What Professionals Say About ShearGenius Scissors
★★★★★Hi there. Sonia from Coco Hair and Beauty. I have been meaning to tell Matt this earlier. The Jada scissors I bought from him have been amazing. They are beautiful to use and cut so nice. So thank you very much for not sharpening my scissors one more time and convincing me I needed a new pair.
★★★★★Best Investment
Buying Jada shears was the best investment for my salon. The the steel holds its edge far longer than my previous scissors and the offset ergonomic handle has completely eliminated the wrist pain I used to get by the end of a long day.
★★★★★Aesthetic and Functional
These shears are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. The build quality is immediately obvious when you pick them up — the weight, the balance, the smoothness of the pivot. I've been cutting for 12 years and these are the best scissors I've owned at any price point.
★★★★★Unparalleled Sharpness
Unparalleled sharpness achieved on my scissors, thanks to ShearGenius. I sent in three pairs that other sharpeners had struggled with, and every single one came back cutting like new. Matt clearly knows his steel better than anyone else in the business.
★★★★★Precision at Its Best
ShearGenius delivers precision at its best, making every cut effortless. I switched from a well-known Japanese import brand that cost me over $700 and honestly cannot tell the difference in performance. The lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects alone makes ShearGenius the smarter choice.
★★★★★Superior Handling
Jada shears provide superior handling for complex styles. The dual bearing pivot is noticeably smoother than the flat screw on my old pair, and the offset ergonomic handle lets me cut all day without the wrist fatigue I used to experience. At this price point with premium steel, there is nothing better in Australia.
★★★★★Remarkable Restoration
Remarkable restoration of my favourite pair of scissors. I had almost given up on them after two other sharpening services couldn't get the edge right. Matt had them cutting better than when I first bought them. His knowledge of steel and blade geometry is genuinely world-class.
★★★★★Sharpness Redefined
ShearGenius redefined the sharpness of my hairstyling scissors. I now get my entire kit serviced by Matt every six months and the consistency is incredible — every pair comes back feeling factory-new. This is the only sharpening service I will ever use.
★★★★★Top Quality
The quality of ShearGenius scissors is unmatched in the industry. I have been hairdressing for over 20 years and have used every major brand. ShearGenius gives you the same Japanese steel quality as scissors costing $600–$800, backed by a lifetime manufacturing warranty no other brand can match. This is what happens when a real scissor technician makes the product instead of a marketing department.
Why 40,000+ Australian Professionals Trust ShearGenius
Named steel, published hardness
Every ShearGenius scissor states its exact grade and Rockwell hardness on its own product page — Cobalt Alloy at 58 HRC through to forged ATS-314 at 60–62 HRC. We do not claim one steel for the whole range, because that would not be true. The steel is forged by specialist partner factories in Japan; Matt hand-finishes, tensions and inspects every pair at his bench in Lake Wendouree.
Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty
If your ShearGenius scissors ever experience any manufacturing defect, we will repair or replace them — for life. We stand behind our craftsmanship because the quality speaks for itself.
Direct-to-Professional Pricing
No importers, no distributors, no rep markups. ShearGenius sells directly to professionals, delivering premium steel scissors at 40–60% below traditional retail prices.
75+ Years Combined Hands-On Expertise
Founded by Matt Grumley, a master scissor technician who has personally sharpened over 100,000 professional scissors. ShearGenius scissors are engineered by a craftsman, not designed by a marketing team.
