The Hattori Hanzo Shears HHVT1 is similar to the HH13T but explicitly developed for the dry cutting enthusiast in mind. Its 14 individual teeth feature sword-like edges that maintain dry hair integrity by sealing hair cuticles without tearing the hair. The HHVT1 helps save time as a point cutting replacement tool but also allows the client to break through thick weight lines for blending and adding deeper texture to long hair.

USAmazing!
They are definitely quality shears. You can tell from the moment you use them. I am a big believer that you get what you pay for. Especially when it comes to shears. They cut like butter. Absolutely love them and highly recommend them!

Mamba Shear Romance
The shear is a game changer. The tip has a smooth squared off end so the fear of cutting yourself or harming your client is not existing but besides all that, this shear has extremly changed my cutting life. And im not talking by a little bit either. I go through many haircuts with this shear exclusively and my all my other Hanzo shears get jealous:smile: I must say that the educator who introduced these shears to me tho made me think differently about my cutting game and changed my entire process of cutting. So much that my clients notice and my staff. Its a contagious exciting bug floating around my salon! So much so that it has prompted me to increase our cutting prices!! Woopwoop!
