Who Uses Authentic Japanese Shears?

TOMONO YOSHIKUNI made the first hairdressing scissors in Japan in 1872. MICHIKO®, the best authentic Japanese scissors made with Japanese craftmanship passed down through 150 years of tradition, insists on the world's best quality with unremitting efforts and sincerity. Hairstylists and barbers use MICHIKO® in salons and barbershops in Manhattan, Boston, and small towns in Florida. Everyday bliss they enjoy in their hands is priceless.

ALL-ROUND SERIES: NIGATA 6.0

I love how NIGATA 6.0" scissors are so versatile. They are extremely sharp to cut a perfectly straight line, making a clean and precise cut. Amazingly smooth to glide through wet and dry hair when slide cutting. I am so happy working with this beauty.

BLUNT SERIES: NEKO 6.0

I really like the way NEKO 6.0 feels in my hand. I like the weight of them and the cutting edge is superior. There is no need to worry about smooth and clean cuts such as one-length, square, and gradient cuts. They give comfort and satisfaction to everyday basic cuts. NEKO 6.0 is the one I use the most.

SLIDE SERIES: MONA 6.2

I'm obsessed with MONA 6.2. I always use them for slide cutting. The wide blades with a sharp edge glide through the hair smoothly and quickly. I love that they are a versatile blade, perfect for wet or dry cutting! Highly recommend.

TEXTURIZER SERIES: MAGIC T1010

I clearly remember the first time I used the MAGIC T1010. My colleague let me use his, and I was shocked at how smoothly they cut a large chunk of hair. I was so impressed and purchased mine right away. They are great for all texturizing techniques, and above all, blending a natural outline is the biggest attraction.

THINNER SERIES: NIGATA T302

The NIGATA T302 thinner is awesome. They just give the right amount of texture. The teeth have slight graduation, so you never see a straight line. Perfectly blending and cut with no drags. The best thinning shears I've ever used.

BARBERING SERIES: CAPTAIN 7.0

Captain 7.0" fits comfortably in my large hands. Useful for scissors over comb and detailing types of line work easy and precise.

PAINKILLER SERIES: SENSE 5.75

What motivated me to love SENSE 5.75 is clear. I've struggled with Couple Tunnel Syndrome over the past few years, and meeting PAINKILLER has been a special blessing. I've never used SWIVEL scissors, but I got used to it shortly. Thanks to the flexible thumb ring function, it can protect my wrist from pain. The most satisfying point is that the cut feels incredibly soft with the best quality of the scissors.

TUNGSTEN SERIES: TN600

It was the first time I knew there were tungsten carbide hair scissors. These scissors were a gift for me, who worked hard. The unique tungsten carbide cutting edge provides effortless yet accurate cuts through dry hair. TN600 is my favorite dry-cut scissors.
