HARUTO

Haruto (하루토) is the house shear brand of Miss Lab (미스랩), a South Korean company based in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province. Miss Lab makes and sells the line itself — there’s no separate Haruto website to go hunting for — and points to a sales record north of 150,000 cumulative units, which for a maker most people outside Korea haven’t heard of is no small figure.

The range

The catalogue is laid out in three tiers, which is a tidy way to shop it. The Pro Line (currently the Haruto Pro 2nd Generation) is the everyday workhorse; a Master Line sits above it; and a Heritage line tops things off. Across the three you get blunt cutting shears, thinning and texturising scissors, longer-blade slicing and “long scissor” models, and magic-thinning options — a genuine spread of cutting and blending tools rather than a couple of token variants.

Steel and provenance

Miss Lab lists Haruto as its own production, and the published material describes the blades as V10 stainless. Take that grade label at face value with a little caution — the documentation is in-house rather than independently verified — but the maker is plainly Korean, so this reads as a Korean-based brand through and through.

Buying

Haruto sells through the Miss Lab storefront at misslab.kr, which runs on the Naver Pay platform, and it sits in the mid band, roughly 200 to 400 dollars. That storefront is the single authoritative source for current models, specs and pricing, so contact the retailer directly for ordering and after-sales questions.
