About Best Scissors Australia

Our Story

Best Scissors Australia was born from a simple frustration: finding reliable, honest information about scissors in the Australian market was surprisingly difficult. Whether you're a professional hairdresser looking for the perfect pair of thinning shears, a passionate quilter searching for precision fabric scissors, or a home gardener needing reliable secateurs, the options can be overwhelming.

Our founding team includes a former salon owner with over fifteen years of experience selecting and maintaining professional hairdressing scissors, a textile artist who has tested countless fabric shears throughout her career, and a horticulturist who understands exactly what makes a pruning tool exceptional for Australian native gardens. Together, we've combined our diverse expertise to create a resource that truly understands the nuances of scissor selection.

We believe that the right scissors aren't just tools—they're extensions of your craft. A hairdresser's shears become an extension of their artistic vision. A seamstress's fabric scissors enable precision that transforms fabric into wearable art. A gardener's pruners maintain the health and beauty of precious plants. That's why we take our recommendations seriously.

Every product we feature has been evaluated against strict criteria: blade quality and edge retention, ergonomic design for extended use, build quality and durability, value for money in the Australian market, and real-world performance in hands-on testing. We don't just read specifications—we use these tools in real-world conditions to understand how they truly perform.

Based in Melbourne but serving all of Australia, we're committed to helping our fellow Aussies make informed purchasing decisions. From professional-grade Japanese steel shears to budget-friendly craft scissors, from heavy-duty kitchen shears to delicate embroidery snips, we cover it all. Our mission is simple: to be your trusted guide in the world of cutting tools.
