Collection: iCandy DREAM Legacy Collection | 2013–2022

✨ The iCandy DREAM Legacy Story — 2013–2022

The iCandy DREAM Collection was one of iCandy Scissors Australia's longest-running professional scissor families, first introduced in 2013 and developed across a decade of cutting, thinning, colour, ergonomic and design evolution before production concluded in 2022.

DREAM became an important part of iCandy's early development of professional hairdressing scissors, evolving from its distinctive Pink Rainbow colour treatment and ornate Rose Pattern Handle Design into a broad professional cutting system spanning cutting scissors, thinning scissors, coordinated bundles, multiple sizes, Mirror and Midnight finishes, swivel-thumb ergonomics, dedicated left-handed configurations and, from 2016, an extensive Rose Gold generation.

One of the most recognisable elements of the DREAM identity was its distinctive rose-pattern handle detailing. Visible on the original DREAM generation from 2013, the decorative floral motif became a recurring visual signature as the collection developed across different finishes and professional configurations.

2013 — The Original DREAM Generation

The original iCandy DREAM Collection was introduced in 2013 with the distinctive Pink Rainbow colour treatment and ornate Rose Pattern Handle Design that became closely associated with the DREAM identity.

Rather than relying on colour alone, DREAM combined its distinctive visual treatment with a professional cutting platform. Cutting and thinning scissors were developed as complementary tools, helping establish the coordinated professional system approach that would become increasingly important as the collection expanded.

The DREAM Rose Pattern Handle Design — A Defining Signature Since 2013

Among the most identifiable visual characteristics of the original DREAM Collection was its distinctive Rose Pattern Handle Design.

The ornate floral detailing was incorporated directly into the DREAM handle design, extending through the handle and around the finger-ring area rather than being treated simply as a colour variation. Combined with the Pink Rainbow finish of the original generation, it gave DREAM an immediately recognisable visual identity when the collection was introduced in 2013.

As DREAM developed, the rose-pattern design language continued across different generations and finishes. The distinctive handle detailing can be seen through the collection's evolution from the original Pink Rainbow generation into later Mirror, Midnight and Rose Gold configurations.

This is an important distinction in the history of DREAM. The rose motif was not created for a single later colour release. It formed part of the collection's established design identity while iCandy continued to develop the professional cutting, thinning and ergonomic configurations built around it.

4 July 2015 — DREAM Rose Pattern Handle Documented on Video

On 4 July 2015, iCandy published video footage of the DREAM Professional Hairdressing Scissors, providing a further dated visual record of the collection's distinctive Rose Pattern Handle Design.

The video clearly shows the ornate floral detailing incorporated throughout the DREAM handle, including the patterned sections around the finger rings and finger-rest area. The footage provides a close visual record of the distinctive handle treatment as an established feature of the DREAM design during its original commercial era.

This dated video provides additional first-party visual evidence between the original DREAM generation introduced in 2013 and the independent May/June 2016 INSTYLE magazine feature that subsequently described the DREAM Professional Series as having rose-engraved handles.

By May/June 2016, the feature had therefore also been documented independently by Australian professional hair industry publication INSTYLE magazine, providing contemporary third-party recognition of the distinctive handle treatment.

Together, the original iCandy imagery from 2013, dated iCandy video footage from July 2015 and contemporary industry editorial from 2016 provide a chronological historical record of the rose-pattern handle as a defining feature of the DREAM professional scissor platform during its original commercial era.

DREAM Develops into a Complete Professional Cutting System

As the range evolved, DREAM expanded well beyond its original cutting scissor while retaining the distinctive design language established by the early collection.

Historical iCandy product records document the DREAM platform across:

• professional cutting scissors
• dedicated thinning scissors
• coordinated cutting and thinning bundles
• 5.5 and 6.0 inch cutting configurations
• right-handed and left-handed models
• conventional and swivel-thumb ergonomics
• multiple professional colour finishes
• the distinctive DREAM rose-pattern handle identity
• later tension-system refinements

Rather than being a single decorative scissor, DREAM became one of iCandy's early complete professional cutting systems, allowing hairdressers to combine complementary cutting and thinning tools while selecting different sizes, finishes, handedness and ergonomic configurations.

This coordinated cutting-and-thinning philosophy continues in today's professional iCandy scissor and thinner systems.

2016 — DREAM Expands Across Multiple Professional Finishes

By 2016, DREAM had evolved significantly from the original 2013 Pink Rainbow generation while retaining the distinctive visual characteristics associated with the DREAM platform.

The professional series had expanded across Pink Rainbow, Mirror and Midnight finishes, with cutting and thinning models presented as coordinated systems rather than isolated colour variations.

