Why Choose Hanzo for
Thinning Shears?

Hanzo thinning shears are crafted from the highest-grade Japanese steel, offering unmatched precision and durability.

How are thinning shears different from texturizing shears?
Thinning shears are designed to remove bulk and create smooth transitions between layers, while texturizing shears focus on adding movement and shape. Both are essential tools for versatile styling.
Can I use thinning shears on all hair types?
Yes, thinning shears can be used on a variety of hair types, but it’s essential to adjust your technique based on hair texture and thickness to avoid over-thinning.
What’s the best way to maintain my thinning shears?
Regular cleaning and proper storage are key. Consider sending them to Hanzo for professional sharpening to keep your shears in optimal condition.
