Where to buy TRACKS
TRACKS is a comparative newcomer, founded in 2016, but its address tells you a lot about the ambition. The company sits in Kita-Aoyama in Minato-ku, in the Aoyama-Omotesando beauty district, surrounded by some of Tokyo’s most demanding salons. The brand’s argument is that being in that crowd forces it to compete on how the scissors actually cut, not on a famous name, because the stylists next door will notice the difference.
A three-month build
The headline manufacturing claim is the time. Each pair takes roughly three months to go from raw blade steel to finished tool, and the process deliberately mixes machine and hand. CNC shaping brings the blade to a stated 1/1000mm precision, after which craftsmen take over. Final sharpening is set by feel, with the blade angle adjusted by hand to suit the technique the pair is built for. A separate hammering step corrects subtle distortions in the blade, which is delicate work, and every finished pair gets a final check against its intended cut. There’s also a construction wrinkle: blade and handle are made from different metals and welded, which asks for skill at the thin join.
All of that hand attention lands TRACKS in the premium band, roughly $400 to $800, which is fair for the labour involved.
Range and buying
The catalogue runs across cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed models, with named lines like DIA, ULTRA, SASA, and CURVE. Between them they cover dry, chop, slide, and stroke cutting plus several blunt-cut variations and volume control in the 18 to 25 percent range. Because each model is tuned to a specific technique, it pays to buy by the job rather than grabbing a do-everything pair.
Sales run through the TRACKS website and the Refun online store. More Tokyo makers are in the Japan directory.
