ABOUT ARISTO

The Founder Story
A vision becomes reality
In 2010, Mike Isaakidis, a multi-award-winning and the youngest self-employed master hairdresser at just 21 years old from Hamburg, launched the first aristoCUT scissors to the market.
His intention & vision was clear: quality should be affordable for everyone. As an active hairdresser, Mike knew the challenges of the craft firsthand – high-quality scissors were often either unaffordable or of inferior quality.
With ARISTO (formerly aristoCUT), he created a brand that closes this gap: professional hair cutting scissors that impress in both quality and price.
“I wanted to create scissors that hairdressers will love –
without having to spend their entire budget.”
— Mike Isaakidis, Founder

Innovation from the Hanseatic city
Hamburg is not only the home of our founder – the Hanseatic city is a hub of creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation.
From here, we develop our scissors in close collaboration with hairdressers from around the world. The maritime tradition of trade merges with modern design thinking.
Quality control: Every single ARISTO scissor is individually inspected before delivery – a promise of quality we have upheld since day one.
