I had read a lot about Kamisori Black Diamond hair shears but being a little out of my budget I hesitated on making the purchase. No matter how many different shears I compared I always came back to these and decided to just get them. I am extremely happy I did as they are the best hair shears I have used. My coworkers and boss think they're great as well and a couple of them even went and bought their own pair. Definitely worth every penny I paid!
