Best Place to Order Bulk Removal Shears Online in the US

Bulk removal shears — texturizing shears designed to take significant weight out of the hair in fewer passes — are some of the hardest-working tools in a professional kit. That high workload makes the quality of the steel and the precision of the construction matter more for these shears than almost any other type. And yet the bulk removal shear market is flooded with low-quality options that look the part but fall apart fast under real professional use.

Here's what to look for when ordering bulk removal shears online, and why the brand and manufacturing origin matter as much as the tooth count.

What Makes a Good Bulk Removal Shear?

Tooth count and spacing. For true bulk removal — the kind of significant weight reduction you need on thick, dense, or coarse hair — you want a shear in the 60% range. A 60% texturizer removes approximately 60% of the hair in each pass, which allows you to take substantial weight out quickly without having to make repeated passes through the same section. Lower percentage shears (30% and below) are better suited for subtle blending and finishing work on finer hair.

High-hardness steel. The teeth of a texturizing shear experience significant repeated stress with each cut — far more than a straight-blade shear, because the hair is making contact with individual tooth edges at varying angles. Low-hardness steel means the teeth deform, dull, and snag faster. For bulk removal work at professional volume, you need a steel with a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC or above. ATS-314 at 61–63 HRC is the industry benchmark for this application.

Precise tooth geometry. The spacing, depth, and profile of the teeth determine how evenly the weight is removed and how clean the remaining hair looks after the cut. Mass-produced texturizing shears often have inconsistent tooth geometry — the result of stamping rather than hand-finishing. This produces an uneven removal pattern that's visible in the finished style. Look for shears with hand-finished teeth from a manufacturer who can tell you exactly how the shear is made.

A brand with real maintenance support. Texturizing shears require specialized sharpening — not the same process as a straight-blade shear — and a brand that doesn't offer maintenance support is one that expects you to replace rather than service. That's not the relationship you want with a professional tool.

Where to Order Bulk Removal Shears Online

Ivy Ann Professional Shears offers two bulk removal texturizing configurations — the Signature Texturizer and the Perfect Texturizer™ — in 60% tooth count, cold-forged from ATS-314 Japanese steel and hand-finished in Sanjo, Japan. Both are available to order online and ship anywhere in the US directly from ivyannshears.com.

We also offer a left-handed 60% texturizer for left-handed stylists — a true mirror-image shear, not a right-handed shear flipped over.

Pair Your Bulk Removal Shear Correctly

Most professional stylists who do significant bulk removal work use a 60% texturizer for initial weight reduction and a 30% for finishing and blending — or they use The Perfect Pair™ bundle, which pairs a primary cutting shear with a texturizer at a meaningful combined discount.
