The Leaf x ARKIVE by ADAM REED Yellow Shatter Shear Has Landed!

As part of our mission to create the tools professional stylists love to use, Leaf has teamed up with iconic

hairdresser, educator and salon owner Adam Reed to design the Limited Edition Yellow Shatter Shear. As

the embodiment of Adam’s unique cutting techniques, and his love of optimism and joy expressed

through hair, the Yellow Shatter Shear redefines effortless creativity to reveal natural beauty in every cut!

Created by Leaf Scissors with Adam Reed, the Leaf Limited Edition Yellow Shatter Shear brings

movement, separation and lived-in softness to every haircut.

More than a traditional texturising scissor, this creative cutting tool is designed to build texture

and softness from start to finish. A distinctive tooth pattern creates separation and movement rather

than simply removing weight, to give stylists greater freedom to create hair that feels effortless, tactile

and beautifully lived in.

More than just scissors – the magic of creativity

Adam Reed comments: “I’ve always believed that scissors are more than just tools – they’re part of a hairdresser’s identity. The discipline comes from mastering your craft, but the magic happens when you pick up a pair of scissors that feel completely natural. You smile, you trust your instincts, and every cut becomes personal. That’s when technique disappears into creativity, allowing you to create hair that’s unique to the person sitting in front of you.”

With a vivid yellow finish that reflects Adam’s love of optimism, creativity and joy, the Limited Edition Yellow Shatter Shear is an unmistakable statement tool that deserves a permanent place in your kit.

A collaboration built on time and trust

Reflecting on the collaboration between Leaf Scissors and ARKIVE By Adam Reed, Leaf Scissors Founder,

Steve McManus, comments: “Adam acted as a mentor for me when I was just 21 years old and he had a

massive impact on the career direction that I eventually took. To be able to create a tool with him and bring

together Leaf’s values and high quality with Adams pure creativity and enthusiasm for hair has been so

much fun. We’re really excited for 250 people to get their hands on this and create amazing hair every day!”
