About us
The NZ hairdresser's scissor guide.
Hair Scissors NZ is a small store for New Zealand hairdressers and barbers. Many of the people who order from us work in smaller towns, a long way from a trade counter where they could try scissors in person. We try to make choosing online as close to that as we can: a short range, explained honestly, with the trade-offs spelled out.
Why the range is small
We carry 5 scissors and sets. We could list many more, but a long list doesn't help you choose. A short one lets us explain each model properly: what it's good at, who it suits and where the catch is. If something better for New Zealand hairdressers comes along, we'll add it. Until then, we'd rather keep the shelf tidy.
Who we're for
Working hairdressers and barbers right across the country, apprentices putting together a first kit while they train, and salon owners buying for their team. If you've ever ordered a scissor online and found it was the wrong length or the wrong hand, you're exactly who we write for.
How we write about scissors
Plainly.
- We describe a scissor by its facts: the hand, the lengths it comes in, the handle, the edge, the steel and what's in the box.
- We don't give star ratings or "best ever" badges, and we don't rush you with countdown timers.
- When there's a catch, we say so. When the right answer depends on your hand and your work, we say that too.
The NZ guide pulls all of that together on one page: choosing, sizes, care and delivery.
