Mina: Professional Quality for Every Stylist
Since 2018, Mina has been proving that exceptional scissors don't require exceptional budgets. Perfect for students, newly qualified stylists, and established professionals seeking reliable backup scissors, Mina delivers quality that consistently exceeds expectations.
Democratising Professional Tools
Here's what Mina believes - every stylist deserves professional-grade tools, regardless of budget. By streamlining production and selling directly, they've created scissors that match premium brands' quality at prices that make sense for real people.
UK hairdressing colleges have embraced Mina because they solve a real problem - students need professional tools but can't afford traditional professional prices. Mina bridges that gap brilliantly.
How Do They Do It?
- Professional-Grade Steel: Same materials as premium brands
- Hot-Forged Construction: Traditional technique, modern efficiency
- Direct Sales Model: No middleman markups
- Lifetime Warranty: Confidence in quality at any price point

Which blade length suits my work?
Measure from the tip of your thumb to the end of your middle finger. 5.5"–6.0" suits most salon work; barbers often prefer 6.0"–7.0". Each product page has the full size table.
What do the steel types mean?
Harder steels (higher HRC) hold an edge longer and cut cleaner, but ask for more careful handling. Softer steels are more forgiving to learn on. The specs on each product list the exact steel.
Do you offer left-handed scissors?
Yes — many pairs come in a true left-handed build with the blades and handle reversed, not just a flipped thumb ring. Look for the handedness option on the product, or ask us.
What if the pair isn't right for my hand?
You have 30 days to try it. If it isn't the right fit, return it for an exchange or a refund.
