Eliminating travelling sales reps underpins the brand’s price structure: Axis sells exclusively online and buys shears in 1,000–5,000 piece lots so procurement savings flow through to working stylists. Product families are organised by technique—SEXY for sharp, straight lines, CONY for sword profiles, XY for cobalt all-rounders—alongside home-use and pet grooming ranges, giving buyers a jump-off point before comparing specifications.[2][5]
- XYD630IN cobalt thinning shear: 25% cut ratio, Cobalt V10 blades, reversible even handle, and a bearing-assisted pivot to reduce hand fatigue during all-day salon work.[3]
- XY cobalt shear & thinning set: matching Cobalt V10 blades with 3D offset handles, supplied in 5.5” or 6.0” lengths for stylists who want a balanced wet/dry kit from the same grind run.[3]
- CONY cobalt sword shear: 6.0” sword-profile cutter built from Cobalt V10, weighing 49 g and retailing at ¥34,540 through the Yahoo! Shopping storefront operated by the brand.[4]
Most pro-focused models sit in the ¥34,000–¥60,000 bracket, and the Yahoo! Shopping outlet mirrors the official catalogue for stylists who prefer marketplace checkout. Axis keeps domestic shipping free, offers cash-on-delivery for an additional ¥330, and supplements listings with its SCISSORSナビ resource so salons and home cutters can match handle geometry, steel grade, and tension preferences without relying on a visiting rep.[1][2][4][5]
