Description
The Ichiro Amethyst shears bring artistry to your cutting technique with their stunning purple floral handle pattern and gleaming silver blade. These aren't just beautiful - they're crafted for professionals who demand performance with personality.
Meticulously engineered to be lighter than traditional shears, the Amethyst reduces hand fatigue without compromising cutting power. The seamless transition from mirror-polished blade to vibrant purple handle creates an eye-catching tool that stands out in your station.
The standout feature has to be the signature Amethyst gem-like tension adjustment system . This isn't merely decorative - it provides precise control over blade tension while adding a distinctive touch that clients notice.
Crafted from premium 440C high carbon steel, these shears deliver exceptional performance across all cutting techniques, from precision lines to slide cutting to texturizing.
Signature Crystal Tension: Amethyst-inspired gem design for precise adjustment and style
Artistic Handle: Purple floral pattern creates a seamless transition from silver blade
440C Performance: High carbon steel designed for lightweight and for superior sharpness and durability
Fatigue-Reducing: Lightweight design for comfortable all-day cutting sessions
Universal Cutting: Balanced for all techniques from precision to point cutting
Perfect Symmetry: Traditional handle design favored by many professionals
The Amethyst Advantage
When a client sits in your chair, they notice your tools. The Ichiro Amethyst shears make a statement with their distinctive purple floral handle and crystal-inspired tension system.
But looks aside, these shears are seriously light . We've heard from stylists who switched from heavier models and immediately noticed less strain during long cutting sessions.
The 440C high carbon steel blade maintains sharpness through hundreds of cuts, giving you the perfect balance of initial sharpness and long-term edge retention.
The crystal gem tension system isn't just for show. It provides exceptional control over blade resistance, allowing you to fine-tune your shears for different cutting techniques and hair types.
Size Guide
5.5": Perfect for detail work, precision cutting, and stylists with smaller hands. Ideal for short cuts, pixies, and intricate detailing.
6.0": Our most versatile size. Balances control with efficiency for most common techniques from bobs to layers.
6.5": Best for those who prefer slightly longer shears. Excellent for slide cutting techniques and working with longer hair.
Professional Opinion
"Got these about 4 months ago, and honestly wasn't sure about the purple handle at first. Now I get compliments from clients every day.
But looks aside, these cut like a dream. The lightness is what gets me - I can work a full book of clients without that usual burning in my wrist. Somehow they nailed making a lightweight shear that still feels substantial when you're cutting.
The tension system is a standout for me. It holds its setting waaay better than other shears I've used. I love that I can adjust it depending on what I'm doing - a bit looser for slide cutting, tighter for precision work.
That 440C steel is legit. Still crazy sharp after 4 months of daily use. I've been doing a lot of textured crops lately, and the tip is perfect for point cutting those details around the ears and nape.
Not gonna lie, having a pretty pair of shears matters. Clients notice, and it's a conversation starter. But I'd use these even if they were plain black - they're that good. Got the 6.0" and it's been perfect for everything I do."

Japan Scissors supports customers with clear shipping, return and warranty information. Eligible U.S. orders may ship from the U.S., Japan, Australia or approved supply partners depending on stock and the fastest reliable route.
Returns and exchanges are available within 30 days of delivery with return authorization. Approved U.S. returns are processed through our Laguna Beach, California returns address.
Warranty support is brand and model specific, and applies to confirmed manufacturing defects. Normal dulling, tension adjustment, wear, misuse, chemical damage and improper sharpening are not warranty defects.
Before judging sharpness, check the tension. New professional shears can feel loose or tight after shipping, and a small tension adjustment often fixes hair folding, pushing or uneven cutting.
Clean and dry the blades after use, oil the pivot area, and avoid cutting paper, fabric, plastic, wire or anything other than hair. Use a professional sharpener familiar with hair shears.

The order was fast to be delivered and the quality is perfect..the customer service were very quick in replying to any inquiry. I'm so grateful for choosing this brand for professional scissors ✂️ Thank you for keeping your words and the fast delivery. Adelle H. Lebanon
Love the shears! Sharp blades and light for everyday use. Only issue was the style was not the style I originally purchased. The tensioner was supposed to be green instead of red. Still a great pair of shears and customer service worked with me to make things right! Will definitely purchase another from this company! Thank you! :)
Why do you have it stated that pre-orders can be made but the button on your site does not work?
Why when I write in Direct I don't get a reply about ordering these scissors?
Why do you have irresponsible attitude to your work?
Will I finally get a reply or not?
Really pretty scissors. They fit perfectly in my hand and are really firm, but so light. Feather grip! So lucky I got them on sale! Fast Delivery! Good Service!
I'm in love! These are so cute and I was worried about cutting thick hair and avoid splits. But these are perfect and makes me look like a pro. Thaank you! :)
I bought these for my granddaughter since she graduated from beauty school and now has a job in a salon. She absolutely loves them! They fit her hands perfectly and cut with ease. I’m so happy I bought them!
I was disappointed with these scissors.
The blades are not sharp enough to make clean, precise cuts. They struggle even with light use and require extra pressure, which makes them uncomfortable to work with. Unfortunately, they did not meet my expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend them.
Love the scissors and all the little extras that come in the box but sadly after cutting with them for 6 weeks now my blades are already dull. I have no problem getting them sharpened. I was just disappointed because I thought I finally found a pair that I wouldn’t have to get sharpened all the time. I guess I just do too many haircuts🫤
