Akito Scissors
The Hiro
- Hand crafted from Cobalt enriched Japanese 440C Steel providing the blades with a beautifully sharp, durable and powerful cutting edge.
- The Hiro features a Tapered Blade which retains the weight at the back of the blade that subsequently provides a slim surface and power to the cutting edge. The Ultra Precision Tip (0.2 - 0.29cm) and Ultra Precision Blade (0.8 - 1.04cm) make for a slim and lighter feeling scissor that possesses enhanced power on the tip making for an all-round Hairdressing & Barbering Scissor.
- The 100% Japanese convex blade edge is razor sharp making the Hiro a specialist in all cutting techniques.
- Ultra Ergonomic Off-Set Crane Handle design increases hand comfort and mobility, reducing the risks of developing RSI or Carpal tunnel syndrome. The Crane curve of the scissor promotes an improved cutting posture with a more relaxed shoulder and arm position, subsequently reducing fatigue and risks of developing back and shoulder injuries. The Hiro has a Finger Ring diameter of 2.0cm and a Thumb Ring diameter of 2.0cm.
- Removable Finger Rest with Finger Bar Separator for enhanced stability and control over the guiding blade.
- The UFO adjustable tension system is flat to the scissors surface and feels effortless and smooth when cutting.
- 5.5” is a Medium-weight scissor (45g - 55g).

Return policy
We like to keep things simple and as easy for our customers as possible as their satisfaction is our highest priority and we pride ourselves on the Service we offer.
We understand that choosing new scissors can be difficult and sometimes they may not feel as comfortable as hoped, either not suiting your hand or cutting style; which is why we have a Return Policy that protects both you the Customer and us Akito Scissors.
We offer our customers a 14 Day Acclimatisation Period ensures you are fully satisfied with your decision and gives you time to trial & test the Scissors performance. During the 14 Day Acclimatisation Period you must notify us if you desire to return your purchase and you will then have a 3 Day Period within which to return the product. Once you dispatch the product you need to notify us by email confirming when it has been sent and the tracking information related to the order.

Refunds: We meticulously prepare, check and test our products before we send them to our customers; giving us full confidence in the immaculate condition that you receive the product in. We therefore have requirements in place if you wish to receive a Full Refund: in order to qualify for a Full Refund you must return the Item exactly as it was received, completely new, in its original packaging with proof of purchase and not one single bit of damage.
* In the case that the above requirements are not met then we will not be able to offer a Full Refund; this means that there is damage of some sort on the Scissor. If the damage to the Scissor is preventing it from cutting or performing optimally, we will then attempt to rectify, returning them to working order which in some cases, depending on the type of the damage (cosmetic or blade) , maybe impossible. Once this process has been optimally concluded we will then return the product to the customer with no refund.
