Mina Scissors is a professional hair shear brand based in Saitama, Japan. Every pair is hand-finished, quality-checked, and triple-inspected at our Saitama workshop before it ships to our authorised distributors and retail partners worldwide.
The Brand
From our main facility in Saitama, Japan, 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 — then passes through three separate inspection stages before leaving the workshop.
We serve hairdressers and barbers across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia through a growing network of authorised distributors and professional beauty supply retailers.
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 by hand in Saitama by the team that also runs the sharpening service
- Triple-inspected — each pair passes three separate quality checks before dispatch
- Ergonomic handles that reduce wrist fatigue over a full salon day
- Japanese-style blades that hold their edge through daily use
- Supplied worldwide through our authorised distributors and retail partners
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

Trusted by Partners Worldwide
The quality-to-price ratio is what convinced us to stock Mina. Our salon customers keep reordering — once a stylist tries the Umi or the Sakura, they don't go back. That kind of product loyalty makes our job easy.
Beauty supply distributor, Brooklyn, New York
Stylists today want better tools — the market is changing and they notice the difference. Mina fills a gap we couldn't find anywhere else: genuine Japanese craftsmanship at a price point that works for independent salons.
Distributor, Toronto
We've carried Mina for three years now and our return rate is essentially zero. The build quality speaks for itself. When a product doesn't come back, the customer does.

The sharpening service is a genuine differentiator for us in Europe. It gives our clients a reason to stay with the brand long-term, and that repeat relationship is what builds a sustainable business.

I placed a wholesale enquiry on a Monday evening and had a detailed reply from the Saitama team by Tuesday morning — pricing, lead times, shipping options, all confirmed. Four days later the stock was in Paris.

Stocking the full range from the entry-level models through to the Umi and Black Diamond means we can serve every tier — apprentices, mid-career stylists, and seasoned professionals. One brand, every customer.
