Links

Links is a small professional shear line that reaches stylists through Takano Canada, a specialty scissor retailer serving salons and barbers across the Canadian market. As with several lines in Takano’s catalogue, the retailer’s storefront is effectively the brand’s public face, which means it is also where you go for anything authoritative on specs and stock.

What’s on offer

The collection is short and to the point: three cutting shears, the LS-50, LS-55, and LS-60, distinguished mainly by blade length. They list at roughly 399 to 409 dollars CAD, which puts the line in the mid-range bracket, around 200 to 400 dollars. Beyond the model numbers and pricing, the published detail runs out fast. No manufacturer, steel grade, or country of origin appears in the sources we have, so we are not going to guess at any of it.

That makes Links a fair option for a working stylist or barber who wants a straightforward mid-range pair from a known Canadian stockist, with the understanding that you are buying on feel and the retailer’s reputation rather than a published spec sheet. The three-model range keeps the choice simple, essentially down to the blade length that suits your hand and the way you cut, and a specialist like Takano is well placed to answer questions before you commit. If you cut with Links and can add to the record, reach out through our contact page. For more of the field, see the brands directory.