Independent Industry Editorial — INSTYLE Magazine

This development was documented outside iCandy's own channels in the May/June 2016 issue of INSTYLE magazine, an Australian professional hair industry publication.

May/June 2016 — iCandy DREAM Professional Series featured in INSTYLE magazine, showing Pink Rainbow, Mirror and Midnight cutting and thinning scissors and documenting the collection's distinctive rose-engraved handle design.

Importantly, the published feature specifically described the professional series with its distinctive rose-engraved handles and ball-bearing tension system.

This contemporary industry editorial provides independent historical documentation that the rose-pattern handle was an established and identifiable feature of DREAM by 2016, while also showing that the collection had developed into a broader professional cutting and thinning platform across multiple finishes.

DREAM at Hair Expo Australia 2016 — Melbourne

The expanding DREAM professional system was presented by iCandy at Hair Expo Australia 2016 in Melbourne.

The event was held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from 11–13 June 2016. An independent historical event record confirms the dates and Melbourne venue for Hair Expo Australia 2016.

Hair Expo Australia 2016, Melbourne — iCandy DREAM professional cutting and thinning scissors displayed across multiple finishes, illustrating the collection's distinctive design identity and its evolution into a coordinated professional cutting system rather than a single scissor design.

Together, the May/June 2016 INSTYLE editorial and the DREAM display at Hair Expo Australia in Melbourne document a significant period in the collection's development, when the established rose-pattern handle design was being used across an increasingly diverse range of professional cutting and thinning configurations.

DREAM Mirror — Expanding Ergonomic Choice

The DREAM Mirror generation became an important part of the collection's ergonomic development while carrying the distinctive DREAM design language into a professional Mirror Silver finish.

Mirror models were produced across cutting and thinning configurations while the DREAM platform expanded into swivel-thumb ergonomics, providing professionals with increased thumb movement and an alternative cutting position.

DREAM Mirror subsequently expanded into dedicated left-handed configurations, including left-handed swivel cutting and thinning models. This further broadened the DREAM platform around different professional ergonomic requirements rather than relying on one universal handle configuration.

The development of these additional ergonomic formats demonstrates how iCandy adapted the DREAM concept around professional cutting requirements while maintaining a recognisable collection identity.

December 2016 — DREAM Rose Gold

In December 2016, iCandy introduced DREAM Rose Gold, bringing the established DREAM platform and its distinctive rose-inspired handle detailing into the continuing iCandy Rose Gold design story.

By this stage, Rose Gold had already been part of iCandy's professional scissor development since 2015. DREAM allowed the finish to expand into one of the brand's most configurable professional systems.

The combination was particularly distinctive: the established DREAM Rose Pattern Handle Design was now paired with a complete Rose Gold colour treatment, bringing together two separate elements of iCandy's developing design history.

Christmas 2016 — iCandy DREAM Rose Gold professional cutting and thinning scissor bundle, combining the established DREAM rose-pattern handle identity with iCandy's expanding Rose Gold professional scissor development.

The DREAM Rose Gold family developed across:

• cutting scissors
• thinning scissors
• cutting and thinning bundles
• conventional right-handed configurations
• swivel-thumb configurations
• dedicated left-handed models
• left-handed swivel configurations

2016 — iCandy DREAM Rose Gold Swivel cutting and thinning bundle, documenting the expansion of the Rose Gold system into swivel-thumb ergonomic configurations while preserving the recognisable DREAM design identity.

This breadth demonstrates that DREAM Rose Gold was not simply a single coloured scissor. It became a coordinated professional system spanning cutting application, handedness and ergonomic preference, while the distinctive rose-themed handle design remained an important part of the collection's visual character.

2017 — DREAM at Hair Expo Australia

By 2017, DREAM had become one of iCandy's most visually diverse professional scissor platforms, spanning Pink Rainbow, Mirror, Midnight and Rose Gold cutting and thinning configurations.

Across these different finishes and configurations, the ornate DREAM handle design provided a recognisable visual connection to the design language first seen on the original collection in 2013.

iCandy Scissors Australia was independently listed as an exhibitor at Hair Expo Australia 2017 at Stand E155, providing contemporary third-party evidence of iCandy's continued professional industry presence during this period.

This period demonstrates how far DREAM had progressed from its original 2013 introduction, developing into a long-running professional platform with multiple colour finishes, specialist thinning tools, ergonomic options, coordinated bundle configurations and a recognisable design identity established by its distinctive handle treatment.

2017–2022 — Continued DREAM Development

DREAM continued to evolve after its early colour, design and ergonomic expansion.

