DIY Care and Repair of Stylist Shears Book
Bonika Mission Statement and Logo
Glorifying Christ is our first priority. Our second priority is to deal with our business associates as we would want them to deal with us.
Our fish logo was chosen for a number of reasons. Number one, the fish predates even the cross as a symbol of Christianity. We feel that the fish accurately reminds us of our mission statement. Secondly, the fish is universally accepted as a creature of prosperity unrestricted by geographic boundaries. The old adage Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime could be said with equal accuracy Teach a person to cut hair or Teach a person to sharpen The logo is always ebony, ivory or gold which represents the various cultures for which our shears are designed. The B inside the fish logo stands for Bonika Shears.
