Juntetsu Scissors for Salon Cutting

Juntetsu is an independent Japanese scissors brand with cutters and texturising tools for different jobs at the chair. Start with the technique you use most, then compare the exact model’s edge, handle and size. The construction varies across the range.

Choose by the work

• Clean lines and detail: Balance lists a straight precision blade with a sharp point, a light body and an offset handle.
• A classic handle and colour: Akane pairs a symmetrical handle and convex edge with a matte rose-gold finish. Its three listed sizes run from 5.0” to 6.0”.
• Longer cutting passes: Sword models offer longer sizes for sections and scissor-over-comb. Compare their individual pages for the blade and handle configuration.
• Weight removal: Compare tooth count and cutting ratio on the specific Juntetsu thinner. Those details matter more than the family name.

The steel and hardness also differ by model. VG10 appears on Balance and Akane; check the product page for the grade, edge and available variant you are considering. A finish or series name alone does not tell you how a scissor will cut.

Shop the Juntetsu range to compare current models and prices.

Care and comparison

Wipe the blades after use, keep the pivot clean and oil it as needed. When cutting begins to drag, use a professional sharpening service familiar with the edge on your chosen model. The steel library explains grade terminology, while the buying guide helps narrow size and handle choices.
