Just how does someone get into selling scissors?

It’s a niche job, no doubt—but that doesn’t mean it’s a small industry. Hattori Hanzo Shears is the largest provider of Japanese steel scissors in the world. And with more than 120 sales territories across the U.S., Hattori Hanzo employs hundreds of field reps and professional educators who work seven days a week to keep America’s 500,000+ barbers and stylists equipped with the best tools in the industry.

That kind of sales force requires constant recruitment. And what better way to staff an untraditional team than with an untraditional commercial?

Filmed with Santa Monica Field Rep Chris Gillis, this spot highlights what makes Hanzo such a compelling place to work—from base salary and commission to medical coverage and profit sharing. It’s straightforward, authentic, and just a little unexpected—a lot like Hanzo itself.
