LA SHEAR
Professional hair scissor retailer serving USA salons and stylists.
About LA SHEAR
LA SHEAR — operating at lashear.com — is a Los Angeles-based professional scissor specialist carrying Japanese precision shears for US salon stylists and barbers. The store focuses on three established brands — Hikari, Kasho, and Kikui — each representing a distinct tier and approach within the Japanese professional scissor market.
Brands at LA SHEAR
Hikari scissors are manufactured in Japan and positioned at the professional precision tier. The Hikari range covers cutting and thinning shears suited to salon work, with a reputation built on consistent Japanese manufacturing standards.
Kasho is one of the most recognised names in the professional scissor market. Made in Seki, Japan, Kasho’s core range uses VG-10 steel enhanced with tungsten — a combination that delivers finer edge retention than standard 440C at a mid-to-upper price point. The Blue, Millennium, Silver, and Ivory series each target slightly different user preferences in handle style and finish.
Kikui offers a complementary Japanese professional option within the LA SHEAR catalogue, rounding out the available price and specification range for US buyers.
Los Angeles base
Operating from Los Angeles gives LA SHEAR direct proximity to one of North America’s most active salon markets. US domestic shipping applies across the catalogue.

LA SHEAR’s three-brand focus allows a depth of per-model knowledge that a wider catalogue cannot match. For US-based stylists sourcing Japanese precision shears — from Hikari’s consistent manufacturing standards through Kasho’s tungsten-enhanced VG-10W to Kikui’s specialist Japanese production — lashear.com provides direct access without an oversized product grid. USD pricing and standard US domestic shipping apply. For current stock and sizing guidance, reach the team at mike@lashear.com or call 310 415 0742.
