– Crossover Anti Virus-
“A pair of scissors that inspires my sensibility” (Whitney VerMeer).
All over the world, a new wave of hair design is taking place that transcends barbers and hairstylists.
The cross-over style, which combines a wide variety of hair designs, is just establishing itself as mainstream in the United States. Mizutani Scissors Japan has taken this style and developed a model to meet the needs of the style. Whitney VerMeer is a global seminar leader. She has joined Mizutani Scissors Japan as a member of their research department and together they have developed the “ACRO CROSSOVER”.
– The Anti Virus Upgrade –
The triple XG-PROTECT coating on the surface of the CROSSOVER “Anti Virus” reduces the multiplication of viruses and bacteria and prolongs the antiviral and antibacterial effect.
The antibacterial effect of the triple-coated CROSSOVER “Anti Virus” is more than twice as effective compared to other coatings. It is more hygienic and safer than conventional coated and/or non-coated scissors.
The optimal model for cross-over style includes:
- Â “stable feel” which is important for the technique of “over-comb” cutting in men’s styles
- “user-friendliness” in the handle that supports and masters various freehand cutting techniques.
- The unique Mizutani Scissors “Nano Powder Metal” which allows for a powerful cutting feel.
The ï½¢ACRO CROSSOVERï½£ model is designed for ultimate creative freedom, making it definitive tool for artists.
The CROSSOVER CA-1 in numbers:
Available in sizes: 5.7 / 6.2 / 6.7
Ring size thumb:horizontal: 18.5 mm・vertical: 21 mm
Ring size ring finger:horizontal: 18 mm・vertical: 18.5 mm

Whitney VerMeer is a global award-winning hairdressing artist celebrated for her conceptual and architecturally inspired hair designs. She is also an active advocate for the principle of equality in the hairdressing and barbering industry.

Our Nano Powder Metal®, made with the new HIP manufacturing method (Hot Isostatic Pressing), is steel fabricated from a fine powder at the nano level. The uniform-grained powder is hardened with high temperature and pressure tempering, essentially eliminating all filler and impurities, and this method is used in precision manufacturing items like Blu-ray disc molds, where high levels of purity are required. At MIZUTANI, in order to create the ideal hair-cutting scissors, we have conducted our own proprietary research with this material, and created scissors with blades that combine strength with a long cutting life and the ultimate sharpness.
