ALL-ROUNDER SERIES: ANCHOR 5.5"
I’m impressed with how versatile the ANCHOR 5.5" shears are. Their razor-sharp blades make cutting perfectly straight lines effortless and precise. They glide smoothly through both wet and dry hair when slide cutting. I couldn’t be happier working with these amazing shears.
TEXTURIZER SERIES: MAGIC T1010
I still remember the first time I used the MAGIC T1010. The way it effortlessly sliced through a thick section of hair left me in awe. I was instantly hooked and knew I had to get my own. These shears excel at all texturizing techniques, but what truly sets them apart is how seamlessly they blend a natural outline.
ALL-ROUNDER SERIES: NIGATA 6.0"
I love how the NIGATA 6.0" feels in my hand—perfectly balanced with a superior cutting edge. Whether it's one-length, square, or gradient cuts, these shears deliver smooth, clean lines with ease. They provide comfort and precision for everyday basics, making NIGATA 6.0" my go-to shears.
BARBERING SERIES: CAPTAIN 7.0
Captain 7.0" fits comfortably in my large hands. Useful for scissors over comb and detailing types of line work easy and precise.
