Hello Mike !! The kikui are the best scissors I have tried!!! They are excellent, lightweight, super sharp, the tip is fine, they can slide, make a solid cut, I am happy with them.

Mike has been taking care of all things shears for me for over 20years. After a long break from doing hair while I kicked cancers butt and had my daughter.I was in need of a new pair of Hikari’s and didn’ttrust anyone but the most knowledgeable , honest kindest scissor man In Los Angeles.I tried to track him down but my colleague said shehadn’t seen him in her salon since before covid. So I jumped ontogoogle and in no time managed to find his company LA Shear! I was so relieved!!He was able to meet me that day! As always, so professionaland just as nice as ever. I couldn’t be happier with my new Hikari Phantom shears ,Kasho texture scissors Elchim Run, new blow dryer, and as always Mike threw in all the goodies!! A great new Ibiza brush, a scissor case I desperately needed, some YS Park combs , clips and a cutting cape.He literally was my one stop shop to get me to feel more than equipped to confidently jump back into the salon.He even introduced me to a few talented salon owners to help me kick off my salon search.Thanks so much Mike. You are a true GEM!!!

I’ve been buying my shears, combs and brushes from Mike for 18 years and I am alway satisfied. I bought two Kikui Cobalt shears from him a few years ago and I couldn’t be happier, he sends them to Japan to get sharpened and they come back better than they were when I go them brand new!

I have been wanting to buy qulity shears for years but was stalling because I didn’t have enough knowledge on how to buy within my budget and cutting needs. Amazon reviews can only take you so far. I have asked stylists in the past but because I need them only for split ends, and trimming my young daughter’s long hair, their suggestions weren’t realistic for me. Mike was able to help me find appropriate shears and was super responsive and helpful. I finally felt confident enough to make the purchase. I cut my daughter’s hair this week, and the shears were fantastic. It was so easy and her ends look so good now. Many thanks to Mike for helping me figure this out. Sincerely, I have been interested in getting good shears for years. I’m really grateful to Mike for helping me do so.
Mike is super knowledgeable about all the tools he offers and is really helpful in making the best decisions for you’re specific needs.

Mike from LA Shear has been so helpful in finding the perfect pair of Hikari scissors for me. He has given me the option to test out the scissors I wanted (multiple times) & was so patient with me while I sorted out finances. These babies really are top-notch & I am beyond excited to have such a nice pair of scissors in my arsenal. Mike gave me a few options to pay in payments &/or finance through PayPal which was all helpful in making a decision. I really appreciate Mike & I know many other hairstylists who recommend him in the industry. I won’t go anywhere else for scissors moving forward!

I am based out of North Carolina and purchasing shears online was very intimidating. Being able to communicate with Mike about my needs as a stylist made me feel very confident with making such a big purchase. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient and took the time to answer all my questions. I just received my Hikari K60 and 777 texture shears yesterday and I am in heaven!!! They are perfect!!! I look forward to working with Mike again on future purchases. 😊✌🏻

I HIGHLY recommend working with Mike and LA SHEAR if you want the best tools. Purchasing high-quality tools during a pandemic, over the internet, without seeing them can be terrifying. That is until I started working with Mike. I did the research and had the basics ready (craftsmanship, steel quality, tempering, handle choices, etc.) so when I spoke with Mike the first time I knew I had found the right person. He truly cared about the decision I was making – finding the right shears for me. My cuts are cleaner, faster, growing out better, and the shears fit perfectly in my hand – what more can you ask for?! Thank you, Mike!!

After my kit got stolen from my car and all of my tools taken, Mike was extremely accommodating, helpful, and knowledgeable in helping me rebuild my new kit. Would definitely recommend.

I excited to share my experience with LA Shear!If you’re looking for an experience person to educate you about shears, LA Shear is where to buy from. I’ve been in the business since 1992. Yes, I know it’s a long time, but I love what I do! I’ve ever talked to someone that knew so much about shears before! He steered me to the perfect shears for me. I could have easily spent more, but he knew what shears I needed for the type of cutting I do. I will definitely be buys more shears from LA Shear in the future!Plus he drives to you! You can’t be that for service!

After doing some research, I knew I wanted to purchase Hikari shears and was introduced to Mike of LA Shear. From beginning to end, he made the experience of purchasing my shears most pleasant, as he was accommodating of my schedule, came to my salon, and had extensive knowledge of the products in order to help me find the right pair for my needs. After deciding on two pairs of shears, he even threw in some YS Park combs and Ibiza brushes to try! He has helped colleagues of mine in the same way. Very happy with everything, thank you!

LA Shear is the place you go if you are looking for the best deals on professional grade scissors, brushes etc. Ask any professional stylist and they will say the same thing. I met Mike when i was at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in 2004. Everyone knew who he was rhere so I immediately felt like i was in good hands. I have been going through LA Shear ever since, whenever I need anything regarding hair tools, or need info on classes, new products, anything and everything.. LA Shear is LA’s premiere hairdresser supply service.
I have used LA shear as my go to for all my beauty tools for 20 years. Always the best quality and best customer service. Mike from LA shear has become family. My number 1 since day 1 !!
Mike is the only person I trust when buying shears. He’s extremely knowledgeable and helps to chose exactly what you need. Plus he only carries best of the best tools. I bought Hikari and Kikui and both are amazing!

This company is great! I was searching for authentic YS Park combs and found LA SHEAR. I am so happy I did! Their pricing is FANTASTIC and customer service is out of this world! I placed my order and received it three days later. I live on the East coast and was shocked at how fast I received my order. Mike is amazing and reached out to me personally to thank me for my order. That personal touch from a business goes a long way for me. I will continue to order all of my combs from Mike and LA SHEAR

Mike’s attentiveness, professionalism, and passion for shears and make him the absolute best person to buy your shears from.My sister just graduated from cosmetology school and asked for Japanese scissors as a birthday / graduation gift. I know nothing about the underground world of scissors, so I frantically looked everywhere for Japanese scissors and had no luck. It was by some miracle and true blessing that I came across LA SHEAR online and with it, Mike. He offered to give my sister a demonstration at her home, something that no one does, in order to help my sister choose her shears and personalize them to her hands. Mike is an incredible being who even allowed my whole family to witness this special demonstration and fitting.Now when I say miracle, I truly mean miracle because he came out to my sisters house on Thanksgiving day! If that isn’t commitment to your passion, I don’t know what is. My family and I are forever indebted to Mike for his kindness, knowledge, and fast delivery.My sister is beyond happy with her product and my family is forever grateful. We cannot thank him enough.
Micheal always keeps you up to date with the best products he sells. He sells the best high end products he is always very helpful especially if you want to purchase high end shears. He will loan you the shears to try out. I love that you can really get a feel for the right shears before purchasing them.He is a pleasure to do business with.

Mike at LA SHEAR is awesome! He is honest and helpful and always quick to respond. When I told him about the Hikari’s that I wanted, he told me that this other pair of Hikari’s would be better for me. He was right and I absolutely love my shears and he saved me money! He sells the best hair clips on the market and I also buy the SERO from him and it is helping all my client’s hair to grow thicker and healthier. Definitely a game changer! Mike is not only a great salsa dancer, but a huge help to the hair professionals!
