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.

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.

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

The smooth, dependable Geisha — built genuinely left-handed. Not a reversed right-hander, but a true lefty on a Japanese Cobalt Alloy convex edge tuned for a soft, forgiving glide that feels right in a left hand all day.

Balanced, light and easy, it gives left-handed stylists the everyday favourite they’ve been missing — clean control, a beautiful glide, and none of the compromise of a flipped scissor.

From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “Left-handed stylists deserve a scissor built for them. The Geisha lefty is finished by hand to glide — properly left, properly smooth.”

Every Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors includes

  • The genuine left-handed scissor in your choice of screw colour — Black, Indigo, Blue, Red Diamante, Pink, Silver, Pearl, Pink Diamante, Blue Diamante, Black Diamante, Magenta
  • Hand-finished at Matt’s Lake Wendouree bench and inspected by Matt before it ships — no batch passes
  • Presentation case
  • Personal sizing guidance — not sure which length suits your hand? Call Bec on 0487 391 647

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

What that means at the chair

  • True left-handed build — no more forcing a flipped right-hander to behave, so your cutting hand stops fighting the scissor by lunchtime
  • Convex edge on Cobalt Alloy — that soft, forgiving glide through slide cutting and point cutting instead of a push
  • Offset ergonomic left-handed handle — your thumb sits where it naturally wants to, and your wrist wears the difference over a full column of clients
  • Single bearing flat pivot — tension stays smooth and consistent, so the scissor feels the same at the last cut of the day as the first

Who it’s not for: If you cut right-handed this isn't your scissor — and if you want the matching thinner alongside it, the Geisha Left-Handed bundle is the better buy than the scissor alone.

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.

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

Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors — common questions

What size Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors should I choose?

The Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors is available in 5.0, 6.0, 6.5. 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 Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors made from?

The Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors 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 Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors for?

For left-handed stylists who want a true lefty all-rounder — not a reversed right-hander — with a soft, forgiving glide and clean control all day.

Buy the Geisha Left-Handed Professional Hairdressing Scissors directly from ShearGenius at sheargenius.com.au.

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 Geisha Left-Handed 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.

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 Geisha Left-Handed 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.

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