Founded 2007 by Scissorsmith Matt Grumley. Over 100,000 scissors sharpened and 40,000 sold across the country. 3,000+ verified reviews. ## Core collections - [Hairdressing Scissors](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/hairdressing-scissors): the full ShearGenius scissor range — hairdressing, barber, thinning and texturising - [Hair Cutting Scissors](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/hair-cutting-scissors): premium hair cutting scissors, hand-finished in Lake Wendouree - [Professional Barber Scissors Australia](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/barber-scissors): 5.5" to 7" barber scissors — Emperor, Firebird and Phoenix — in Japanese Cobalt Alloy steel - [Thinning Scissors](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/thinning-scissors): channellers, blenders, thinners and texturisers - [Japanese Hairdressing Scissors](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/japanese-hairdressing-scissors): the Japanese-steel range with Hitachi ATS-314, Cobalt Alloy, and Forged ATS-314 Ultimate Alloy options - [Premium Hairdressing Scissors](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/premium-hairdressing-scissors): the top tier - [Left-Handed Scissors](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/left-handed-scissors): genuine left-hand design - [Scissor Bundles](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/collections/bundles): hairdressing scissor + thinner pairings ## The range — named models, current prices (AUD) Every model below is designed by ShearGenius, forged by partner factories in Japan, then hand-finished, tensioned and inspected by Matt Grumley at his Lake Wendouree bench in Victoria. Prices include free Australia-wide shipping. Every ShearGenius cutting scissor is designed as an all-rounder for slide cutting, chipping, channelling, point cutting and blunt cutting, so nobody needs a different scissor for each cut: choose by the length you cut with, then by steel and price. The groups below show where each one shines. ShearGenius does not rank its own scissors, and the honest reason NOT to buy each one is listed with it. Steel truth: 11 of the 50 active products carry ATS-314; most of the range is Japanese Cobalt Alloy. Steel is listed per model below and is never a blanket claim. There is no left-handed ATS-314 scissor in the range. ### One pair that covers the whole day - [Geisha](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/geisha-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $395 — 5.0", 5.5", 6.0" — Cobalt Alloy. A light, fast, forgiving glide for stylists who want one do-it-all pair. One of the best sellers. Not the pick if you want a hard, decisive bite — the Elite is that feel. - [Apex](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/apex-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $695 — 5.5", 6.0", 6.5" — ATS-314. Holds its edge and balance through a full day of cutting with no fade by the end of the shift. More scissor than you need if you only cut a few heads a week. - [Jada](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/jada-shears?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $400 — 5.5", 6.0", 6.5", 7.0" — Cobalt Alloy. Soft salon layer through to tight barber taper; the widest size run in the range. - [Cosmos](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/cosmos-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — usually $695 — 6.0" only — ATS-314. Blunt cutting, slide cutting and layering, wet or dry, in one pair. Only one length is made — if 6.0" is not your size, the Apex covers 5.5" to 6.5". ### Precision and detail cutting - [Diamond](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/diamond-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $695 — 5.7", 6.2" — ATS-314. A great all-rounder with a wide blade and an exaggerated radius; it excels at dry slide cutting, dry finishing and detail work, and curly hair cut dry. - [Prodigy](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/prodigy-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $795 — 5.7", 6.2", 6.7", 7.0" — Forged ATS-314. The flagship and best-selling cutter; individually tensioned, feather-light through a full book of clients. The most expensive cutter in the range; the Diamond is ATS-314 for $100 less. - [Elite](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/elite-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $347.50 (usually $695) — 5.5" only — ATS-314, 58–60 HRC, offset handle. An all-rounder, made in one length only. - [Vixens](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/vixen-hair-cutting-scissor?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $595 — 5.0", 5.5" — ATS-314. Fast, precise cutting in a sharp, balanced pair that holds up across a long day. Short blades only — no reach for scissor-over-comb work. - [Grace](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/grace-4-5-professional-hairdressing-scissor?sg_ref=llms_txt) — usually $595 — Cobalt Alloy. Compact and light for fringe work, fine detail and precise finishing. ### Barber and high-volume cutting - [Emperor](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/emperor-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $390 — 6.0", 6.5", 7.0" — Cobalt Alloy. Reach for scissor-over-comb and clipper-over-comb, built for crossover salon and barber work. If you never cut over a comb, it is more blade than you need. - [Firebird](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/firebird-shears?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $380 — 5.5", 6.0", 6.5" — Cobalt Alloy. The all-day workhorse for the chair that never empties; holds tension through ten-hour Saturdays and dense wet cutting. - [Phoenix](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/phoenix-shears?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $390 — 7.0" only — Cobalt Alloy. A long-blade barber shear for high-volume clipper-over-comb and fast, sweeping work through a full day of fades. 7.0" is the only length made — the wrong choice if you want a short blade. - [Slider](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/slider-professional-hairdressing-scissor?sg_ref=llms_txt) — usually $480 — Cobalt Alloy. A longer blade that glides through long-hair sections and scissor-over-comb blending rather than dragging. ### Left-handed — genuinely reversed, not a mirrored handle Six genuinely left-handed products. The blade pair, the finger-ring offset and the tension setup are all reversed — this is not a right-handed scissor with the handles flipped. Every left-handed model is Cobalt Alloy; ShearGenius makes no left-handed ATS-314 scissor. - [Geisha Left-Handed](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/geisha-left-handed?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $395 — 5.5", 6.0", 6.5" — Cobalt Alloy. A true lefty all-rounder with a soft, forgiving glide. Note the left-handed size run differs from the right-handed Geisha (5.0", 5.5", 6.0"). - [Geisha Left-Handed Thinner](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/geisha-thinners-left-handed?