The full brief

The Apex is the scissor you stop thinking about — because it just works, all day, every day. A Japanese ATS-314 convex edge set for effortless glide, so the first cut of the morning and the last before close feel identical. No fade, no fight.

Pick it up and the balance sits back into your palm — less wrist by five o’clock, more clean cuts before fatigue ever creeps in. The everyday scissor that earns its place in your hand.

From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Apex is the one I reach for when I just want to cut. Reliable, balanced, sharp — the everyday weapon.”

ShearGenius — Australia’s most trusted scissorsmith since 2007. The scissors stylists actually recommend.

What that means at the chair

  • ATS-314 convex edge, 58-60 HRC — the first cut of the morning and the last before close feel the same. No fade, no fight
  • Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb and wrist stop doing all the work on back-to-back days
  • Single bearing flat pivot — smooth, consistent tension you set once and forget about
  • Three lengths (5.5″, 6.0″, 6.5″) — pick the one that matches your hand and how you section, not a one-size compromise

Who it’s not for: If you're mostly after a dedicated texturising or thinning tool rather than an all-day cutting all-rounder, the Apex isn't the pair for that job.

Why a real scissorsmith finishes every pair

Matt Grumley has cut hair since 1990. Aaron since 1987. Seventy-five-plus years combined in the industry — and over one hundred thousand scissors across Matt’s bench tells you exactly what a working edge needs. Every ShearGenius scissor is forged in Japan from premium Japanese steel, then hand-finished at Matt’s bench in Lake Wendouree, Victoria: the Wendouree Finish — thirty checks before any scissor ships. No batch passes.

That’s why we can guarantee it for life.

Your tools could be tax-deductible

Professional scissors are tools of trade. If you run your own business with an ABN, eligible businesses may be able to deduct the purchase under the ATO’s instant asset write-off rules. Employed hairdressers can generally claim tools of trade too. Keep your receipt.
