Tokko Katana Shears

Since Samuel could start working, he worked in the hair business under his father, Ryan Tokko, who built a successful hair company through innovation and diligence. Sam learned from him about the industry and the importance to listening to customers. “Never settle”, Ryan would say when assessing for quality and price. Learning from his dad was not enough for him. He attended a hair academy in Santa Monica, California where he learned to refine his skills to teach others. During his career as a hairdresser, he learned more about the salon mindset and how to be successful.

Cutting hair became his ultimate hobby. Samuel always thought that he needed the most expensive shears to complete the jobs, but as time went on re-sharpening them and buying new ones, he realized the money he spent made little difference in the cut. He realized that if you can find quality at the right price, your time and effort could be dedicated more to the craft instead of stressing about the price tags.
