About

About the HH14T Shimatta

The Hattori Hanzo Shears HH14T is a 26-toothed medium-coarse blending texturizer. The Shimatta is an extremely efficient debulking tool that gives cutters the ability to remove significant weight. It allows barbers and stylists to blend the hair to add a nice, soft visual texture. The HH14T is fundamentally your “industry standard” texturizer, except that this is a considerable upgrade to the “thinning shears” that most stylists learn to use in beauty school. The curved teeth of the HH14T let this shear slide out seamlessly without grabbing hair, while the micro serrations on the top of the teeth help add a hint of visual texture.

One of our most ubiquitous shears, the Shimatta comes in a single or double swivel called the HH3T along with a left-handed version called the HH2T.

Happy

2nd pair because the first were stolen in a salon break in. Hanzo’s customer service was great, and after a month without them, I am soooo glad to have my fave shears back. xo

Love these!!! (Thank you Amy!🫶�)

These shears are a much needed addition to my tools! They’re not like the “thinning” shears I use for fades or blending. The Shimatta shear makes it easy to soften as well as add a subtle dimension to my work. So glad Amy turned me on the them!
