About

About the HH1L Kamikaze

The Hattori Hanzo HH1L Kamikaze left-handed shear is the newest addition to Hanzo’s exclusive high-carbon family. Now available in both right and left-handed options, left-handed cutters can now enjoy the elite slide-cutting capabilities that the Kamikaze offers. Designed with a wide blade and exaggerated radius, this shear excels at dry slide cutting, allowing it to cut through coarse, dry hair easily. The HH1L is perfect for any left-handed stylist who does a lot of dry finishing or detail work, such as channel cutting, slide cutting, carving, face-framing, and point cutting. The Kamikaze is especially useful for curly hair (typically cut dry) with a curved shape to follow the curl pattern. The HH1L is adept at layering, texturizing hair, and blending extensions.

This shear is also available in both swivel and right-handed configurations.

They're amazing

Once you learn how they fit you and your style best, they're incredible! So many blending techniques are that much easier and require so much less work to make their magic happen! I'm glad I took the plunge and got these! To be fair, I've been waiting years for these to come in a left handed model. So worth it!
