The 3 Best Japanese Shears Brands are Hikari, Kasho & Kikui!

I love them all equally! Who am I to make this claim?

My name is Mike Johles. I own LA SHEAR since 1997 and these 3 brands have given their stylists a lifetime of Cutting Joy and they exceed their clients’ expectations.

I have been dealing with high end Japanese shears in the Los Angeles area for over 23 years. Los Angeles is one of the most competitive markets for hair stylists so the ones at the top want the best shears money can buy. I have personally had relationships with many of the same clients for over 20 years. My father Max Johles was a legend in the Business and my brother Aaron founded Ibiza Hair Brushes which I also work with also, so this is a Family Business. I consider all my clients as family and would only represent the best shears brands in the Industry.

All the three brands are available from LA SHEAR. Please contact me if you’re in LA and I’ll be happy to visit your salon and let you try a pair before you buy! If you are outside of LA, I have helped thousands of stylists connect with their perfect shears for themselves or a loved one over the phone.

Hikari, Kasho & Kikui brands are amazing! Let me give you some basic info on all of them. If you want to do some research, I have also included links to their websites and to videos I have created on LA SHEAR YouTube Channel. After you have done your due diligence, contact me to try a pair! Let’s meet & talk, a recovery drink is on me.

Hikari Is the # 1 Shear Brand in the Industry. Since 1969 they have revolutionized how shears have been made.

LA SHEAR has been an authorized Hikari™ dealer for 22 years

The biggest Names in the Industry sing Hikari’s praises. They are constantly pushing the envelope on New technology and old school craftsmanship, Recently, they have had a profound impact in the Industry with their Dry Cutting Shears which laser through dry as if its wet. Hikari Shears have a feel unlike any shear in the industry and that’s due to its design, scientific engineering & Japanese craftsmanship.

Hikari’s company is fueled by amazing hair artists & was founded by a Champion Stylists from Japan Some of the Biggest Icons in the Industry like Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell used Hikari Shears as well as Todays Instagram hair Stars like Anh Tran @anhcotran and Sal Salcedo @SalSalhair to name a few.

The Main thing that makes Hikari such an amazing brand is their Scissor / Shear sharpening in their Service department.

Any Hikari Shear that is sharpened by the Hikari Scissor factory in Gardena , California will cut like new. They just don’t Sharpen your shear, they refurbish them . When you get them back, they cut as if they are new.

Which makes buying a Hikari such a cost-effective investment! Not only will you do your Cuts faster, easier and with better performance. You will astound your clients with your amazing Cuts! However, if you factor what the cost of your shear over a 20 years life span it costs pennies per day to have the best they will always come back like new after you send them into Hikari Shear Sharpening!
