Thinning scissors, also known as texturising scissors or blending shears, are an essential tool in any professional hairdresser's kit. Unlike standard cutting scissors which cut every strand they contact, thinning scissors have one serrated blade that removes a percentage of the hair with each cut, leaving the rest untouched. This makes them brilliant for removing bulk from thick hair, softening the ends of a cut, blending between different lengths and creating texture and movement without reducing the overall length. We stock 34 professional thinning scissors here at Revive Hair Artists in Codsall from brands including Kasho, Jaguar, Glamtech, Dark Stag, Haito, Kyoto, Leaf and Matakki.

Kasho thinning scissors

The Kasho Design Master Series thinning scissors are among the best texturising scissors we stock. Available in 30 teeth and 38 teeth configurations, the Kasho texturisers give brilliant control over how much hair is removed with each cut. The 30-tooth version removes more hair per cut and is better suited to heavy thinning and bulk removal on thick hair. The 38-tooth version removes less hair and is better suited to fine blending and gentle texturising where a more subtle effect is needed.

Glamtech thinning scissors

The Glamtech One Thinner is a brilliant everyday professional thinning scissor at an excellent price point. Glamtech is a popular professional brand among UK hairdressers who want reliable, well-built tools without paying premium prices. It is a great choice for newly qualified hairdressers who need a solid thinning scissor to complete their professional kit.

Haito thinning scissors

The Haito thinning scissor range is excellent and includes a left-handed option which is genuinely rare to find in professional thinning scissors. The Haito Basix Left-Handed Thinner is a 27-tooth thinning scissor specifically designed for left-handed hairdressers, and the Haito Kuro Thinner is a brilliant everyday right-handed option from the same range.

Leaf thinning scissors

The Leaf Black Edition Texturising Scissor is a beautifully designed 30-tooth texturiser with a striking black finish. Leaf Scissors is a brand known for combining genuine professional performance with distinctive aesthetics, and the Black Edition texturiser is one of the most visually impressive thinning scissors in the collection.

How many teeth should a thinning scissor have?

The number of teeth on a thinning scissor determines how much hair is removed with each cut. As a general guide, scissors with fewer teeth (20 to 30) remove more hair per cut and are better for heavy thinning and bulk removal. Scissors with more teeth (35 to 45) remove less hair per cut and are better for fine blending, softening and gentle texturising. For everyday use across all hair types, a mid-range thinning scissor with around 28 to 35 teeth is the most versatile option.
