  • Why choose ergonomics?

    Choosing scissors with an ergonomic handle is important when a hairdresser is looking for comfort or a solution to muscle fatigue in the hand, wrist, and arm.

  • Convex sharpening or...?

    Micro-serrated, integrated edge, razor-sharp... There are many types of sharpening on scissors with multiple nuances. Lately, convex sharpening has become the favorite for its precision characteristics.

  • Versatility and ductility

    Some hairdressing scissors are designed to perform specific tasks (precision, thinning, etc.). At Focus, we believe that, thanks to the skill of our craftsmen, it's important to offer a range of scissors capable of performing multiple tasks.

  • FTech Screw Balancing System

    Our FTech Focus Screw balancing system is highly unique and has been engineered over the years. Essentially, our FTech screw, in addition to its ball bearing mechanism, offers perpetual blade balancing and a unique fit for the hairdresser's hand.

  • Steel, yes, but which one?

    Stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt steel, VG10... there are many materials and each has characteristics that many do not consider to be specific to achieving certain sharpenings.

    For example, a long-lasting Convex Shark sharpening, like ours,

    It can only be supported by a material even more engineered than Japanese VG10, namely FSC Focus Super Cobalt.

  • Comfort on Scissors

    Silence, smoothness, ergonomics, precision, and adaptability are all essential features of professional hairdressing scissors, and Focus is committed to offering a combination of these concepts across several distinct lines. Every hairdresser and barber has their own approach, so finding the right model—and therefore comfort—is crucial.

Hybrid Sf

We designed the prototype of the first Italian Focus Hybrid SF shears in 1980, and have since been imitated in various forms and interpretations. The original is here: classic shape, self-tensioning and balanced screw, smooth-running blades that don't dent, and extraordinary lightness. The blades are serrated on the back, as per the Italian standard.

  • Point Cut

    This cutting technique requires attention to detail and a certain amount of speed. It involves identifying and precisely cutting specific strands of hair to create a flowing effect.

  • Precision Cutting

    To achieve a proper precision cut, you'll definitely need professional scissors that are lightweight, razor-sharp, and tapered. This will ensure the result is achieved simply and naturally, while respecting the hairdresser's or barber's creativity.

  • Offset, Semi Offset or Classic?

    An offset scissors is in line with the natural shape of the hand and therefore more comfortable to hold.

    Semi-offset scissors are scissors that have two slightly offset rings and can be an excellent compromise for those switching from a classic grip to a different one.

    The classic handle, on the other hand, has two finger rings at the same height and is considered a universal fit.
