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
The five JP Plan models are the Narita, Painkiller, SJ-S Series, and Michiko cutting shears, plus the Smooth 302 thinner. For current specifications and prices, consult the Takano Canada storefront, which carries JP Plan for Canadian professionals.
Who it suits
JP Plan covers daily salon cutting with the SJ-S Series and Narita, plus specialist builds including the Painkiller and Michiko. The Smooth 302 thinning model adds a blending option within the Takano range.
