✂️ Blade Design & Performance

Unlike standard dry cutting shears that rely on a combination of sharp edges and wider blades, the Mako features a fully micro-serrated tooth pattern that grips each hair precisely where it lands. This prevents pushing, bending, or shifting — a common struggle when dry cutting thick or coarse textures.

The Mako’s serrations make it ideal for:

• ✓ Visual and sculptural dry cutting
• ✓ Removing bulk with precision
• ✓ Creating directional movement
• ✓ Cutting curly, coarse, or resistant hair

As part of the Craft Series shears, the Mako delivers premium value with high-end performance — built for serious stylists who rely on consistent results and clean lines.

FAQ

What makes the Mako different from regular dry cutting shears?

The Mako features fully serrated micro-serrations across the entire blade, offering unmatched grip and control during dry cutting, especially on dense or textured hair.

Can I use this shear on wet hair?

It is designed specifically for dry cutting. While occasional wet use won’t damage it, for best results and longevity, keep it dedicated to dry cutting only.

Does it pull or snag hair?

No — the micro-serrations grip the section cleanly without tugging, allowing smooth, intentional dry cutting.

Is this good for coarse or curly hair?

Absolutely. The serrated blade is ideal for coarse, curly, or stubborn textures that normally push or slip when cut dry.

What shears should I pair with the Mako?

Pair it with texturizing shears for blending and cutting shears for foundational work.

Can I try other shears before upgrading my full kit?

Yes — our shear subscription box makes it easy to explore affordable backup and rotation options alongside premium Craft Series tools like the Mako.
