I've been barbering for 5 years so far. In my opinion on average a good pair of shears can be about 80-120 dollars. There are some that excellent quality that are cheaper too you just have to know what look for.
so you just defined what a craftsman is. they aren't exclusive to japan and i don't understand why this is controversial. there are a wide range of craftsmen from all parts of the world in many different fields. they can charge that much because they can turn out higher quality products than mass manufacturers can.
@@kenshn22828 Naruto actually said Dattebayo which doesn't really mean anything. It is more of a emphasis word so they changed it to Believe it for the English Dub.
My mom cut hair in the late 80s. I remember her telling me she would spend big money on good scissors. She had a pair of scissors that cost $300 back then.
My favorite tools are the ones that are so simple, but crafted with the utmost effort and beauty. Something that will last many years and serve its function extremely well.
Also while attending beauty school there is usually a payment plan tailored to your affordably. This way you will have your exquisite shears once you have gained your exquisite skills.🎉😮🎉😊❤❤❤
Japanese water can cost upto 6000$ crafted specifically from a thousands of years old technique of dissolving glacier ice directly over a water bottle, much of water doesn't fall in the bottle directly and what remains only that is packaged.
Watched the whole video. Totally worth it if you're a professional who can afford it. They have maintained scissors from 50 years ago. It has proprietary technology for the screws and man-intensive labor for warping the metal, so that the pair don't scrape against each other. Only point of contact is the hair. This helps lessen sharpening, which one usually spend a day not making any money. They build it to fit your hand perfectly to lessen strain, which you need if you want to do that work for a very long time. You can spend more time improving your consistency and technique, than worrying with changes to, what is essentially, an extension of your hand. I would pay for a 3k ballpen if it's the last ballpen my grand daughter would use.
That's a hell of a way to put it. A tool like that is a literal lifetime investment - and relatively speaking the price isn't even that insane compared to how even cheaper shears run in the ~300-~1500 dollar range - heck some other brands also sell in the 3000 range. If it's anything like the difference between a cheap 20 dollar blender and a $500 Vita Mix, it is absolutely worth it.
Unfortunately pens are one of the most commonly lost/stolen items. So high quality and good engineering are not quite enough to get most people to spend thousands of dollars on one.
@@karezaalonso7110 You know it, Ain't no way a 3k ballpen isn't getting stolen haha. I'm just speaking in a figurative sense, where I would gladly pay big money for something that's more or less worth it.
When i first started cosmotolgy school...in 1985. I had a pair of shears the school gave us with our kit. We were told as we get more skilled we should find a pair that would be a better fit. I bought my first real good pair at a csometolgy convention i spent 50. bucks..lol As the years gone by i would spend upwards of 300 to 400 bucks for shears. One year i even won a pair of Japanese thinning shears 600. worth laser sharpened. Never needed sharpening since i got them. I would find the best shear sharpeners spend buck for them to be sharp. I would cringed if i dropped them n look up n down the blades for nicks. But,my gear are worth it.
No. The culture is VERY much geared from before elementary school towards quality. Doesn't matter what position you are, try to be the best at that job that has ever existed.
I’m not a stylist but I wear bangs and more than 40 years ago I invested in German shears that cost about $100. I sewed clothing and quilts even as a teenager so I appreciate good shears and since they are metal they last a lifetime. Quality shears keep their edge better and can be resharpened. The new lightweight style might be fine if you just need to cut twine, tape or paper, but they dull quickly and are soon tossed.
If the scissors are made out of metal, they WILL need sharpening. And, far sooner than a decade. It is so sad that people actually believe this nonsense.
It’s worth it for the stylists that service the super rich, they can use these scissors as marketing tools to up the price per cut. Kinda like salons nowadays all have a Dyson hair dryer on display to show how expensive and high end of a service you’re getting. Reality is, you can buy 25- 30 really good shears with that money, and maintenance cost a whole lot less too.
Where in the world would you get a standard pair of hair shears for “under $10”?? You can barely get a standard pair of normal scissors for that price, let alone hair shears. To those who don’t know, hair shears are not normal scissors. Their blades grip the hair strands so they don’t slide out of the scissors, like they do in a normal smooth edged pair of scissors.
I ordered a special scissors and apparently the person who's gonna make is still a child apprentice. It will take him another 50 years to master the skill and fulfill my order. So for now I'm dragging my very long hair until I get that scissor.
This is not accurate. I worked in an administrative capacity for hairstyling industry. Back in the 80s, there were stylists who would buy shears that cost hundreds of dollars.
@tra_stay_winning She said that most hair scissors cost ten dollars. The way she said it insinuated that other than these, most scissors are ten dollars. That's simply not true. There are several companies that manufacture scissors for haircutting and most of them cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.
@@1alayzziaAnd someone else in the comments mentioned it costs much more for hair shears anyway; and I’ve never seen many that were less than €50, with most pairs I’ve seen being between €60-100 at least.
Although I don't believe these shears should be compared to others. (Seems ridiculous), yet I would love a chance to try these German man's shears to see for myself if this is true. Also on that note: " can a pair of shears reach a point of too sharp???"

I think of Japan as the home of generations of artisan sentiment. The attention to detail, the focus, the discipline all amaze me. And I am a perfectionist by nature. I began to become aware of these traits very modestly. It started years ago when learning about sushi. The training, the years of apprenticeship, the mental discipline made me think, "What? To cut a piece of fish??" Then I looked closer and closer and saw more of what was going on. Remarkable. Those traits run strong in their society. I understand why their suicide rates are so high. Such high bars, so hard to strive for what must seem so impossible to many. 🙏🙏🙏 Respect to the people of Japan.
I was a hairdresser for 15 years. I used a pair of scissors that cost me a little over $800. Cheap scissors don't last long, but the one's that do cost a fortune.
Hairs grow back, you can easily afford to have them poorly cut every once in a while then to pay for the barber who owns these shears an obscene amount of money.
There are excellent Japanese hair scissors from other brands that'll work and last 90% as well for under $25. Perfectionism costs, and it's rarely worth it.
Over my entire career I spent hundreds of dollars for sheers that needed sharpening frequently... Their ergonomics we're not of the same standards either. If you're going to do something for decades, it makes sense to do it with the best tools. A woodworker, or any other craftsman would agree... 🤷🏻
At this point I’m pretty sure you can just about buy anything that’s made to perfection and is expensive and take years to master over there. Idk if that’s the best hustle ever or it really is a good quality item 🤷♀️
That’s the crazy mindset of overly focusing on something so trivial. The aim and goal are important. It should be well worth the time imo Sure it shows the quest for perfection and the drive etc, but spending 4000$ on shears? What is the market for that? How many in the world would buy that?
Sad that england with Sheffield in particular, a city that specialises in steel making like scissors and knives got tossed in the garbage because of deindustrialization
Let’s be honest. Standard professional hair shears does not cost $10. It cost a lot more than that.
😂 exactly

Do they cost close to $2000, though?
Honest question.
@@viktormuerte they EASILY range from low-end 300 to 800$

Yes, when we drop it. It can no longger cut the dame way
Could have it linked to chain to reduce the chance
@Pain9682 I'd rather them fall then swing from a chain or cord because if they fall open and start swinging something getting cut.
and here i thought it was a quality product
I thought Naruto wanted to be a Hokage? It's good that he decided to open a scissors company instead.
