Our picks under A$200

How we chose: Four picks on price, edge, handle and hand. We sell them and haven’t run cutting tests. Prices come from each product page.

  • Catalogue photo of the Mina Umi Hair Cutting Scissors

    Mina Umi Hair Cutting Scissors

    Best for a first pair on a budget

    A flat edge and an offset handle, right- or left-handed.
    Keep in mind: It’s one cutter. The Umi set adds a 30-tooth thinner and still comes in under A$200.

  • Catalogue photo of the Mina Classic II Hair Cutting Scissors

    Mina Classic II Hair Cutting Scissors

    Best for blunt lines with a micro-serrated edge

    A micro-serrated bevel edge holds the hair as the blades close, with a semi-offset handle.
    Keep in mind: Micro-serration suits blunt cutting. For lots of slide cutting, pick a smooth edge.

  • Catalogue photo of the Ichiro Ergo Apprentice Hair Cutting Scissor

    Ichiro Ergo Apprentice Hair Cutting Scissor

    Best for apprentices

    Ichiro’s apprentice pair, as a 5.5” convex slice or a 6.0” micro-serrated cutter.
    Keep in mind: Check which edge your course names.

  • Catalogue photo of the Mina Dark Gem Cutting Scissors

    Mina Dark Gem Cutting Scissors

    Best for barbers and scissor-over-comb

    The Mina Dark Gem: a long, flat-edge cutter in 6.5” or 7.0”, with an offset handle.
    Keep in mind: Right-handed only. Keep a shorter pair for detail around the ears.

Need a cutter and thinner together? The Mina Umi set has both, in either hand.

Common questions

Are scissors under A$200 good enough for salon work?

For a first pair or a backup, yes. These are professional cutters and thinners with proper hand and size options. Spend more once you know exactly which edge, steel and handle you want.

What should I buy first on a budget?

One cutter that fits your hand and your main work. Add a thinner when your cuts need weight out, or buy a set if you need both now.
