Panasonic’s New Series for Barbers Begins
THE BARIKAN Brand Story
From Japan, THE BARIKAN – Born for Barbers
"Barikan" is the Japanese word for "hair clipper".
In the late 1800s, hair clippers from the French company Bariquand et Marre arrived in Japan. A part of the company’s name was mistakenly adopted as the name of the tool itself, and thus "Barikan" became a uniquely Japanese term. This moment marked a turning point in Japanese barbering culture, sparking modernization and innovation.
THE BARIKAN is the ultimate tool for barbers, born from over 40 years of Panasonic's continuous evolution of electric hair clippers, refining cutting performance, quality, and usability.
With THE BARIKAN, Panasonic is bringing together Japanese and global barber culture to create new values in the barbering industry.
THE BARIKAN aims to become the "No.1 clipper brand, trusted and recognized by barbers around the world".
THE BARIKAN Equity
Created Entirely for Barbers
THE BARIKAN puts barbers first. Always.
Born in Japan, our tools are dedicated to empower barbers, celebrate their craft and honor the culture that defines them.
