About
JP Plan is a professional hair shear brand that traces its history to 1996. The brand reaches the US market through Scissor Warrior, where its products are sold; the jpplan.com domain now resolves to the Scissor Warrior storefront, which serves as the brand’s online home. For current model specifications, handle options, pricing, and availability, the Scissor Warrior catalogue is the authoritative source.
Product range
JP Plan’s range centres on two flagship lines: the Painkiller series, which features a flexible 360-degree swivel thumb covered by a US patent, and the Michiko series. Both sit within a broader catalogue of cutting and thinning shears aimed at working stylists.
Steel
JP Plan builds its blades from steels including Hitachi 440C, ATS314 (a cobalt grade), and VG10. Our Hitachi 440C reference covers that grade’s properties in more detail.
Product range
Five JP Plan models are catalogued: the Narita (cutting), Painkiller (cutting), SJ-S Series (cutting), Smooth 302 (thinning), and Michiko (cutting). The four cutting builds and one thinning model suggest a catalogue weighted toward cutting versatility with a dedicated blending option. Pricing on all five models is being researched; the authoritative source is the Takano Canada storefront, where JP Plan is listed for the Canadian professional market.
Who it suits
JP Plan’s catalogue covers the range of cutting configurations that working salon stylists use daily — from general-purpose cutting in the SJ-S Series and Narita through to specialist builds like the Painkiller and the Michiko. The Smooth 302 thinning model completes a kit for professionals who want both cutting and blending from a single brand within the Takano catalogue.
