About

About the HH40T Mazeru

The Hattori Hanzo Shears HH40T Mazeru is a 40-toothed blending shear that removes 50% of the hair to create a perfect blend in a scissor-over-comb or anywhere else a stylist might be looking to blend. It is also great for adding significant volume to the hair by creating upwards of 40 small bits of hair throughout a layer that will elegantly push the longer hair in that layer. The HH40T is unquestionably a staple in any hair professional’s set of shears. It is–quite simply–a required tool for all stylists and barbers.

One of our most ubiquitous shears, the Mazeru also comes in a single or double swivel called the HH340T along with a left-handed version called the HH40LT.
