Mina Scissors is a professional hair shear brand headquartered in Ginza, Tokyo. We make hair cutting and thinning shears for hairdressers, barbers, and students — shipped worldwide from our office in Japan.
The Brand
Based in the heart of Tokyo’s Ginza district, Mina Scissors has built a reputation for quality hair cutting and thinning shears at a fair price. Every pair is finished with ergonomic handles and Japanese style blades for smooth, controlled cutting.
We work with hairdressers and barbers across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia — either through our network of distributors or directly from our Tokyo office.
A Focus on Craft
Cutting hair at a professional level is a craft that demands the right tool. We design our shears with that in mind: ergonomic handles that reduce fatigue over long hours, blades that hold their edge, and finishing that is checked by hand before the scissors leave us.
- Finished in Tokyo by the team that also runs the sharpening service
- Ergonomic handles that reduce wrist fatigue over a full salon day
- Japanese style blades that hold their edge through daily use
- Sold worldwide through authorised distributors and direct from Ginza
Our sharpening service — available for every model we make — is part of the same philosophy. When you return a pair of Mina shears to our workshop, the same attention that went into making them goes into maintaining them.
The Range
Our range covers the needs of every stage of a professional career:
- Sakura — flower-pattern ergonomic handle, all-rounder cutting and thinning

In the Hands of Working Stylists
The Sakura has been on my station for four years. When the edge finally dulled I sent it to Tokyo — came back cutting like new. I don't know another maker that stands behind the tool this way.
Senior stylist, Melbourne
I bought my first pair of Umi as an apprentice. I now own four. Fair price, serious tool, and the feel of a scissor you know was finished by hand in Tokyo.

Asked a question over email and got a reply the next morning — from the workshop in Ginza, not a customer service script. That's when I knew.
