GUY TANG × PHOENIX RISING
IT STARTED WITH AN IDEA.
What happens when you give an artist the opportunity to rethink one of the most personal tools a hairstylist owns?
You don't start by asking how to make another pair of shears.
You ask what they could become.
That question helped bring Guy Tang and Phoenix Rising Shears together.
MORE THAN A NAME.
From the beginning, Phoenix Rising wasn't intended to be a celebrity name placed on an existing shear.
Guy became part of the creative process.
His artistic perspective helped influence the identity of the collection and the distinctive Phoenix-inspired handle… turning a professional tool into something that visually represents creativity, transformation and the courage to do things differently.
The details mattered.
The shape.
The feel.
The Phoenix.
The experience of holding something that didn't look like every other shear behind the chair.
The goal was to create something that felt unmistakably Phoenix Rising.
WHY GUY?
Guy Tang has never built his career around doing things the way they've always been done.
From his approach to hair color and education to the way he connects with hairstylists around the world, Guy has consistently encouraged artists to experiment, question convention and find their own creative voice.
That made the collaboration a natural fit.
Phoenix Rising needed someone who understood that professional tools can be both functional and expressive.
Someone who sees a shear not simply as equipment but as an extension of the artist.
THE PHOENIX
The Phoenix became the defining visual element of the collection.
More than decoration, it represents the philosophy behind what Guy and Phoenix Rising wanted to create:
Transformation. Reinvention. Evolution.
The sculpted Phoenix-inspired handle gives the collection an identity you can recognize before you ever see the name.
It's bold.
It's unconventional.
And that is exactly the point.
BUILT THROUGH COLLABORATION.
Creating Phoenix Rising became a process of ideas, prototypes, conversations and refinement.
Details were questioned.
Designs evolved.
Changes were made.
Because the goal wasn't simply to get a product finished.
The goal was to get it right.
The result is a collection that brings together Guy's artistic vision with decades of professional experience behind the chair and a shared belief that hairstylists deserve tools created with the same imagination they bring to their own work.
DESIGNED WITH AN ARTIST.
MADE FOR ARTISTS.
