Collection: Professional Scissors Pouches, Cases & Holsters

For hair cutting professionals, hairdressing cases, holsters & pouches keep your beautiful hairdressing shears warm, cozy, and safe during the cold winter months. To hairdressers Scissors are the extensions of your hands, a paintbrush for a simple trim or a completely new style (restyle), every hairdresser and barber needs the best scissors! Not only are the best scissors needed, but they also require protection and practical storage, this is where the premium leather products come into play.

For experienced professional barbers and hairdressers, one of the most overlooked aspects of scissors purchases is the protective measure to keep these scissors sharp and safe all year round. Scissors sheaths (e.g. pouches, cases, holster, etc.) are extremely important as they protect your excellent cutting edge from the elements of nature! Leather is a traditional material used for many cutting edges, be it knives, swords, arrowheads, and our much loved Japanese cutting shears. There are many good aspects to the leather scissors pouches, it looks aesthetic, welcomes your hands with a lovely feeling, and smells pleasing… giving that symbolism of cowboys and ruggedness.

However, while those all sound great, from a practical point of view, leather won’t damage your expensive scissors and scratch the valuable blade! Leather is slightly flexible, whereas other materials such as fake leather (pleather ) are very flexible allowing the blade to rattle around in the sheath a lot more. On a busy day when you are running back and forward with your scissors holster equip, this is the last thing you want for your blades! Therefore, your scissors will hardly move inside a leather scissors holster and it won’t affect the sharpness of the blade. Some additional benefits are the reduction of noise caused by the firmness of leather, while plastic scissors holsters clang and clash your scissors together, leather is smooth and quiet all day long, this like many other reasons is why hunters prefer it for their knives too! Got to be able to sneak out the back during a haircut and have some more coffee to keep you going ;).

There is one caveat to leather and that is it needs to be maintained like your hairdressing scissors! Much like the move gremlins avoid excessive exposure to water and don’t allow your cowhide to sit in the sun for long periods of time otherwise it will dry out and crack. Follow these simple steps and apply a leather conditioner or cream moisturizes every 6 - 12 months and you are golden!

A well-maintained leather scissors holster should last a lifetime if treated with care and respect, much like a good pair of shears. Much like our skin, Leather moisturizers are great at preventing drying-out/cracking and are to be gently rubbed into the leather-like you would your own hands. The leather scissors holster will soak up the moisturizing agent making this invaluable tool fit and healthy all year round.

At Japan Scissors we try to make the process of choosing a new leather case, holster, or pouch a lot easier with our collection of premium quality genuine leather hide. We avoid pleather materials and focus only on the materials our ancestors would have used, not only is it better for the environment unlike synthetics, it looks amazing!
