A shears store for Canadian salons.

Who we're for

Most of our customers are working stylists who already know how they like to cut. They want a reliable shear that fits their hand, a clear picture of what they're buying and a simple way to order it. We also hear from students choosing a first professional shear, and from salon owners setting up a new team member's station.

If that's you, you're in the right place. You don't need to know steel grades or edge angles to buy well here. Hand, length, handle and the job it needs to do settle most decisions.

What we carry

We carry cutting shears, thinning shears and matched sets from 5 makers. Each maker's collection page explains what that maker does well and who it tends to suit. Every product page lists the hand, the lengths available, the handle style and what comes in the box, so you can compare like with like.

We don't fill the shelf with every shear we can find. A shorter, well-explained range is easier to choose from, and it means we can answer questions about each model properly.

How we write about shears

1. We describe what a shear is and what it does, in plain words.
2. You won't find star ratings, "number one" badges or countdown timers here.
3. When we recommend one type of shear over another, we tell you why, and we say when the right answer depends on your hand and your work.

Our salon guides cover the questions we're asked most: choosing a first salon shear, caring for shears through a dry winter, and building a kit without overspending.
