Finish the kit

A cutting scissor does half the job. The finishing work — weight out, softening a line, blending a corner — wants a thinner or a texturiser, and this model does not have a matched one in the range. Which finisher is right depends on how much weight you take and how you like the line to fall. See the thinning and texturising 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.

Specifications
Steel

Blade length
4.5"Measured 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

The Grace is for the stylist whose favourite part of the cut is the last five minutes — the fringe, the neckline, the little corrections nobody else would even notice. If you've ever fought a bigger scissor through detail work and wished for something smaller and more honest in your hand, this is that scissor: a compact, light Japanese Cobalt Alloy convex edge built for close, considered cutting, so the finish looks exactly the way you saw it in your head.

It feels delicate but cuts decisively: perfect for detailed cutting, fringe work and the precise finishing that separates a good cut from a flawless one. Elegant in the hand, razor-honest on the hair.

From Matt Grumley, Australian scissorsmith: “The Grace is for precision. Small, exact, and finished by hand until the tip is perfect.”

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

What that means at the chair

  • Convex edge — clean, quiet cuts through fine sections, no push or bend on delicate fringe lines
  • Offset Ergonomic handle — your thumb stops doing all the work when you're in close on detail
  • Single Bearing Flat tension system — the blades stay set where you put them, cut after cut
  • Compact and light — you can work at the ear and neckline for an hour without your hand telling you about it

Who it’s not for: If most of your day is heavy sectioning and high-volume cutting rather than detail and finishing, the Grace isn't the scissor for that job — it's built for close, precise work, not all-day bulk removal.

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.

Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor — common questions

What steel is the Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor made from?

The Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor 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 Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor for?

Ideal for stylists doing fine detail work, fringe work and precise finishing who want a compact, light convex edge. A Japanese Cobalt Alloy scissor for close, considered cutting rather than high-volume days.

Where should I buy the Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor in Australia?

Buy the Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor 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 Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor?

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 Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor 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 Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor 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 Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor 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 Grace Professional Hairdressing Scissor 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.
