Skip it if you cut left-handed
What’s in the set?
- A cutter with a convex edge, in the length you choose. Right-handed, offset handle, SUS440C steel with Sakura detail.
- A thinner, 6.0” with 30 teeth, on the same right-handed offset handle.
Every option costs the same, so pick the length for your work, not the price.
Which cutter length should you pick?
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| 5.0” Cutting & 6.0” Thinning Set | Fringes, around the ears, close detail |
| 5.5” Cutting & 6.0” Thinning Set | An everyday all-rounder |
| 6.0” Cutting & 6.0” Thinning Set | Longer sections and layers |
| 6.5” Cutting & 6.0” Thinning Set | Long hair, wider sections |
| 7.0” Cutting & 6.0” Thinning Set | Scissor-over-comb |
Not sure? Take the 5.5” or 6.0”. Our size guide shows how to measure the pair you already have.
Who does it suit?
A hairdresser who wants a good-looking matched pair without paying for two single scissors. Bought one at a time, the Sakura II cutter and thinner cost A$254.90; the set is A$199.95.
It also suits apprentices whose course list gives a cutter length. You can match it exactly.
What should you keep in mind?
Right-handed only. Left-handers, the Mina Jay II set costs less and comes in Left from 5.0” to 7.0”.
The thinner doesn’t change. Choosing the 7.0” set still gets you the 6.0” thinner, which is the size most thinners come in anyway.
