Whilst on stage, Simon is very ‘hands on’ while undertaking demonstrations and so has become a huge fan of pouches from ROO Salon, the UK’s leading funky hairdressing and beauty accessory company, as they allow him to keep all his tools permanently close at hand.

Simon said, “I was intrigued when I was asked by Roo Salon to wear their pouches on the Wahl stage at Salon International three years ago. Since then, they have become my favourite to wear on stage, as they are a bespoke design that is really funky and full of colour.” He added, “These pouches are really comfortable and are very useful for storing all my tools in during a presentation.”

ROO Salon’s Managing Director Kevin Nicholls said, “Simon is highly motivational and is known for his innovative and fun approach to hairdressing and education which mirrors our own brand philosophy of producing the best professional products that are also innovative and fun.”

SENSEI SCISSORS NOW AVAILABLE IN THE UK

Filed under: Product News — June 22, 2009

Huge US scissor brand, SENSEI was born from a desire to create a higher standard, but with a philosophy to prove that you don’t always have to spend the most to get the best.

Leading funky hair and beauty accessory company ROO Salon are pleased to announce they are the new distributor behind this great brand.

Their fabulous range now includes the SENSEI REVO, a powerful new revolution in scissor design. With blades hand forged in Japan and crafted from cryogenically tempered Cobalt Molybdenum Alloy, which keeps steel molecules in closer proximity for a more consistent structure delivering optimum performance whilst offering 40% more durability.

All SENSEI scissors come with an expertly refined leaf‐spring tension system but the REVO takes this to a whole new level, incorporating a sealed ring of ball bearings instead of a nylon washer to increase the smoothness and durability of the tension system. Plus the REVO comes with a Teflon insert at the pivot to eliminate metal to metal wear in this key contact point. SENSEI created the first high quality rotating thumb scissor and now the REVO has moved this into a new dimension by removing the knob hanging off the thumb ring and replacing it with a recessed sealed ring of ball bearings into the handle itself, creating the smoothest and most durable rotating thumb ever.

Every pair of Sensei scissors have been developed with a state of the art convex edge design to allow for silky smooth slide cutting and thanks to the REVO’s extreme crane handle, the stylists elbow is kept in an ergonomic down position to reduce and eliminate repetitive stress injuries and the infamous ‘cutters cramp’.
RRP ‐ £285.68 – Available in 5.25”, 5.75” & 6.25”

Alongside this launch ROO will also be introducing of a new collection of scissors entitled ROO BY SENSEI ‐ the perfect combination of quality, performance and state of the art ergonomic design. The ROO BY SENSEI consists of high performance scissors featuring crane handles with an anatomic thumb hold. This crane handle allow the stylist to work with their elbow down and wrist straight, giving a more comfortable body position, whilst the anatomic thumb hold is slightly bent to permit the thumb to lay alongside the hole instead of having to put the thumb perpendicular, even when point cutting.

Made from Japanese Duralite Alloy™ and housing a leaf spring tension system, ROO BY SENSEI have super sharp, high performance convex edges that allow for smooth slide cutting and effortless blunt cutting.
To mark the launch, ROO Salon is giving away 5 x ROO BY SENSEI scissors worth over £1000.00 (£225.00 each) to 5 lucky winners*. To register, just log on to http://www.roosalon.com/page.php/roo-by-sensei-competition and follow the link.
