Common questions

Do left-handers need left-handed scissors?

Yes, if you cut with your left hand. A left-handed pair has its blades the other way round, so they close together under your grip instead of pushing apart. A right-handed pair held in your left hand does the opposite.

Can I get every size left-handed?

Not always. Left-hand sizes often differ from right-hand ones. The Mina Umi comes left-handed in 5.5", 6.0" and 7.0" only, and the Joewell FX LEFTY only in 5.5". Choose Left in the selector before you compare prices.

Are there left-handed thinners and sets?

Yes. The Ichiro Rose Lefty comes as a thinner and as a set, the Mina Umi thinner has a left-hand option, and the Kamisori Jewel III and Revolver III thinners come in either hand.

What's a good left-handed pair on a budget?

The Mina Umi in Left 5.5", or the Ichiro Rose Lefty, a 6.0" convex slice pair with an offset grip. Prices are on each product page.

Which left-handed pair suits a barber?

The Joewell LSF Lefty has a long left-handed blade for scissor-over-comb work, and the Mina Umi comes left-handed in 7.0". Joewell lists the LSF at 74 mm for the 6.5" and 85 mm for the 7.0".
