Kasho Shears – known as the “ultimate edge for professionals” just unveiled their new US-based site. Kasho offers high-quality Japanese shears that are used by stylists world-wide. Their professional 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 professional 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.

The need for professional shears, didn’t even come into play with John Simpson’s award-winning hair series. Simpson, of Lewis Salon traded created this look, above, as one of several in a colo collection that he said allowed him to re–igninte his creativity. Simpson recently won the Best Haircolor award from the Professional Beauty Association during the 19th annual North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) – the color at left is from his award-winning collection, in which he wove different “stories” of texture and color.

Simpson, a stylist from Pittsburgh, PA, will be one of the people presenting a variety of techniques, cuts colors and more on TheCuttingEdgeHairShow.com

He used brilliant blondes, matte browns and many more techniques to create “something that not only inspires others” but also re-inspired him to get creative with his work. His collection features several photographs of different cuts, color, and style combinations. He showed that often, amazing looks can be created without specific use of shears – hair can be colored and styled expertly!

In the journey from the idea, through the creation of the line, and finally to the award, he said his biggest challenge was to make sure he actually followed through and “did it!”

Book Focuses on Hair Issues of Ethnic Women

The great-great-great-great granddaughter of Madam C.J. Walker – the woman who revolutionized the African-American hair care industry – has written a book to help women and girls deal positively with their hair. A’Lelia Bundles wrote Trip in Time to tell the story of African-American girls who go back in time to meet Madam Walker. Through the reading, she starts to dissolve dangerous misperceptions about what is “good hair.”

“All hair is good hair,” Bundles tells the audience as she does a live reading of her work. “Enjoy what you have, enjoy your natural hair. It’s all about how little girls feel about themselves.” She says that some women are worried about the texture of their hair, along with other features about their appearance. During her visit with the girls, Bundles mixes her story of the true history of Madam Walker – and her work with professional hair shears, women, salons and more – with practical advice about nurturing a strong parent-child relationship.

“It starts and ends with the parents,” Bundles said. “What you see now is a little bit of everything. Now, you’re bombarded with things. That makes it even more important for mothers and parents to help their daughters sort through when they’re watching these images on TV and help them shape their values.”

Bundles adds that a great mother-daughter bonding opportunity is when the mother is doing their daughter’s hair – or even sometimes vice versa.

Walker, born Sarah Breedlove Walker, is the historic entrepreneur who made a name for herself selling hair care products for African American woman. Not only is Walker recorded as the first African-American self-made female millionaire but also the first self-made female millionaire in American history, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
