The full brief

You know the tell of a rushed blend — those little steps in the finish that show up the moment the hair moves. The Apex Texturiser is for stylists who want that gone. It's the matched thinner to the Apex, built to take weight out and soften lines with total control, so the work looks like it was never thinned — soft, seamless, exactly as much off as you asked for and not a hair more.

It blends so cleanly the work looks like it was never thinned — soft, seamless, exactly as much as you asked for and not a hair more. The kind of finish that looks expensive.

From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Apex Texturiser is precision blending. I finish it to remove gently and leave movement, never chunks.”

Japanese ATS-314 · screw colours Black, Blue, Indigo, Pink, Pearl, Magenta, Silver, Black Diamante, Blue Diamante, Pink Diamante, Red Diamante · forged in Japan, hand-finished in Lake Wendouree, VIC.

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

What that means at the chair

  • ATS-314 steel at 58-60 HRC — the edge holds its bite between services, so your last blend of the week feels like the first
  • Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work on long days behind the chair
  • Single bearing flat pivot — a smooth, consistent close every stroke, so the amount you remove stays predictable
  • Hand-finished at Matt's Lake Wendouree bench to remove gently and leave movement — never chunks

Who it’s not for: This is a blending and texturising tool, not a cutter — if you're after the scissor that does the cutting, that's the Apex itself, which this thinner is made to partner.

Steel, edge life and serviceability

This texturiser carries the same Japanese ATS-314 (58–60 HRC) as the Apex cutting scissor, so both blades in your kit are the same steel at the same hardness and can be serviced together. It’s a resharpenable convex edge backed for life against manufacturing defects by the ShearGenius Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty. Steel homework first? Cobalt vs VG10 vs ATS-314 — the steel comparison.

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.

This is general information only and doesn’t consider your circumstances. Speak to your accountant or registered tax adviser about your eligibility.

Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser — common questions

What steel is the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser made from?

The Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser is made from ATS-314. The steel is forged by our specialist partner factories in Japan, and Matt Grumley hand-finishes, tensions and inspects every pair at his bench in Lake Wendouree, Victoria before it ships.

Who is the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser for?

Ideal for stylists who want to remove weight and blend lines with total control, so the finish flows instead of steps and never leaves chunks. Pairs with the Apex cutting scissor as a matched cutting-and-texturising set.

Where should I buy the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser in Australia?

Buy the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser directly from ShearGenius at sheargenius.com.au. ShearGenius is an Australian scissorsmith that sells direct at wholesale pricing with no middlemen, so you are buying from the person who hand-finishes, tensions and services the scissor rather than from a reseller. Shipping within Australia is free.

Can I talk to someone before I buy the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser?

Yes. Call ShearGenius on 0487 391 647 and Bec will pass your message straight to Matt Grumley, the scissorsmith who hand-finishes every pair. Matt calls back personally, usually the same day, and will ask how you cut before recommending anything.

Is the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser covered by a warranty?

Yes. Every ShearGenius scissor carries our Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty, which covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the scissor. It does not cover ordinary edge wear, accidental damage, misuse or neglect, and sharpening is a separate paid service.

Can I return the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser if I change my mind?

Yes. Contact us within 30 days and return the scissors unused and in their original packaging, subject to our Refund Policy. This does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Can ShearGenius sharpen the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser later?

Yes. Matt sharpens on the road as a paid service across Victoria and Tasmania, plus Mount Gambier and Millicent. Sharpening is not included with a purchase, and it is a separate service from the Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty.

Can I pay for the Apex Professional Hairdressing Texturiser in instalments?

Yes. SlicePay is our own interest-free plan: 10% today, then 20 weekly payments. Choose your size and screw colour first, then apply.

Does ShearGenius make a left-handed version?

ShearGenius builds genuinely left-handed scissors with truly reversed blades, not right-handed scissors with mirrored handles. You can see the left-handed range at sheargenius.com.au/collections/left-handed-scissors.
