About

About the HH4L Menuki

The Menuki is a high-end shear comprised of a top quality, proprietary blend of molybdenum and other alloys. Designed with an anatomic thumb set to provide full range of motion in the wrist, there is no matching the performance of these shears. Lightweight and perfectly balanced, the Menuki excels with blunt or point cutting techniques in wet or dry hair.
