About us
Pro shears, made simple.
Hair Scissors USA helps cosmetology students, new licensees and booth renters buy a professional shear that fits. We carry 125 shears and sets from 3 makers, and we explain each one in plain words.
Why we exist
Buying your first pro shear is stressful. It's real money, often while you're still in school, and most product pages assume you already know what "offset", "convex" and "HRC" mean. We don't assume that. We explain each term in one line, show you which choices matter most, and help you skip the ones that don't matter yet.
What we'll never do
- Push you toward the most expensive shear. The right first shear is the one that fits your hand and your budget.
- Rush you with countdown timers or "only 2 left" banners.
- Show star ratings or made-up reviews.
- Guess at a spec. If a maker doesn't state something, we say so.
What a good first shear feels like
A good first shear doesn't need to be fancy. When you hold it, your thumb and ring finger sit comfortably in the rings without squeezing. When you close it slowly, the blades meet evenly from the pivot to the tip. When you cut, the hair is cut cleanly instead of folding or sliding along the blade. And at the end of a long day in class or on the floor, your wrist and shoulder still feel fine. That's what we help you find.
How to use this site
Start with our first pro shear guide. It takes you through budget, hand, length and handle, in that order, then edge, steel and care. Then browse the three makers and compare two or three shears in your budget. Every product page lists the hand, the lengths, the handle, the edge and what comes in the box.
Ordering in the US
Prices are in US dollars. We ship to the 50 states and the District of Columbia by FedEx, but not to US territories, APO/FPO addresses or PO boxes. Orders are packed in one to two business days and ship from Japan, and checkout shows the delivery charge before you pay. No sales tax is added at checkout. Duties and import charges, if any, are paid by the buyer. Change-of-mind returns are available within 30 days of delivery. The shipping, returns and Terms of Sale pages have the details.
Ask us anything
Tell us the shear you're looking at, the hand you cut with and what you can spend, and we'll give you a plain answer. Include your order number if you've already ordered. The address is on the contact page.
