Today, we will introduce Mr. Kawamonzen, the owner of Arts hair design located in the heart of Hachinohe City. “Bringing light and happiness to clients from within,” he has spent 22 years dedicating his craft to improving the lives of his clients. Over the years, he has selected eight pairs of Naruto scissors, creating a collection that truly shines.


■How did you first discover Naruto Scissors?

When I was training as a stylist, everyone at the salon I worked for used Naruto Scissors. At the time, it felt like owning a pair of Naruto Scissors marked the transition to becoming a senior stylist. It was almost like a rite of passage—proof of becoming a professional.

■So owning Naruto Scissors was a symbol of being a full-fledged stylist! Can you recall your first experience using them?

In one word, it was emotional. The smoothness of the cut, the sound, how perfectly it fit in my hand—it all reflected the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness that went into their creation. Every aspect of the scissors had an exquisite balance. Naruto Scissors truly embody the gold standard.


■From your first purchase to now, you’ve accumulated eight pairs of Naruto scissors. Could you share your collection?

  •   Turning Queen (5.8 inch)
•   Gilvy Z Ⅱ (6.3 inch)
•   MeganeDBⅡ (5.6 inch)
•   3suki Hennessy Rolling S 27
•   3suki Hennessy Rolling B 27 ×2
•   Jungle B28
•   5suki Cooperline

■Are there any scissors that hold a special place in your heart?

The Turning Queen and Hennessy Rolling B27 I bought 22 years ago are my fovorite scissors. The Turning Queen is my staple for base cuts, while the Hennessy Rolling B27 is essential for adjusting hair volume.


■Your ultimate, timeless pair!

Both are all-purpose scissors that work for virtually any style. They’ve been my reliable main scissors for years. Even after daily use for over 22 years, all I do is clean them with chamois leather, and they maintain their durability and balance perfectly.

■It’s amazing to hear how much you value and care for your scissors!

Naruto Scissors allow clients to feel the difference. From the day of the cut to their next visit, clients notice the smooth texture, manageability, and longevity of their hairstyle. These scissors not only have superior blades but also effectively distribute pressure, which I believe is key to their exceptional performance.


■It’s wonderful that your clients can experience the quality firsthand!

As hairstylists, we’re present at key moments in our clients’ lives—from the birth of a child to their coming-of-age ceremony and beyond. Seeing a child grow through kindergarten, school, and into adulthood is deeply moving. I’m constantly reminded of the impact we have on people’s lives.

We always think about what lies beyond each appointment.


At arts hair design, I pride myself on creating a salon where everyone we connect with feels truly happy—not just by enhancing their appearance but by brightening their hearts as well. We offer more than just hairstyles; we aim to solve everyday concerns and provide a stress-free lifestyle.

■Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your input on creating “the ultimate cutting and thinning scissors”!

For hairstylists, scissors are lifelong companions, like family. I hope all stylists can cherish their scissors as trusted partners throughout their careers.
