What our clients say...

You will never look back.

“It’s Joe here, we used to work together. I heard you met Ashley from Scissorhands the other day and was thinking about his Evo and Soft Cut Balance cutting?

I just wanted to let you know how his scissor concept saved my career and has kept me busy and thriving for the last 10 years.

If you decide to take the plunge and go ahead with the Evo – Soft Cut, you will never look back. It has enabled me to increase the number of clients per day equalling more turnover and profit each and every day.

Its faster, easier and much more effective than using the regular straight blade scissors. There is no head of hair you wont be able to tame. From giving volume to finer hair and balancing the weight and texture of thicker coarser hair, layers are soft and seamless. My clients say they can actually manage their own hair at home.

If you want to; work more efficiently, make more money, have more clients and of course make them so happy, I would recommend getting Ashley to your salon and show you have to use the Evo and show you a modern way of cutting.

I can’t tell you how passionate I am about this way of doing my clients now. If you have any questions just say, honestly I’m more than happy top tell you about my own experiences.”

We’ve been using Scissorhands for over 7 years now

“In a salon where I’m always being bombarded with new products and so called great ideas for my salon, it’s nice to deal with Ashley and the team at Scissorhands who are from a hairdressers back ground. We’ve been using Scissorhands for over 7 years now.

We started buying our scissors because Ashley was the first person to explain anything about scissors that made any real sense. Since then we have been on various training courses and had in salon training sessions to help my staff really get to grips with how to cut with the various cutting tools they recommend. All my staff now have a set of cutting equipment from Scissorhands as a result.

We’ve really enjoyed learning a new way to do things and the buzz it gives us from trying out new haircutting ideas. On a personal note, I suffered from sore tendons for around 4 years. I have been using  a pair of Revolving thumb scissors for over a year now on recommendation. I am glad to say that the pain has really reduced as a result.”

I had finally hit the jack pot.

“I was given Ashley’s contact through Sabre Europe (our Fudge distributors) to fix a couple of pairs of scissors which I had bought and had lost their thumb for the third time. The other provider tried to fix them themselves… When I spoke to Ashley and saw his website, I was really impressed. After the repairs came back to the clients and a week had gone by with no complaints I knew that I had finally hit the jack pot.”

 – Duncan Abela, Sidroc Services in Malta

I Highly recommend Scissorhands to all hairdressers.

“I recently purchased a superb new pair of 6.5″ rotating thumb shears from Ashley at Scissorhands.We also had two pairs of our shears sharpened, so well that they are now better than new! Ashley visited the salon, advising in detail which pair of shears would suit my needs, explaining the way that Scissorhands works in partnership with salons to provide training  and support.

I’ve been in the industry for 30yrs and it was refreshing to speak to Ashley as he understands the needs of professional hairdressers and the significance of good advice from someone who is a fellow professional. I Highly recommend Scissorhands to all hairdressers.”

 – Christopher Jones

It’s a relationship you have for life.

“Scissorhands have changed the way I cut hair and they have made hairdressing so much more interesting and creative for me. Having the support from Ashley and his team with education, you don’t just purchase a pair of scissors and walk away, it’s a relationship you have for life.”

– Sam Cox – Fringe, York

They are brilliant!

“Hi Ashley – I’m totally in love with the scissors! They are brilliant and would recommend to anyone and already have in fact! They are brilliant. Thanks very much! Will encourage Jean to get you in a bit more often, I know I benefited from everything you said so I’m sure others would too. Thanks again”

 – Donna Jackson

Every hairdresser should invest

“OMG I love these scissors, I should have know about them 10 years ago when I first started hairdressing. Every hairdresser should invest. The best thing I ever did xxxx”

Amy Latham, Julianne’s Beauty Studio, Keighley, West Yorkshire

Look forward to buying from you again in the future!

“I just wanted to say that the scissors both arrived yesterday, can’t wait to use them! I especially wanted to say thank you for the case and for engraving both pairs, I really appreciate it. I’ve told all my college friends about you and cannot recommend you highly enough – it’s great to see a company that cares about it’s customers and actually delivers what it promises! Look forward to buying from you again in the future! Thanks again.”

