How the hub works

Four lanes. Pick one and go.

ScissorHub USA carries 245 professional shears and kits from 6 makers, and every one of them sits in one of four lanes: cutting, thinning, left-handed or kits. Each lane has its own color, its own guide and its own list of models. You don't have to scroll through the whole store to find a left-handed thinner. You go to the left-handed lane.

Every lane page follows the same three steps:

  1. What it's for. The job the category does in a cut, in two or three sentences.
  2. How to choose. The decisions that matter, in order: length, handle, edge, steel, teeth or kit contents.
  3. What to compare. A short list to run any two models against, so you can decide fast.

Which lane do you need?

  • Need your everyday shear? The cutting lane. Blunt lines, layers, point cutting, cutting over a comb.
  • Blending, softening or removing bulk? The thinning lane. Thinners and texturizers, sorted by what each close takes out.
  • Cut with your left hand? The left-handed lane. Everything left-handed, nothing else.
  • Setting up a chair or a whole kit? The kits lane. A matched cutter and thinner, plus extras where the kit includes them.

Six makers across the lanes

The lanes are organized by job, but you can also shop by maker. We carry Mina, Ichiro, Jaguar, Joewell, Juntetsu and Yasaka. Juntetsu shears are handmade in Japan, Yasaka shears are made in Japan, and Jaguar is a German brand. Each maker collection explains what that maker does well.

Compare fast

Once you're in a lane, pick two models and check them against the lane's quick-compare list. For a cutting shear that's length, handle, edge, steel and what's in the box. For a thinner, add the tooth count. If two models match on every point, choose the finish you like and go.

Buying for a team?

Salon managers often buy across lanes at once: a cutter for a new stylist, a thinner for a barber, a kit for an apprentice. Ask each person which hand they cut with and the length they use now, then shop each lane for them. It's quicker than browsing by brand, and nobody ends up with the wrong hand.

Ordering and delivery

Prices are in US dollars. Delivery covers the 50 states and DC by FedEx (no US territories, APO/FPO addresses or PO boxes). Every order is packed within 1 to 2 business days and sent from Japan. You see the delivery charge at checkout, before you pay, and checkout adds no sales tax. Any duties or import charges are the buyer's to pay. Change-of-mind returns are available within 30 days of delivery. The shipping and returns pages have the details.

A Backorder label means a model is out of stock today. You can still order it, and it ships when stock arrives.
