Overview
Kashi is a US based professional shear company headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The brand operates under Kashi Shears Company and sells directly through its own website at kashishears.com.
Product Range
Kashi offers a full lineup of professional hairdressing tools, including cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left handed scissors. The brand’s product range covers a variety of cutting techniques: wet cut, dry cut, slide cut, thinning, and texturizing. This breadth of specialization suggests Kashi is targeting working stylists who want one brand across multiple tool categories rather than piecing together shears from different makers.
Market Position
Kashi sits in the mid range pricing tier. For stylists based in the US, the domestic headquarters means a local point of contact for customer service and warranty support. The Orlando base also positions the company near a large concentration of beauty professionals in the Southeast.
Distribution
Kashi maintains its own direct-to-consumer storefront, giving the brand clear control over pricing, presentation, and the customer relationship. The official online store carries the full product catalog.
