We are proud to introduce Ms. Nozomi Honma from Relaxation Hair 708, who has chosen Naruto Scissors as her very first professional scissors. Ms. Honma is a dedicated individual who pursued her dream of becoming a hairdresser after working in caregiving for several years.

---

■ Ms. Honma, I understand you originally worked in caregiving?

Yes, I got my hairdressing license, but I had to step away due to health issues. I worked in caregiving for several years and even earned my care worker certification. However, as time passed, I realized I still wanted to challenge myself as a hairdresser. That’s when I decided, “Now’s the time!”

---

■ That was a big decision.

Yes, it was. I was fortunate to find a position at Relaxation Hair 708. The owner values not only design but also hair care. The salon specializes in allergy-friendly, total beauty services.


■ I’ve heard that the owner, Mr. Naoya, is passionate about both beauty and the scissors he uses.

That’s right! He let me try Naruto Scissors, saying, “You’ll feel the difference!”


■ Had you heard of Naruto Scissors before?

I had only heard the name but had never seen them. Watching the owner use them was my first time seeing them. It was a bit inspiring to see “those Naruto Scissors” in person.


■ How did they feel when you used them?

I was surprised at how light they felt. I have weak wrists and tend to develop tendonitis. The owner told me that Naruto Scissors would reduce the strain on my wrists, and he was right.

---

■ And that’s when you decided to purchase Naruto Scissors as your first professional scissors?

Yes. I had been thinking about buying scissors for a while, but it didn’t seem realistic until I was about to start working as a stylist. That’s when I thought, “This is the perfect time!” Even then, I was hesitant, but after consulting with Mr. Kuwahara from Naruto Scissors, I felt confident in my decision.


■ I heard you chose models similar to what the owner uses, but customized to fit your hands?

Yes, I chose the Maticline and 2sukiHennessyLamoolS31. Both are laser-engraved with personalized nicknames.

It would be nice if there were more affordable options for first-time hairdressers, but I appreciate that I was able to take my time and carefully choose the right pair with the sales staff. I will continue relying on them for support.


■ We’re glad you found the right scissors. We hope they help you grow as a stylist.

I’m thankful to be back in the hairdressing industry, and with these scissors, I’m ready to work towards becoming a stylist!


■ It may seem like caregiving and hairdressing are different, but they both involve empathy and understanding the needs of others.

I’ll work hard to become a hairdresser worthy of using Naruto Scissors!

■We support your journey, Ms. Honma!