Later generations incorporated additional size options and tension-system refinements, including G-Screw configurations, while cutting, thinning, swivel and left-handed variants continued to broaden the historical DREAM product family.

Rather than remaining unchanged throughout its commercial life, DREAM was repeatedly refined and adapted as iCandy's professional product-development approach evolved.

The collection remained part of the iCandy product family through 2022, completing a product history spanning approximately a decade.

Across that period, DREAM evolved through changes in:

• colour and finish
• cutting size
• cutting and thinning configurations
• right-handed and left-handed design
• swivel-thumb ergonomics
• tension systems
• coordinated professional bundles
• variations built around the recognisable DREAM rose-pattern design identity

Although individual models and mechanical configurations changed over time, the historical collection demonstrates how a distinctive visual design could be developed alongside increasingly specialised professional cutting requirements.

2022 — From DREAM to ANGEL VG10

Production of the original DREAM Collection concluded in 2022, closing an important chapter in iCandy's professional scissor development.

In November 2022, iCandy introduced the ANGEL VG10 Collection, establishing a new professional cutting and thinning platform following the DREAM generation.

November 2022 — The original iCandy ANGEL VG10 Scissors Collection, marking the beginning of the ANGEL generation following the conclusion of the long-running DREAM Collection.

ANGEL represented a new professional platform rather than a reproduction of DREAM. It continued iCandy's development of coordinated cutting and thinning systems while establishing a new design identity and VG10 generation following the decade-long DREAM era.

---

July 2025 — ANGEL DREAM Carries the DREAM Heritage Forward

In July 2025, iCandy introduced the ANGEL DREAM Pink Diamante VG10 Scissors Bundle within the ANGEL VG10 Collection.

Its distinctive Pink & Golden Rainbow colour treatment and DREAM name were created as a deliberate modern nod to the original DREAM Collection and its Pink Rainbow heritage first introduced in 2013.

July 2025 — iCandy ANGEL DREAM Pink & Golden Rainbow VG10 cutting and thinning bundle, carrying the DREAM name and colour heritage forward within the modern ANGEL VG10 platform.

DREAM 2013–2022 → ANGEL VG10 November 2022 → ANGEL DREAM July 2025

ANGEL DREAM is not a reproduction of the original DREAM scissor or its original Rose Pattern Handle Design. It is a later professional VG10 generation that deliberately preserves part of DREAM's historical identity through its name and distinctive Pink & Golden Rainbow colour treatment.

Why the DREAM Rose Pattern Handle Design Matters

The DREAM story demonstrates that professional scissor design can involve more than blade geometry or colour alone.

From the original Pink Rainbow generation introduced in 2013, iCandy developed DREAM around both professional cutting functionality and a distinctive visual identity. The ornate rose-pattern handle detailing became one of the most recognisable elements of that identity.

Its significance is strengthened by the surviving chronology:

• 2013 — original iCandy DREAM imagery documents the Pink Rainbow cutting and thinning system with the distinctive Rose Pattern Handle Design.
• 4 July 2015 — original iCandy video footage provides a dated visual record of the DREAM professional hairdressing scissor and its ornate rose-pattern handle detailing.
• May/June 2016 — INSTYLE magazine independently describes the DREAM Professional Series with rose-engraved handles.
• 2016 — DREAM expands across Pink Rainbow, Mirror and Midnight professional cutting and thinning configurations.
• December 2016 — DREAM Rose Gold combines the established DREAM handle identity with iCandy's developing Rose Gold scissor lineage.
• 2017 onward — DREAM continues across multiple finishes, ergonomic systems, handedness configurations and professional bundles.

Together, these dated historical records establish the DREAM Rose Pattern Handle Design as an identifiable part of iCandy's professional scissor design history rather than an isolated decorative treatment.

Why the DREAM Legacy Collection Remains Online

Production of the original DREAM Collection has ended and the historical DREAM models preserved within this Legacy Collection are permanently sold out unless specifically identified as remaining genuine legacy stock.

These pages remain publicly accessible as part of the iCandy Scissors Legacy Archive so that customers, professional hairdressers, collectors and industry researchers can explore the development, original specifications, colour evolution, professional configurations and distinctive design elements of an important iCandy collection spanning 2013 through 2022.

Preserving DREAM also provides a dated public record of important historical iCandy design features—including the original Pink Rainbow treatment, Rose Pattern Handle Design, coordinated cutting and thinning system, Rose Gold generation and ergonomic development—while documenting how the collection changed across approximately a decade of professional use.

This historical record helps document the wider product-development history of iCandy Scissors Australia and shows how concepts established through earlier professional cutting systems can influence later generations rather than simply disappearing when production ends.
