About
Mikado is a professional hair-shear line distributed by Takano Canada, a specialty scissor retailer serving salons and barbers in the Canadian market. The collection sits alongside other lines Takano carries, including its Atali house brand. For current model specs, handle options, steel descriptions, pricing, and Canadian shipping, the Mikado collection on Takano Canada’s storefront is the authoritative source.
Product range
The catalogue spans several model series identified by code — the MX, QX, and XS families (such as the QX-50 and QX-60) plus the compact Petit M. Across these listings the design language is consistent: an ergonomic offset handle with a camel-bump finger rest, a detachable finger rest, convex blades, and a tension screw set with a blue stone. Retailers describe the blades in general terms as high-quality stainless steel; no specific JIS grade is published in the sources reviewed.
Distribution
Mikado shears are available through Takano Canada. Stylists and salons interested in the line should contact Takano Canada directly for ordering, warranty, and after-sales questions.

Product range
Four Mikado cutting models are catalogued: the XS Long, the Petit M, the QX, and the MX. The naming across the range suggests variations in blade length and weight profile — the XS Long for extended cutting and section work, the Petit M for shorter, detail-focused use. Pricing on all four is being researched; the authoritative source for current specifications and prices is the Takano Canada storefront, where the Mikado line is carried for the Canadian professional market.
