About

About the HH13T Hanashi Aru

The Hattori Hanzo Shears HH13T is a 14-toothed texturizer. Each tooth mimics a 1/8” point cut. So, whether the client is looking to save time in short or long hair or add deeper texture in long hair…this is a “must-have” texturizer. It is quite possibly the most versatile blending tool in our entire line. The Hanashi Aru is adept at breaking up heavily weighted lines and blending hair on short cuts. It’s a staple for both barbers and stylists looking for ways to get more creative with texture where otherwise limited by just shears. Developed with an ergonomically offset handle, the HH13T provides the stylist comfort for everyday use. One of our most ubiquitous shears, we also offer the Hanashi Aru in a single or double swivel called the HH313T Hanashi Aru Swivel along with a left-handed version called the HH13LT.
