Stylist Leadership
In 1968, in his quest for hairstyling perfection,
a world champion hairdresser
created the very first Hikari scissors. His
sons, inspired by their father’s passion
for artistic hairstyling, also became renown,
award-winning hairdressers and
are now at the helm of Hikari. These accomplished
stylists and their esteemed
colleagues continue to conceive, develop,
and test every Hikari feature and prototype.
The Hikari difference begins with
hands-on leaders who desire to share
their craftsmanship and vision with others.

Complete Production Control
Hikari is the only fully integrated producer of haircutting
scissors in the industry. Through this unique approach,
Hikari exerts meticulous control over every
aspect of its business, including research, development,
design, production, quality assurance, and service.
This is in sharp contrast to its competitors who“outsource” key operations and simply put their label
on scissors mass-produced by independent factories.
Hikari’s one-of-a-kind operation yields scissors of unrivaled
quality and durability. |

Constant Innovation
As the inventor of almost every high-end
scissor innovation, Hikari is the standard by
which all other scissors are measured.
Many manufacturers have tried to duplicate
the Hikari features, but only the originator
can reliably produce its world-class scissors
and maintain their optimal performance.
Hikari’s pioneering spirit and dedication to
excellence, evident in its scissors, cannot be
imitated. |
Trustworthy Recommendations
Hikari never compensates educators or platform artists
to use, endorse, or recommend its products. It
relies solely upon unsolicited, word-of-mouth referrals
from delighted stylists and their clients. Hikari
treasures the patronage of its loyal users and does not
jeopardize their well-founded trust by promoting eyecatching
features or utilizing marketing hype.

Because Hikari truly understands the critical
influence tools have on a stylist’s physical,
mental, and financial well being, it is committed
to creating the highest quality scissors
at affordable prices in order to meet the
needs and budgets of hairdressers everywhere.
The unsurpassed performance, longevity,
and serviceability of Hikari scissors
make them an important and wise long-term
investment in a stylist’s career. |
