Hattori Hanzo Shears offers \u201ctry before you buy\u201d program for shears and a diverse spectrum of education from master stylists<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most stylists and barbers would agree that not every shear is created equal, Hattori Hanzo Shears is dedicated to making sure that every level of stylist has a shear that they can use. \u201cFrom shears geared toward students and entry-level stylists, all the way up to our new high-end HHP Pai Mei,\u201d said Hattori Hanzo Shears Creative Director Torrey Loomis, \u201cthere\u2019s a Hattori Hanzo shear out there for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he\u2019s not kidding. Their website is\u00a0brimming<\/em> with shears. You can sort through a number of search filters to find the exact shear you need. Stylists are also able to test drive a pair for 15 days before they buy, making the investment in a good pair of shears an easier decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don\u2019t stop at manufacturing shears either; they also sharpen them\u2013and not just their own brand. \u201cWe sharpen more shears per month than all the other shear brands combined,\u201d Loomis said. \u201cThe caliber and quality of our sharpening team is second to none\u2014and that applies across the board, regardless of manufacturer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final piece that makes Hattori Hanzo Shears stand out is their education program. Working with amazingly talented artists like Oscar Bond, Presley Poe, Tara May, and Justin Thomas\u2014they have an instructor for just about any cut or style that you could imagine. \u201cWe platform agnostic when it comes to education,\u201d Loomis said. \u201cWe don\u2019t teach on a platform per se, but to the technique. Want a class on pixies? We have someone for that. How about advanced men\u2019s barbering? We have plenty of barbers to choose from.\u201d This method allows for a wide range of techniques to be shown on the same style. \u201cYou could even take a class on the same topic from two of our instructors and get a completely different class each time,\u201d said Loomis. \u201cYou\u2019ll walk away from one of classes having learned things you never knew before\u2014and you won\u2019t be able to wait for the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Hattori Hanzo Shears provides a holistic model when it comes to shears. They manufacture them, sharpen them, and educate stylists with them. They\u2019re so confident, that they\u2019ll even let you try them out for 15 days before you buy. When a brand is so focused on supporting the stylists that use their product, success seems obvious. \u201cOur success is only as successful as the success of our customers,\u201d Loomis said. \u201cAnd you can ask any Hanzo cutter and they\u2019ll tell you their work is\u00a0that\u00a0<\/em>much better because of Hattori Hanzo Shears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
