Choose a Sensei Shear by Cutting Technique
Different haircutting techniques require different tools. Explore Sensei professional shears based on the type of cutting, blending, or texture work you perform behind the chair.
Precision & Everyday Haircutting
For dependable wet and dry cutting with a traditional fixed handle, consider the Sensei FIT Series STR8 . The FIT handle is designed for a comfortable hand position while providing the familiar control many professionals prefer for everyday haircutting.
Rotating-Thumb Haircutting
Professionals who prefer additional thumb movement can choose the Sensei FIT Rotation or the Sensei SWIVL STR8 . Both provide rotating-thumb options for professionals who move through multiple cutting positions during the workday.
Seamless Blending & Weight Removal
For soft blending and controlled weight removal, explore the Sensei FIT 23 Teeth Seamless Blender or the rotating-thumb Sensei SWIVL 23 Teeth Seamless Blender . These tools are designed to remove weight while creating a soft, blended result without obvious cutting lines.
Broken Texture & Soft Weight Removal
The Sensei SWIVL Multi Texture is designed for creating broken texture while simultaneously softening and removing weight within the haircut.
Controlled Point-Cut Style Texture
The Sensei SWIVL 14 Teeth Texturizer creates separation and negative space with a softer, more controlled texture result.
Maximum Texture & Separation
For a stronger texture effect, the Sensei SWIVL 10 Teeth Texture creates more pronounced separation and negative space and is a more aggressive texture option than the 14-tooth model.
