Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller

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

Built for: chunky, intentional texture and signature dramatic finishes

Who it suits For stylists who want visible, deliberate texture — ten wide teeth carve channels through a section to create separation and movement, so the result is meant to be seen. If you want invisible blending instead, a higher tooth count is the tool for that job.

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.

Finish the kit

This is a finishing tool, not a cutting scissor. If you are building a kit rather than adding to one, you will want a cutter beside it — and this model is not sold as a matched pair, so the hand and the length are your choice. See the cutting range.

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.

The full brief

The Dracula 10 carves texture and movement no ordinary scissor can. A wide-set Japanese Cobalt Alloy channelling edge built to remove weight and create flow in one clean pass — the tool for visible, deliberate texture.

It feels precise and controlled, carving channels that create separation and movement. The tool that makes a finish look effortless and expensive — and gives your work a signature softness.

The spec: wide-set teeth on a 6010 radial blade in Japanese Cobalt Alloy — firmly in the channelling bracket, removing a heavy share of the hair caught between the teeth per closure. That’s why it carves movement a fine thinner can’t: channelling scissors don’t blend weight away, they cut channels of negative space that make the remaining hair move. If you’re searching for channelling or chunking scissors in Australia, this is the bench’s channelling pick — see the rest of the thinning, texturising and channelling line.

Choosing between channellers? Reach for the Dracula 10 when you want carved, obvious texture. The Firebird Channeller/Texturiser is built for moderate channelling — visible texture without the chunk — and the Jada 16 is the line’s other channeller, built for pronounced texture where the channels are the design intent. If you want the opposite, weight gone with no visible join, that is a thinner’s job: the 30-tooth Geisha Thinner with its even, moderate bite per closure, or the 35-tooth Vampire 35 with its lighter bite per closure.

From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Dracula 10 is for texture with control. It removes weight and leaves movement — finished by hand to cut soft, never harsh.”

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

What that means at the chair

  • Wide-set channelling edge — pulls real weight out in one pass, so you're not going over the same section three times
  • Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work on long texturising days
  • Cobalt Alloy at 58 HRC — holds its edge through steady salon use, so the soft cut stays soft between services
  • Single bearing flat pivot — a smooth, consistent action, so the channeller glides instead of grabbing

Who it’s not for: This isn't a cutting scissor — it's the finishing tool that works alongside one. If you're after a scissor for clean baseline cutting rather than removing weight and building texture, the channeller isn't the pair to reach for.

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.

Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller — common questions

What steel is the Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller made from?

The Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller is made from Cobalt Alloy. 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 Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller for?

For stylists who want visible, deliberate texture — ten wide teeth carve channels through a section to create separation and movement, so the result is meant to be seen. If you want invisible blending instead, a higher tooth count is the tool for that job.

Where should I buy the Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller in Australia?

Buy the Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller 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 Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller?

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 Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller 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 Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller 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 Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller 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 Dracula 10 Professional Hairdressing Channeller 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.
