Kansai grades its texture tools by tooth count: a 33-tooth thinner, a 15-tooth texturizer, and a 5-tooth chunker, each removing a different amount of hair per pass. The value-tier line is carried in the US by Scissor Mall and Dynamic Sharpening, with cutting shears from 5.0 to 7.0 inches in right- or left-hand builds. The four models run US$149 to US$169 at guide prices.
About
Kansai is a value-tier hair shear and thinner line carried by US specialty retailers. It is positioned as a budget-friendly option built around convex-edge, hollow-ground blades, offset handles, and adjustable tension.
Product range
The cutting shears come in 5”, 5.5”, 6”, and 7” lengths, with right- and left-hand options. Alongside the shears, the line includes a 33-tooth thinner, a 15-tooth texturizer, and a 5-tooth chunker, so a stylist can match the tool to how much hair they want to remove per pass.