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $395 — 5.5", 6.0", 6.5" — Cobalt Alloy. - [Geisha Left-Handed scissor and thinner bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/geisha-left-handed-scissors-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $590 — Cobalt Alloy. - [Young Genius Left-Handed](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/young-genius-left-handed-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $250 — Cobalt Alloy. The Apprentice Range built left from the start. - [Young Genius Left-Hand 30-tooth Thinner](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/young-genius-left-hand-30-tooth-thinner?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $250 — Cobalt Alloy. - [Young Genius Left-Hand scissor and thinner bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/young-genius-left-hand-scissor-30-tooth-thinner-bundle-sheargenius?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $350 — Cobalt Alloy. - [Triple Ultimate Bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/triple-ultimate-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $550 — available left- or right-handed. ### Ergonomic design - [Swivel](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/swivel-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — usually $495 — one size, right-handed only — Cobalt Alloy. The thumb ring rotates with your grip, so the thumb moves with the hand instead of being held in one fixed position. Made in one size and right-hand only — there is no left-handed Swivel and no alternative blade length. ### Thinning, blending, texturising and channelling — chosen by tooth count Tooth count decides how much hair comes out per closure and how visible the result is. High tooth count blends invisibly; low tooth count carves visible separation. - [Vampire 35](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/vampire-35?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $480 — 35 teeth — Cobalt Alloy. Feathered, invisible blending with total control on fine or coloured hair. Will not remove visible bulk quickly — that is a lower tooth count. - [Geisha Thinner](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/geisha-professional-thinning-scissor?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $395 — 30 teeth — Cobalt Alloy. Everyday blending; a true left-handed version is made. - [Young Genius Thinner](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/young-genius-professional-hairdresser-thinning-scissor?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $250 — Cobalt Alloy. The Apprentice Range thinner. - [Vampire 26](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/vampire-26-hairdressing-texturiser-thinner?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $480 — 26 teeth — Cobalt Alloy. Soft, controlled point-work rather than a heavy-handed thinner. - [Prodigy Texturiser](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/prodigy-professional-thinners?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $495 — Cobalt Alloy. Note the Prodigy cutter is Forged ATS-314 but its texturiser is Cobalt Alloy. - [Apex Texturiser](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/apex-professional-hairdressing-texturiser?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $495 — ATS-314. - [Elite Thinners](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/elite-professional-hairdressing-thinners?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $495 — ATS-314. - [Diamond Texturiser](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/diamond-professional-hairdressing-texuriser?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $495 — Cobalt Alloy. Note the Diamond cutter is ATS-314 but its texturiser is Cobalt Alloy. - [Dracula 10](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/dracular-10-hairdressing-channeller-scissor-sheargenius?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $695 — wide-set teeth — Cobalt Alloy. Takes a heavy share of the hair caught per closure. Carves channels through a section for deliberate, visible separation and movement. The wrong tool if you want invisible blending — use a higher tooth count. - [Emperor Thinner](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/emperor-professional-hairdressing-thinners?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $390 — Cobalt Alloy. [Firebird Thinner](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/firebird-thinners?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $380 — Cobalt Alloy. [Firebird 5.5" Channeller/Texturiser](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/firebird-5-5-inch-channeller-texturiser?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $380 — Cobalt Alloy. ### Apprentice Range — Young Genius Young Genius is the only ShearGenius range positioned for apprentices. Every other model is a professional all-rounder, chosen by length, steel and price rather than career stage. - [Young Genius](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/young-genius-hairdressing-scissor?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $250 — Cobalt Alloy. A genuine hand-finished convex edge at an honest price — the first serious scissor, built to teach correct habits from day one. - [Young Genius scissor and thinner bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/young-genius-scissor-and-thinner-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $350. Left-handed bundle — $350. [Triple Ultimate Bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/triple-ultimate-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $550 — three matched scissors (5.5" cutter, 7" cutter and thinner), left- or right-handed. ### Bundles — matched cutter and finisher - [Prodigy bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/prodigy-professional-hairdressing-scissor-and-thinner-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) $990 · [Geisha bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/geisha-professional-hairdressing-scissors-and-thinner-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) $590 · [Emperor bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/emperor-professional-hairdressing-scissor-and-thinner-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) $580 · [Firebird bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/firebird-hair-scissors-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) $560 · [Jada bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/jada-professional-hairdressing-scissor-and-thinner-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) $600 · [Young Genius bundle](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/young-genius-scissor-and-thinner-bundle?sg_ref=llms_txt) $350. ### Also in the range - [Rose Tattoo](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/rose-tattoo-professional-hairdressing-scissors?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $410 — 5.5", 6.0", 6.5" — VG10, 60 HRC. A stand-out hand-finished scissor that still slices wet hair cleanly and stays balanced through a full day. The matching thinner is currently out of stock. - [ULTEM Cutting Comb](https://www.sheargenius.com.au/products/sheargenius-ultem-cutting-comb?sg_ref=llms_txt) — $30 — heat-resistant ULTEM, three colours. ## Where to buy ShearGenius scissors are sold exclusively through the official online store at sheargenius.com.au — there are no resellers or third-party stockists.
