MEET YOUR SHARPENER

Arno Kruger has over thirty years of experience as a stylist, educator, and hair industry expert. He leads Master Shear Sharpener and Japanese Art Shears, where precision, quality, and long-lasting performance are at the heart of everything they do.

Early in his career, Arno saw hairdressing as more than a creative job, it was a responsibility to clients and the craft. This mindset has guided years of travel, teaching, and hands-on work in developing professional equipment, blending tradition with practical results.

As a master stylist and educator, Arno is known for making advanced techniques easy to learn and apply. His expertise in pixie cuts shows his deep understanding of proportion, movement, and structure, ideas that also shape his shear designs and sharpening methods.

He trained under some of the most influential names in modern hairdressing, including Tony & Guy, Vidal Sassoon, and Rita Rusk. These experiences inspire the standards behind Japanese Art Shears, a design house where craftsmanship meets engineering and thoughtful design.

Through his companies, Arno works with a select group of professionals and distributors who value precision, reliability, and lasting quality. His work blends artistry, engineering, and a commitment to advancing the craft for the future.
