Jay 2
- Price: Between $100 to 150 Per Jay2 Pair
- Sizes: 5.5” and 6”
- Types: Cutting and Thinning and Sets
- Steel: German Stainless Steel
- Rating: ★★★
- Review: “The Jay2 Scissors are great for their price and mostly purchased for training, apprentices and backup pairs. They cut sharp, but the Jay2 shears will need to be sharpened quite often by an Australian Sharpener, and the weight of these make them difficult to use for long periods of time. We give this a 3/5 stars and recommend the Jay2 scissors for casual use.”

The most common blade for the Jaguar Silver Line scissors are the Convex Edge blade that is extremely sharp due to the Molybdenum steel. They focus on Crane and Offset ergonomics and are the best value for money when it comes to German Hairdressing Scissors. The most popular pairs are the CJ4 Offset hair cutting scissors and these will last for many years to come. We give these a 4/5 stars due their sharp cutting edges, quality steel and being the first entry models to professional hairdressing and barber shears.”

- Rating: ★★★½
- Review: “The Gold Line Scissors are famous for the Diamond and Xenox hair cutting scissors. These use the super hard Vanadium steel with convex edge blades that make for the best hair cutting experience for hairdressers and barbers in Australia. When you go for a pair of hairdressing scissors valued over $500, then you will expect the best. The offset ergonomics and lightweight design gives hairdresser a pair of scissors unlike any other. We have compared these to the White Line and Silver Line, and for the price point, we can’t see too many differences from the Silver Line. For the high quality cuts, durable and ergonomic design, we favour these, but we are going to give these 3.5/5 stars due to their high price point with minimal additional benefits past the Silver Line.”

You would almost feel guilty to use these and they are a piece of art. With the high price point for MC Steel, Euro Tech and Synergy models, we give these 4/5 stars rating. These are what the Gold Line should have been at the rough price of $600-800.”

Your Source for Jaguar Hairdressing Shears
If you are looking for affordable German hair cutting shears that do not compromise quality, Jaguar is your brand! Here at Scissor Hub, we carry the best selection of Jaguar scissors and have been Australia’s leading source for German hair cutting scissors for years.
Are Jaguar Shears Good?
Yes! These German-made hair cutting shears are made with blades that have long-lasting sharpness and solid hardness. They are one of the most popular German shears and have gained a reputation for consistency and sharp cuts.
Why is the Ergonomic Design Important?
After a long day of standing and cutting hair, the neck, arms and back may be tight and stiff. These professional hair cutting scissors have an ergonomic design that keeps the arms, neck and shoulder muscles relaxed when cutting, giving every hairstylist a better experience!
Tips for Cleaning Your Jaguar Scissors
When you purchase new scissors, you may treat them extra special! But, it is important to continue to care for them, treat them gently and keep them properly cleaned and maintained even after the novelty of them being new wears off.
Jaguar scissors may be more affordable than other German brands, but they are an investment and if you take proper care of them, they will last a long time! It is important to keep your Jaguar scissors clean between cuts, even on the busiest days. Use a soft cloth to wipe away hair and product and your scissors will stay sharper, longer.
Daily Oil Can Help Preserve Your Jaguar Shears
Some people say you should oil hair cutting scissors weekly or even monthly. But we have found that if you place a drop of hair cutting oil in the front and behind the fulcrum, after you clean them and open and close the blades, this will remove any tiny pieces of hair or buildup and keep them lasting longer.
By doing this extra step at the end of each workday, you will preserve the scissors, keep them sharp and cutting at their best!
Protect Your Jaguar Scissors!
There are a few things you can do to protect your scissors and keep them cutting at their best. One of the more obvious things is to treat them kindly. This means setting them down gently instead of tossing them around. When you toss them onto the counter, the blades can move out of alignment which will prevent them from cutting straight.
It is also important to store them in their own case separate from other tools and scissors to prevent them from chipping or banging around with other tools.
