Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors

Hand-finished & inspected at Matt Grumley’s bench, Lake Wendouree.

Built for: slide cutting and slicing — shedding weight and length in soft, seamless, blended transitions

Who it suits Ideal for precision-focused stylists doing detail, slice, point and texture work in lighter-hours sessions rather than high-volume days. Suits anyone from a first-year stylist to a thirty-year veteran who wants a diamond-ground convex edge that glides cleanly through close, exact cutting.

Think this might be more scissor than you need? Say so. A pair that fits your hand cuts better than a dearer pair that does not, and the cheapest professional cutter we make is $250. Every model side by side — steel, measured hardness and price — or ring 0487 391 647 and Matt will tell you if a cheaper one does your job.

Talk to the scissorsmith

Not sure this is the one? Call 0487 391 647 — Bec will pass your message to Matt, and he’ll call you back personally, usually the same day. A few questions about how you cut is normally all it takes to land on the right scissor.

On our sharpening runs? Cut with any scissor from the demo board at your own chair before you buy — try before you buy.

Not on one of those runs? You still get free shipping Australia-wide, a phone fitting with Matt before you commit, 30 days to send it back unused, and the lifetime manufacturing warranty. The one thing we cannot bring you is the sharpening — that is on-road only, across Victoria and Tasmania plus Mount Gambier and Millicent, with no mail-in service. Here is what to ask a local sharpener instead.

Specifications
Steel
ATS-314Holds its edge longer — fewer sharpens, more consistent cutting.
Blade length
5.7, 6.2Measured from the tip to the finger-ring screw, which is how every length on this site is measured. Makers do not all measure the same way, so compare like with like before you judge a size.
Edge
ConvexThe outer face curves gently out to the cutting edge, so the blade slices through hair instead of pushing it. That is a different thing from the hollow ground on the inner face, the shallow relief that keeps the two blades meeting cleanly rather than rubbing flat. Every part of a scissor, named.

The full brief

If your day is full of slice, point and detail work — the cuts where the finish is everything — the Diamond's the one I'd hand you. It's built for the stylist who wants the intricate stuff to glide instead of grab, so the soft, seamless blends you're chasing actually land, every client, every time.

It feels keen and precise the moment you open it: a fine, exact tip for the close work, a glide so clean your slicing stays soft and your lines fall away. The scissor that makes intricate cutting feel easy.

From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “I built the Diamond for detail. That ground edge is unforgiving on hair and forgiving in your hand — it does exactly what you ask, every time.”

Sizes 5.7″ · 6.2″ · 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

  • Diamond-ground ATS-314 convex edge — slicing stays soft and clean instead of pushing or grabbing the hair
  • Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work on long detail sessions
  • Single bearing flat pivot — a smooth, consistent open-and-close so your close, exact work feels effortless
  • Two lengths, 5.7″ and 6.2″ — pick by your hand, and call Bec if you're not sure which suits

Who it’s not for: If most of your week is high-volume, all-day bulk cutting rather than detail, slice and texture work, the Diamond isn't the tool for that job — it's built for precision sessions where the finish matters most.

Why a real scissorsmith finishes every pair

Matt Grumley has cut hair since 1990 — 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.

Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors — common questions

What size Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors should I choose?

The Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors is available in 5.7, 6.2. A shorter blade gives you more control for detail work, precision line work and cutting in the hand. A longer blade covers more hair in a single pass, which suits scissor-over-comb and faster sectioning. If you are between two sizes, take the shorter one for detail and the longer one for volume.

What steel is the Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors made from?

The Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors 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 Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors for?

Ideal for precision-focused stylists doing detail, slice, point and texture work in lighter-hours sessions rather than high-volume days. Suits anyone from a first-year stylist to a thirty-year veteran who wants a diamond-ground convex edge that glides cleanly through close, exact cutting.

Where should I buy the Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors in Australia?

Buy the Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors 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 Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors?

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 Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors 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 Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors 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 Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors 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 Diamond Professional Hairdressing Scissors 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.
