Best Hairdressing Scissors for Salon Owners — Australia
By Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith, Lake Wendouree, VIC.
Salon owners face a different scissor decision than employed stylists. You're buying for yourself AND making purchasing decisions for staff. You care about scissor longevity (lower cost-per-cut), team consistency, and supplier relationships you can rely on.
What salon owners should look for
- Lifetime warranty included — protects the long-term scissor investment
- Australian supplier with mobile sharpening — no postage downtime affecting bookings
- SlicePay or staff finance options — let apprentices and staff buy quality scissors
- Consistent product range — train staff on one consistent range
- Real human on the phone for urgent issues
Recommended setup for a 5-stylist salon
Senior stylists / owner — The Ultimate Range
