Designed with a wide leaf-shaped blade, the Umi 6" excels at dry cutting, carving, slicing, and point work. It’s the go-to tool for stylists who want soft movement and effortless separation without creating hard lines.
While not ideal for ultra-precise line work (the blade may push hair during detail cutting), Umi shines when used for softening, shaping, and finishing — especially on dry hair.
Handcrafted from 440C high-carbon steel, this shear offers a smooth, controlled feel and excellent edge retention for creative, texture-driven work.
