About us
Forbici TOUCH is an Italian brand of professional scissors for hairdressers and barbers, based in Sondrio. It was founded in 2012 by a group of hairdressers who wanted tools worthy of their work: Japanese steel scissors, chosen and recommended by people who use them every day in the salon. Today we sell online in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the rest of Europe, with a website in 8 languages.
Our story
In 2012 a group of hairdressers, tired of scissors that lost their edge too soon or strained the wrist, decided to design their own line. That is how TOUCH was born: scissors made by hairdressers for hairdressers, designed around the real gestures of cutting, from point cutting to slide cutting, from scissor over comb to thinning.
What we do
We design and sell professional hair-cutting scissors, chosen by function:
- Cutting scissors from 5.5 to 7 inches (TL PRO, TK MASTER, TU ELITE, TSS68 ELITE), with a straight fine-point or sword blade and a straight or offset handle.
- Barber scissors TS7 PRO, 7 inches, for scissor over comb and fades.
- Thinning and texturizing shears (TEU630 PRO, TUX625 ELITE double-tooth, DENTATA FLOW), to remove weight, blend and texturize.
- PRO kits built by function: Kit Taglio PRO, Kit Barber PRO and Kit Salone PRO.
- Sintesi, the handmade magnetic wooden scissor holder, for 2, 3 or 4 scissors.
We use professional-grade Japanese steel, with a ball bearing and micrometric tension adjustment.
