The full brief

The Elite is for the stylist whose day is precision work — clean sections, exact tips, cuts that have to land first time. If you want a light, balanced pair with a decisive convex bite that turns careful work into easy work, this is the one I'd put in your hand.

Light in the hand, exact at the tip, and smooth all the way through the stroke — it’s the scissor that turns careful work into easy work. The pair you trust when the cut has to land.

From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Elite is precision you can feel. I finish that edge until it bites clean and holds — nothing wasted.”

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

What that means at the chair

  • ATS-314 convex edge — the bite stays clean and decisive deep into the shift, not just out of the box
  • Offset ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work on long days behind the chair
  • Single bearing flat pivot — a smooth, even stroke from heel to tip, every section
  • 5.5 inch length — sized for detail and precision work close to the head, not bulk removal

Who it’s not for: The Elite comes in one length — 5.5 inch — so if your day leans on long-blade work like scissor-over-comb, this isn't the pair; it's built for precision cutting and clean sectioning.

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.

Elite Professional Hairdressing Scissors — common questions

What size Elite Professional Hairdressing Scissors should I choose?

The Elite Professional Hairdressing Scissors is available in 5.5. 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 Elite Professional Hairdressing Scissors made from?

The Elite 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 Elite Professional Hairdressing Scissors for?

For stylists who want a precise, decisive convex bite in a light, balanced pair — clean sectioning and a smooth stroke that turns careful work into easy work.

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

Buy the Elite 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 Elite 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 Elite 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 Elite 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 Elite 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 Elite 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.
