What Makes
a Great Shear?
A great shear should feel good in your hand, stay sharp, and hold up over time to the rigors of cutting hair. Sounds simple, right? But few shears meet these standards.
Discover what makes Sam Villa® Essential Series Shears the best of its kind.
Stays Sharper Longer
The shear world is split into two major players: German steel, known for its toughness and durability; and Japanese steel, known for its razor-sharp edge.
We wanted to create the best shear, which is why we developed a high-carbon Japanese steel featuring molybdenum alloy to create the ultimate hybrid.
The end result? A shear that stays incredibly sharp, but will also remain durable over the long haul.
Steel & Carbon Balance
Essential Series are constructed from 440C stainless steel - the highest grade of stainless alloy.
We utilize cryogenically tempered steel to improve the durability of the edge by up to 40%.
Our unique handle design combined with Japanese 440C stainless steel not only provides all-day comfort, but performance that can be seen and felt with each cut.
Essential Series Shear Features
SHARP CONVEX BLADES
The hollowed blade design produces razor-sharp cuts, no matter the hair type.
CRANE HANDLE DESIGN
The design of our handle reduces and often eliminates pain typically felt in your hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder.
Dual Finger Tangs
The two (dual) finger rest design helps to stabilize your guide blade, allowing for accurate and pain-free cuts.

Handcrafted Down
to the Smallest Detail
Your body is the most important and most fragile tool that you own. Protect it and your ability to do what you love with a shear that works with your body, not against it.
Sam and his team spent many months perfecting this shear design — from the handle and blade design, to the stabilizing dual finger tangs.
At every step along the way, our shear was hand-tested and refined by Sam and other trusted hair designers with many decades of experience. They went through many different prototypes until we knew we had created perfect shear.
The final result? A precision shear that’s not only affordable but is also comfortable to hold, easy to maneuver, sharp enough to cut through any hair type, and a blade that stays sharper longer.
Accessible
& Affordable
We could easily charge $550+ for our Essential Series Shears, like some other companies are doing. But we chose to make them affordable for all stylists.
By partnering closely with our factory and selling directly to you online, we’re able to offer incredible shears at affordable prices. Better materials, lower price, and maximum value are what we take seriously here at Sam Villa®.
