistently request. The cutting action is impeccably clean – absolutely no snagging or pulling, even when working with curly or resistant hair types.
The Z-Balance handle design is truly remarkable. I previously experienced considerable discomfort in my thumb joint following texture-intensive appointments, but this has completely disappeared since switching to these scissors. The ergonomic positioning works perfectly with the hand's natural movement patterns.
I'm particularly impressed by how lightweight they are compared to my previous thinning scissors. This makes detail-oriented, precision work noticeably less fatiguing. Even my junior stylist commented on the difference when I had her use them during training sessions.
For stylists weighing up which tooth configuration to select – the 30-tooth version offers greater versatility for day-to-day use, but if you frequently create shags and heavily textured styles, the 14-tooth model is genuinely transformative. In all honesty, I ultimately invested in both and use them consistently throughout my working week."

Gut 🤍
After waiting for my order, I finally received my Ichiro Premium Series Tsuki Black 5.5” scissors — and I can honestly say they were worth the wait. The scissors are beautiful, lightweight, perfectly balanced, and very comfortable to work with. The cutting feels extremely smooth and precise, exactly what I was looking for as a professional hairstylist. I was also pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary Jaguar-style comb set with the package. That was a very thoughtful addition and truly appreciated. Special thanks to Sammy from customer support for helping me change my order from the Taiyo 6.0” to the Tsuki Black 5.5”. The 5.5” size turned out to be the perfect fit for me. Very happy with my purchase and excited to continue working with these scissors every day.
Ichiro Premium Series: Tsuki VG10 Black Hair Cutting Scissors
I got these to trim my partner’s hair like it’s 2020. Way better than the kitchen scissors
I purchased a haircutting scissor from Japanese Scissors and I was really impressed with its appearance. The scissor is extremely beautiful, very well-made, and feels incredibly light in the hand. However, for my personal preference, it was a bit too sharp to work with comfortably. Overall, it’s a high-quality product, just not the right sharpness level for me.😁

Hard to unbox with one hand but Japanese really know how to present their products ! Happy with this. My second pair
Very fast delivery, and high quality shears. The blade is very sharp and cuts through hair seamlessly. Also came with lots of extra bits like combs and feather razors. Very happy with my purchase.
I love products and service. Highly recommend to purchase here. I got unexpected gift as well. Thank you so much

Guten Tag, habe am 30.4.2024 die Scheren zurückgesendet. Da sie nicht geschnitten haben. Nun seither warte ich auf das zurücksenden des Betrages. Wäre froh wenn ich die Zahlung bekomme. Danke für ihre rasche Rückmeldung! Sarah Imhof sarahimhof@bluewin.ch
Le ciseau et défectueux les dents du ciseaux butent sur la lames principale . J’ai contacter par e-mail le site à mainte reprise qui ne m’a jamais répondu ( commande qui date de début avril ) . Ciseau inutilisable 200 euros jeter à la poubelle je ne vous le conseille pas .
Ichiro sissors are very nice, they have a good feel in the hands, are a good weight and the quality is great. Shipping was very fast, only took a couple of days.
