Juntetsu combines Japanese VG10 cobalt steel with clean, ergonomic designs. The result is a thinning shear that glides through Australian hair types, holds an edge for months, and comes backed by responsive local support.
Why we rate Juntetsu
- VG10 cobalt steel (≈61 HRC) keeps the edge crisp for 12–18 months in busy salons.
- Offset handles relax the wrist and thumb, reducing fatigue during long finishing sessions.
- Lifetime manufacturing warranty with Australian distributors who stock parts and provide sharpening referrals.
- Allergy-friendly coatings (Night Series, Rose Gold) suit stylists sensitive to nickel.
Recommended thinning & texturising models
- Juntetsu 30-Tooth Blender: Everyday finishing shear removing around 25% per pass—great for blending seams and polishing fringes.
- Juntetsu Rose Gold (30 teeth): Adds hypoallergenic titanium coating; perfect for colour-heavy salons.
- Juntetsu Night Series (20 teeth): Wider spacing delivers punchy texture without chewing up ends.
- Juntetsu Chunker (14 teeth): Reliable weight removal for thick, dense hair. Use on interior sections only.
When to choose Juntetsu
- You need a reliable workhorse that resists corrosion in coastal climates.
- You prefer lightweight shears with enough handle offset to keep your hand neutral.
- You’re investing in a toolkit for apprentices—the smooth glide is forgiving while they learn weight control.
- You want matching cutting + thinning sets with identical ergonomics.
Maintenance notes
- Wipe and oil daily; the VG10 edge stays sharp longer when kept clean.
- Sharpen every 12 months (or sooner if you feel drag). Use a sharpener experienced with convex VG10 edges.
- Store in a padded case. The titanium-coated models resist scratches but still deserve protection.