 – Heidi Green – Student at Aylesbury College, Bucks

This is just to say thank you very much

“I purchased Ergo 6 inch left hand scissors as a Christmas present for my daughter Lucy. She worked New Years Eve as most hairdressers do, and she absolutely loved them, was amazed at the sharpness and change it made to her comfort etc when cutting and really enjoyed a good days work. This is just to say thank you very much and we will definitely use your site in the future and will pass on your services to her salon team at Saks in Southampton.”

You have yourself a customer for life

Dear Ashley,

I am not one to regularly review items that I have purchased or give companies general feedback on products or service unless I have cause for complaint!  However, I feel compelled to write to you to tell you just how please I am with all the help and advice I have received as a Scissorhands customer. Having recently completed an NVQ in Barbering, I am just taking my first steps in the industry. Being 39 I have come into the world of hairdressing quite late and with a clear intention to succeed quite quickly and gain a reputation as a good stylist for men in my area.

Whatever I have undertaken in life, be it a hobby or career choice, I have always tried to do plenty of research and study into getting things right. Imagine then my frustrations, when toward the end of my course I started to research into various bits of hairdressing equipment, only to find that worthwhile advice and help seemed to be sadly lacking. Non more so than in the world of scissor choice. With so many brands and designs out there I found it incredible that there was nothing I could find that could tell me what scissors to buy and why.

I knew that there must be better than the £16 pair that was in my college kit, but was reluctant to invest based purely on brand and price. And then came you. I stumbled across one of your YouTube videos, within which, you freely explained the different designs of scissors, both handle and blade shape, what they do, why they do it, you even covered steel forging temperatures and differing grades of steel!! Here is a company I need to find out more about I thought.

I avidly tuned into all of your YouTube videos absorbing whatever information I could, falling in love with the simplicity of the presentation and the choice of products, particularly the brilliant 15 tooth scissor that was going to save my fingers from the perils of point cutting! Alas, with all this information came some concern that I would surely not be able to afford any of the products you  design and purvey. My college tutors voice ringing in my head “You can spend silly money on scissors Keith’!!

Imagine then my delight when I visited your website to discover that you had scissors to fit my budget and to cap it all, when I filled in a ‘Contact Us’ enquiry, none other than your good self, the man from the YouTube videos personally responded. Seriously Ashley, I can’t thank you enough. You have given me true customer service, answering literally tens of emails from me at all hours and provided great support over the phone too. Your ‘can do’ and ‘nothing is to much trouble’ attitude has helped me find the right scissors for what I needed and to fit my budget.

I am now the proud owner of a Scissorhands Complete Carbon Set and you have yourself a customer for life. I look forward to attending the free training day we discussed and meeting you in person to gain some extra help in using the layering/texturising scissors in particular. However I have to say, I have used the 15 tooth scissor a couple of times already and they given great results.

Feel free to put this on your website. Anything I can do to help get you the popularity you deserve is my pleasure.”

– Keith Dewhurst, Blades Mobile Barber Service

This company is not just about selling you a pair of scissors, it’s an experience!

“Ever so friendly and knowledgeable shopping extravaganza from people who love and understand their scissors.

I purchased another pair; yes you do need more than one scissors if you are master of your craft. After a Ergo 6.5 inch Hairdressers Scissors and Magnus Evo Hairdressers Layering, Texturising Scissors, the family was completed with a Lite 5.5 inch Hairdressers Scissors and I cannot be happier. They feel like extended hand. Edward would be pleased. They cut so precisely and are well controlled. Great for any types of hair but I love them when cutting medium to fine hair. Highly addictive!

This company is not just about selling you a pair of scissors, it’s an experience! Scissorhands are the only one I trust to sharpen my scissors with. They will turn quickly your old ones into a new and they are cheap too. I’m looking forward to have my old snipers serviced soon. I know what to expect. Great service which is easy to pass on to my clients.”

You have a client for life here

“Hi Ashley

It was great meeting you at Salon International. I bought 2 pairs of your scissors, a pair of Evo layering scissors and offset revolving thumb scissors. I have to say I am totally in love with both pairs, and you were correct about the layering scissors! They have transformed my way of cutting. My clients have noticed the difference too.

The main reason I bought my scissors from you was because of your passion for the product, more so then any other trade representative at Salon International. You answered all my questions and had such great knowledge about every aspect of the scissors from making them to repairing and servicing them.

You have a client for life here, and I want to thank you for offering to service my other 3 pairs of scissors (which are currently in the post to you) I also have given your details to my friend for her to send her scissors too.
Thank you again.”
