4. Sozu
Let's look at a few products in more detail.
Expand Description
Sozu scissors are one of Scissor Tech’s greatest yet affordable collection for the aspiring hairdresser that can’t quite yet afford the next best scissor. Which in our and many others opinion is by far obviously the Matsui collection. Much like the Matsui scissor collection, it is of course made from only the best Japanese steel that will give you only the best quality scissor at a more than decent price tag with it before you move on up to your next higher quality scissor. As Matsui had such success back in 1998, Sozu created their range shortly after the Matsui came out.
Our Sozu scissors are quickly becoming a crowd favorite with the sleek easy to use design of the scissor along with the multiple colors to choose from and some that even have the individually handcrafted pretty yet of course elegant design to them that will make them stand out from the classic’s that most hairdressers have. Be comfortable in your new Sozu pair of scissors knowing that they have been designed and tested with junior hairdressers to know they can be used comfortably and can create magical and multiple haircuts with them.
