Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Are the Saiko Shears built for professional barbers and stylists?
Yes. The Saiko Shears are approved by over 40,000 barbers and hairstylists. Fagaci has seven years of experience and has served more than 350,000 satisfied professionals and home users. Each pair goes through a 100% quality-tested craftsmanship process — steel selection, precision forging, and performance testing — before leaving production. Professional stylists with decades of experience consistently rate them alongside shears costing several times more.
What makes Japanese Hitachi 440C steel different from standard 440C?
Japanese Hitachi 440C has a higher carbon content than standard 440C steel, which translates to superior hardness, greater edge retention, and longer-term reliability. The blade stays sharper for longer between professional sharpenings, and the higher carbon content makes the steel more resistant to wear under heavy daily use. Hitachi steel is specifically celebrated in the shears industry for this combination of quality and durability.
What does the convex edge deliver that other grinds don't?
A convex edge curves outward on the cutting face, creating a razor-sharp surface with minimal resistance. Unlike hollow-ground or beveled edges, convex edges slice through hair rather than pushing through it — resulting in zero pulling, zero split ends, and no hair damage. The Saiko's convex edge combined with Hitachi steel produces surgical-grade precision cuts that maintain their sharpness through extensive professional use.
Which size should I choose?
The 4.5" is the lightest at 1.3 oz — best for detailed precision cuts, bangs, and point work with smaller hands. The 5" is ideal for precision cutting and fine detail work. The 5.5" is the most versatile all-around size for professional barbers and stylists cutting a full range of styles. The 6" suits barbers who prefer a longer blade for bulk cuts, blending, and slide cutting. When in doubt, 5.5" is the safest starting point.
Do they cut well on wet and dry hair?
Yes. Multiple professional stylists have confirmed the Saiko Shears perform equally well on wet and dry hair. The Hitachi steel and convex edge geometry maintain consistent cutting performance regardless of moisture — important for barbers who work in both wet-cut and dry-cut workflows.
How do the comfort rings and tension key work?
The two black rubber comfort rings insert into the finger holes to reduce the interior diameter — ideal for smaller hands or barbers who prefer a snug fit. They're fully removable for larger hands. Use the included tension key to adjust the pivot screw tighter for more control with thick hair, or looser for faster, lighter motion with fine hair. The shears arrive pre-set at optimal tension with a setup card enclosed.
How do I care for and maintain the blades?
Wipe the blades after every use with the included cleaning cloth. Apply a drop of shear oil to the pivot periodically to maintain smooth motion. Store in the leather case to protect the convex edge from impact damage. The higher carbon Hitachi steel is corrosion resistant, but wiping dry after water or product contact extends blade life. The replacement bumpers in the box can be swapped in as the originals wear.
What's in the box and what warranty do I get?
In the box: Fagaci Saiko Shears (in your chosen size), leather storage case, cleaning cloth, adjustable tension key, 2 removable comfort rings, and replacement bumpers. Every pair is covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
