Posted at 5:50 PM • No Comments

Kasho scissors – known as the “ultimate edge for professionals” just unveiled their new site. Kasho offers high-quality Japanese shears that are used by stylists world-wide. Their scissors are divided into several different categories: XP, Blue, Ivory, Design Master, Green and Millennium.

According to their website, “every pair of KASHO shears is created through careful design and engineering with advanced materials and heat-treatment technology – and the blending of an integrated manufacturing process with skilful workmanship which measures up to the unrelenting standards passed through generations of the Japanese Samurai sword smithies.”
These Kasho shears are made from two different stainless steel alloys that meet the Japanese demands for quality control. A unique manufacturing process ensures concave inner surfaces, and convex outer surfaces on the shear blades.

A Hair Donation With Extra Heart

Posted at 2:09 PM • No Comments

People frequently donate their hair to charity – usually for wig-making for people who have lost their hair due to an illness. This is a great thing to do, but one seven-year-old girl in Canada went one step further.

She and her mom submitted their waist-length hair to kasho scissors, as part of a donation to cancer patients. Additionally, the little girl – Oceanlilli – gave up her life savings to further help kids in need. She donated her “piggy” bank – a real-sized fire hydrant shaped bank to the Credit Valley Hospital Foundation for its cancer center.

“This is my piggy bank, and it’s pretty full,” she said. She and her mom received support from two dozen friends and family members who turned out to witness her hair-cut. Members of her mini-fan club also made donations in return for a turn with the hair scissors.

Oceanlili has been begging her parents to let her donate her hair since she turned four. Finally on her seventh birthday, they finally agreed.

“I’m very proud of her,” said her father Peter. “We support a lot of charity and (OceanLili’s) been talking about this for three years.”

What a way to ring in a new (birthday) year!

What We Learned in LA

Posted at 12:49 PM • No Comments

Our team recently took a trip down to LA to film segments for soon-to-launch CuttingEdgeHairshow.com, an e-learning platform for stylists. We scheduled a shoot with Rene Antonio and his awesome and dynamic team of hairstylists. The team demonstrated three cutting edge cuts and colors on three models. The team used a variety of different techniques which demanded the use of several different types and brands of scissors, much like renowned Kasho scissors, which are known for their strong construction and ability to cut straight, clean lines.

Above, Rene talks through some techniques with model Stacey, and Jeff Nance at Salon Gregories washes his model’s hair. Stay tuned for updates on these segments as we edit and post them to the CuttingEdgeHairshow.com.
