Why Takimura? (The clear choice in 2025)
Takimura are our handcrafted scissors, lightweight, with optimized ergonomics and balance for long, precise cuts. The Ambassador edition features a convex edge (razor-sharp cut) and a stable tension system that maintains smooth gliding.
- Japanese SUS 440C steel: corrosion resistance and durability for intensive use.
- Hardness 59–61 HRC: consistent, sharp edge that lasts longer.
- Offset handle + finger rest: relaxed posture and less strain on the wrist.
- Length range: 5.5“, 6.0”, 6.5“, 7.0”, 7.5,“ and thinning 6.5” (30 teeth, 30–35% hollowed out).
With this set, it is no coincidence that many professionals consider them the best professional hairdressing scissors in terms of performance/lifespan ratio.
What criteria really matter when buying the best barber or hairdressing scissors?
Before buying the best hairdressing scissors, check these points. They will serve you well today... and a year from now.
- Blade geometry: convex (Japanese style) allows for smooth cuts, sliding, and cleaner point cutting.
- Steel and hardness: SUS 440C (59–61 HRC) balances durability and ease of resharpening.
- Ergonomics: Offset and good balance reduce fatigue during long workdays.
- Sizes: 5.5“–6.0” for precision; 6.5“–7.5” for straight lines and speed; thinning shears for texturizing.
With these criteria, you'll see why Takimura fits so well with what you're looking for.
How to choose your ideal size?
- 5.5“ – 6.0”: precision, contours, detail cuts.
- 6.5“ – 7.0”: straight cuts, mass control, quick work on large areas.
- 7.5": maximum speed on large sections and scissor-over-comb.
- Thinning 6.5" (30 teeth, 30–35%): volume control and texture without marks.
Pro tip: if you do a lot of over comb and long lines, a 7.0“ or 7.5” saves you time. For facial precision and contours, 5.5".
How to get the most out of them (and extend their useful life)
- Adjust the tension: neither loose (bites) nor tight (fatigue).
- Daily cleaning: soft cloth and a drop of oil on the pivot.
- Transport: hard case; avoid drops.
- Service: sharpen by specialists when you notice pulling.
- Technique: take advantage of the convex blade for smooth slides and parries.
