Overview
Kennomai is a Japanese scissor brand based in Suginami, Tokyo. The brand operates under its parent company, Mandoll Co., Ltd. (有限会社マンドール). Kennomai sells through its own online store and focuses on professional hairdressing scissors.
Product Range
Kennomai offers cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left handed scissors. Their specialties include blunt cutting, slide cutting, design cutting, thinning across a wide range (10 to 45%), and volume control. The brand sits in a mid range price tier.
Background
According to Kennomai, the online store is managed by Masafumi Maeda, who describes himself as a customer turned advocate rather than a barber or stylist. Maeda states that he became interested in the brand’s scissors after experiencing them as a client at a salon run by Mr. Wakabayashi, a scissor craftsman. The store manager credits his own thick, coarse hair as the reason he noticed the difference in cutting quality between Kennomai scissors and other brands.
That origin story is unusual in the scissor industry, where most brand representatives come from either manufacturing or hairdressing backgrounds.
Distribution
Kennomai sells directly through its online store at scissors.ocnk.net. The brand does not appear in ScissorPedia’s records as being carried by third party retailers. American stylists would need to order directly from the Japanese online shop, which may involve international shipping logistics.
