Welcome to Totally Shears Home of Kokoro-USA

Our esteemed history dates back to the late 1980s when our founder and 

Master Craftsman, Edward Lake, embarked on a journey at Designers Edge International. Here, he immersed himself in the intricate nuances of shear manufacturing, mastering the art of handcrafting shears alongside comprehensive service and repair techniques. His expertise extended to esteemed brands like "Kasho" by Kai, where he handled warranty work, reconditioning, and repairs for various shear brands nationwide.

In 1991, Edward Lake established Totally Shears with a profound commitment to excellence in shear services and reconditioning. For over 35 years, we have been the trusted destination for professional hairstylists seeking unparalleled experience and quality. Equipped with factory-grade machinery and seasoned craftsmanship, our dedicated service department caters to a spectrum of shear needs, from routine reconditioning/sharpening to intricate repairs and full restoration.

In fact, our specialization lies in restoring blade damage. Employing authentic factory techniques and leveraging our extensive expertise, we ensure meticulous attention to detail in every service we undertake. Recognizing the pivotal role your hair cutting shears play in your profession, we relentlessly strive to deliver excellence and expedite the return of your invaluable tools. Often, shears leave our service center within the same day or 24 hours of receipt, meticulously serviced by hand to guarantee optimal performance.

Our unwavering commitment to precision and quality led us to proudly acquire the esteemed Kokoro brand of hair cutting shears in 2017. Today, we import, distribute, and retail the esteemed Kokoro line, catering to professional stylists worldwide with the same dedication to excellence that defines our legacy.
