About
About Scissor Lab Scissor Lab is a specialist distributor of professional hair scissors, operating from Saitama, Japan.
We curate, quality-inspect, and ship premium scissor brands to hairdressers and barbers worldwide.
Vision
Our Vision So that professionals worldwide can find the perfect scissors for their craft.
Scissor Lab bridges Japanese scissor culture and quality with the global beauty industry — through rigorous curation, consistent quality control, and an international distribution network built on trusted partnerships.
At Scissor Lab, we do more than distribute scissors — we are a bridge between Japanese scissor craftsmanship and the global professional hair industry. Every brand we carry is selected against professional-grade standards of performance and reliability, and all scissors are quality-inspected in Japan before reaching our partners. Beyond our publicly listed brands, we offer a full spectrum of services: additional premium brand lines, OEM manufacturing for custom branded scissors, and semi-OEM customisation for established models. Whatever your needs, contact us.
Services
What We Offer
Quality Checks, Assembly & Finishing
We hand-finish hair scissors for international brands at our Saitama facility — quality inspection, assembly and tension adjustment, basic repairs, polishing and final finishing, plus boxing and product preparation. Every pair leaves tuned to Japanese standards.
Premium Brand Distribution
We partner with a curated selection of professional scissor manufacturers across Japan, distributing to authorised distributors, salons, and retailers worldwide. Our publicly listed brands are just part of our full portfolio — contact us for the complete catalogue.
OEM Manufacturing
Connect with trusted Japanese scissor manufacturers to produce fully custom scissors — from blade geometry and handle design to steel grade and finish. Build your own branded line backed by Japanese craftsmanship.
Semi-OEM Customisation
Prefer an existing proven design? We apply custom branding, packaging, and colour options to established scissor models. A faster, lower-risk path to branded, Japan-quality scissors for your salon brand or retail range.
Direct Export from Japan
Every order is individually inspected, tension-adjusted, and dispatched directly from our Saitama facility. No intermediaries — Japanese-standard scissors delivered reliably and efficiently to our partners worldwide.
