The right scissors don’t just make cutting easier—they make your work cleaner, faster, and more consistent. Every stylist has a unique rhythm, preferred techniques, and signature style. Your tools should match that.
Below is a clear, simple guide to help you choose scissors that enhance the way you cut.
1. If You Focus on Precision Cuts
Think bobs, fringes, face-framing, and clean lines.
What You Need
Scissors with ultra-fine tips and responsive control.
Why
Precision work demands clean entry points, micro-detailing, and zero drag.
Best Choice
Shogun Precision Shears — built for accuracy and smooth, exact movement.
2. If You Do Mostly All-Round Cutting
Classic salon work: layers, trims, blunt cuts, dry + wet cutting.
What You Need
A versatile, perfectly balanced shear that feels natural in every situation.
Why
You want a pair that glides effortlessly and adapts to whatever the client requests.
Best Choice
Shogun Master Series — the ultimate everyday professional tool with long-lasting sharpness.
3. If You Cut Hair All Day & Need Comfort
Stylists with long shifts, high client volume, or hand fatigue.
What You Need
Lightweight scissors with ergonomic handles.
Why
Less strain = better speed, better consistency, and fewer long-term wrist issues.
Best Choice
Shogun Lightweight Series — designed for endurance and comfort.
4. If You Specialise in Modern, Textured Styles
Shags, wolves, soft layers, volume removal, and seamless blending.
What You Need
Texturising or thinning shears that remove weight without creating steps.
Why
Smooth blending is essential for today’s trending styles.
Best Choice
Shogun Texturising Shears — predictable, soft, and perfect for airy movement.
5. If You’re a Barber Working on Strong, Clean Lines
Fades, tapers, scissor-over-comb, and tight precision shapes.
What You Need
Longer blades with power and confidence behind each cut.
Why
Extra length gives you reach, speed, and authority over thicker hair.
Best Choice
7.0”+ Shogun Barber Shears — ideal for fast, powerful cutting.
Quick Size Guide
Choosing the right size makes an instant difference.
-
5.5”–6.0” → Precision & detail
-
6.0”–6.5” → Everyday all-round cutting
-
7.0”+ → Barbers & blunt line specialists
If you’re unsure, go with 6.0” — it’s the most universal and comfortable size for most stylists.
