• Description

Handcrafted in Japan by Yasaka. The ultimate professional barber toolkit—two cutting shears plus precision thinning shears. Complete versatility for every cutting technique and hair type.

This three-piece Master Set gives you the freedom to match shear length to technique. Choose two cutting shear sizes that complement your workflow, plus a professional thinning shear for texture control. All built from ATS-314 cobalt steel for lasting performance.

• Why the 3-Piece Master Set?

Professional barbers don't use one shear for everything. Different techniques demand different tools. This set recognizes that reality.

Two Cutting Lengths = Complete Coverage: Pair a longer shear (6" or 7") for scissor-over-comb and bulk work with a shorter shear (5" or 5.5") for detail work and precision cutting. Or choose sizes that match your specific cutting techniques.

Thinning Shear Completes the Kit: The 6" thinning shear handles texture control, fade blending, and seamless transitions. Essential for modern barbering and styling work.

Stay in Your Flow: Stop switching between borrowed shears or making compromises. The right tool is always within reach. This matters when you're running appointments back-to-back.

Better Value: Buying three individual Yasaka shears costs significantly more. This set gives you complete professional capability at better pricing.

• Cutting Shear Size Guide

Choose two sizes that complement your workflow:

4.5" - 5.0": Detail work, precision cutting, close work around ears and neckline. Excellent control for intricate cuts.

5.5" - 6.0": Versatile all-around lengths. Handle most cutting techniques comfortably. The professional standard for salon and barbering work.

7.0": Extended reach for scissor-over-comb, fade work, and efficient bulk removal. The barbering specialist length.

All cutting shears feature the clam-shaped convex edge for smooth slicing action and the offset handle for natural hand positioning.

• Thinning Shear Options

Select the teeth configuration that matches your texturizing approach:

YS-160 (16 Teeth): Aggressive texture removal, 30-40% cut away. Best for heavy texturizing and dramatic weight reduction on thick, dense hair.

YS-200 (20 Teeth): Balanced texture control, 30-40% cut away. Versatile option for most barbering and styling applications.

YS-300 (30 Teeth): Subtle blending, 20-35% cut away. Ideal for delicate fade work and creating natural-looking texture without obvious lines.

YS-400 (40 Teeth): Maximum texture, 40-50% cut away. Specialized for extreme texturizing and creating soft, diffused edges perfect for blending clipper work.

All thinning shears feature Yasaka's Japanese Sharpened Prism Technology—ensures clean cutting action without hair folding or pushing.

• ATS-314 Cobalt Steel Performance

All three shears in this Master Set are forged from premium ATS-314 cobalt stainless steel—the same material used in high-end Japanese cutting tools.

This steel maintains a razor-sharp edge through hundreds of daily cuts. While budget shears require sharpening every 4-6 weeks, these hold their edge significantly longer. Critical for high-volume shops where downtime costs money.

The clam-shaped convex edge geometry works with the steel's properties to create effortless slicing action. Less resistance per cut means less hand fatigue. After a full day of appointments, this difference is substantial.

• Built for Professional Ergonomics

The offset handle design on all three shears positions your thumb and fingers at a natural angle, reducing wrist strain during repetitive cutting motions.

Lightweight construction across the entire set means you're not fighting gravity during extended cutting sessions. When you're working 8-10 hour days with back-to-back appointments, this weight difference matters.

All three shears share the same ergonomic principles—switching between them feels natural rather than requiring hand position adjustment. Your muscle memory stays consistent throughout the day.

• Professional Opinion

"The Yasaka Barber Scissors 3-piece Master Set excels in precision cutting, layering, and texturizing, thanks to its versatile size range and meticulously crafted clam-shaped convex edges. Having two cutting lengths available eliminates the need to compromise during complex cuts—you simply reach for the appropriate tool. The YS series thinning shears prove particularly effective, with the range of teeth options (16T to 40T) accommodating everything from aggressive texture removal to subtle blending work. This Master Set adapts seamlessly to diverse cutting methodologies and hair types, making it an essential toolkit for professional barbers seeking complete versatility without maintaining a large shear collection."
