Kyoto Hairdressing Scissors

Kyoto are one of those brands that stylists tend to recommend to each other rather than spend on flashy marketing, and that's the best kind of endorsement you can get. Forged in Japan from high quality carbon and stainless steels, Kyoto scissors have built a loyal following in UK salons for a simple reason. They cut beautifully and they don't cost the earth.

The range covers straight cutting scissors, thinning and texturising shears, and offset handle designs that sit more comfortably in the hand during long cutting days. Left-handed and right-handed versions are available throughout, so left-handed stylists aren't stuck with whatever scraps are left over.

The Kyoto Sprint and why everyone talks about it

The Sprint is the scissor that put Kyoto on the map for a lot of UK stylists. Forged from high carbon steel with a hollow ground blade, finished to a genuinely high standard, and sitting well under £100, it's become something of a go-to recommendation for apprentices, kit upgrades, and second pairs alike. The extra wide tail gives proper support and the ergonomic shanks do most of the gripping work, so your thumb isn't doing overtime on every cut. The Sprint Thinner, with its 40 teeth removing around 15% of the hair per pass, has earned a similar reputation in the blending world.

More than just the Sprint

The Phoenix is worth a look if you're after something lighter and more precise for detail work. Hand made from forged 440C stainless steel with superfine blades, a light body, and short offset handles, it's built for stylists who want a scissor that feels fast in the hand for graphic lines and close technical cutting. Across the rest of the range you'll find options for slicing, scissor-over-comb, and classic club cutting, all finished to the same standard.

Who Kyoto suits

If you're coming off college kit and want your first proper pair of professional scissors, Kyoto is genuinely one of the easiest brands to start with. If you're an experienced stylist after a reliable everyday workhorse that won't make you wince when you check the price tag, same answer. You're getting Japanese steel, proper forging, and a scissor that will hold its edge through a busy column.
