Overview
Hattori Hanzo Shears (commonly referred to as Hanzo) is a USA based brand that sells professional hair shears, texturizers, and accessories to licensed cosmetologists and barbers. According to the company, their shears are made from nano powder steel, high carbon steel, and other alloys. The brand operates from a California headquarters.
Product Range
The Hanzo catalog is one of the broader lineups in the professional shear market. It includes cutting scissors, thinning scissors, left-handed scissors, razors, combs, and accessories. Their listed specialties cover slide cutting, channel cutting, point cutting, carving, face framing, layering, texturizing, blending, debulking, scissor over comb, volume control (40%), weight removal (50%), wet cutting, and dry cutting.
That level of specialization suggests Hanzo designs specific models for distinct cutting techniques rather than relying on general purpose shears.
Education and Sharpening
Beyond selling tools, Hanzo reports operating one of the larger haircutting education programs in the industry, stating they provide over 3,000 classes per year. The company also runs a sharpening operation out of its California facility, claiming to sharpen over 100,000 pairs of shears annually. Having education and sharpening under the same roof as shear sales is relatively uncommon among scissor brands.
Availability
Hanzo shears are sold through the brand’s official website at hanzo.com. No third party retail partners are currently listed in our records, which suggests the brand focuses on direct sales.
