I’m a seasoned veteran of editorial and content management with the skills to make a difference.
Education and practice editor focused on practical guidance for working stylists. Amy covers first-scissors buying decisions, damage assessment, daily care routines, and the real-world maintenance questions that professionals face every day behind the chair. Before joining ScissorPedia, she spent twelve years as a salon educator.
Founder and lead researcher at ScissorPedia. James started cataloguing professional scissors in 2008 after years of frustration with marketing-heavy, fact-light product information in the hairdressing industry. His focus areas include Japanese manufacturing heritage, steel metallurgy, and building the independent product database that powers this site.
I offer English editing and language facilitation services to improve the fluency and impact of written English.
I am an award-winning novelist who has published two books with a major New York City publishing house.
We live our lives through stories. I enjoy listening to a good story, and I take pride in crafting someone else’s.
Technical editor specialising in steel metallurgy, blade geometry, and manufacturing processes. Marcus brings a materials science background to ScissorPedia’s reference library, translating complex alloy compositions and hardness ratings into practical guidance for working stylists. His deep-dive articles on cost of ownership, sharpening science, and hit-point mechanics are among the site’s most-read pieces.
Industry analyst covering buying guides, retailer verification, and global market trends. Sarah’s bilingual English-Japanese research gives ScissorPedia direct access to manufacturer documentation and trade publications that rarely surface in English. Her comparison guides and authorized dealer investigations have helped thousands of stylists make informed purchasing decisions.
The ScissorPedia editorial team publishes staff-written news, manufacturer research reports, and collaborative reference pieces. Articles credited to the editorial team draw on contributions from multiple researchers and are reviewed by at least two editors before publication.
